MCP serverValidated

GitHub MCP — issues, PRs, and CI from inside the session

GitHub's official MCP server: read and manage issues, pull requests, and workflow runs without leaving the agent session — the difference between 'draft me a PR description' and the agent actually opening the PR.

A vetted listing, not an install — add the config to your MCP client yourself. CoSquared never writes MCP config.

Why this one

First-party, actively maintained, and the one server nearly every repo workflow can use — landing work as PRs is the shipping loop itself.

How to use it

  1. 1Connect via the remote server URL — no local install needed
  2. 2Grant access to the narrowest set of repos that covers your work

Client config

Placeholders only — bring your own values

Security notes

OAuth grants the agent access to every repo your account can reach, including private ones. Scope the grant to the repos you actually work in; anything the agent reads can end up in model context.
