The reference integration for engineering agents.
Codeby GitHubhealthyOAuthFree with a GitHub account
01What it is
GitHub's official MCP server lets your agent work your repositories directly: read and search code, open and triage issues, and manage pull requests — the backbone of any engineering agent.
Who it’s for: Engineering teams who want an agent that reads and acts on their repos, not just chats about code.
02Highlights
Issues & PRs
Create, comment on, and manage issues and pull requests without leaving the agent loop.
Search code
Search across repositories and read files to ground the agent in your actual codebase.
03Add it to your agent
