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.
io.github.github/github-mcp-serverOfficial docs →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
- 1Connect via the remote server URL — no local install needed
- 2Grant access to the narrowest set of repos that covers your work

}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.
