],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN>",
"YOUR_TOKEN": "<YOUR_YOUR_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}Add this to your Claude Desktop config file. Find it at ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json on macOS.
What this does
github/github-mcp-server exposes a set of tools to Claude over the Model Context Protocol. After you add it to claude_desktop_config.json (snippet above) and restart Claude Desktop, those tools become callable inside any conversation. That makes it useful when you want Claude to reach into your developer tooling without copy-pasting context every turn.
Requirements
This server needs the following environment variables to be set before it can run:
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN YOUR_TOKEN
Set these via the env object in your MCP config (see claude_desktop_config.json snippet above).
Common use cases
- •Drive your build, test, lint, or deploy commands from a chat session
- •Pull CI status, commit metadata, or PR review state into context
- •Inspect or scaffold project boilerplate without leaving Claude
