20 Best GitHub MCP Servers, Compared (September 2026)

Updated 20 of 1,495 GitHub servers in the Glama registryRebuilt weekly

The short answer

For most readers, the server to reach for is GitHub MCP Server (github/github-mcp-server). It is GitHub's official MCP server, its README documents one-click install and OAuth/PAT configuration, and it has a commit 3 days ago and 201 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks. If the job is exploring an unfamiliar GitHub repository before editing, the better answer is github-codemunch-mcp, which indexes code into symbols and returns signatures and summaries instead of whole files, with a commit 0 days ago and 725 commits in the last 12 weeks.

Whichever you choose, give it the narrowest access that still works (a read-only credential, a replica, a scratch account), and widen it only once you have watched what your agent actually asks for.

Glama operates the MCP registry these numbers are measured from, and sells MCP hosting and a gateway. No position on this page is paid for. How the registry is built.

The ranking, with the evidence

Each position is a weighted mean of adoption (40%), maintenance (24%), momentum (14%), tool description quality (13%) and trust (9%), multiplied by three attenuators: how directly the server is about GitHub (named for it, declaring it, tagged with it, or merely mentioning it), whether its repository is still moving, and how much independent evidence of adoption it has. Open the score on any entry to see every number, including the ones marked ≈, which were imputed from the median of the other candidates rather than measured. The maintenance grade on each entry is mostly issue responsiveness, release recency and open security alerts rather than commits, so a recent commit beside a low grade is two different measurements rather than a contradiction.

  • Abandoned but popular: People use it, but its default branch has stopped moving. Fine to keep running, risky to adopt.
  • Community favourite: Widely adopted and still actively maintained.
  • Dormant: Neither changing nor widely adopted. Here because it still matches the search.
  • Emerging: Small audience, growing quickly, maintained. The bet with the most upside.
  • Steady: Maintained, modest audience, no surprises in either direction.

    jgravelle/jcodemunch-mcp ↗

    Best for: Exploring an unfamiliar GitHub repository before editing: it indexes code into symbols and returns signatures, summaries, and requested implementations instead of whole files.

    It uses tree-sitter AST parsing to index a GitHub repository locally, then exposes seven tools for listing indexed repos, getting file trees and outlines, searching symbols, and fetching one or more symbol sources. The query tools only work on repositories that have first been indexed with index_repo.

    GitMCP

    Abandoned but popular▼ 1
    idosal/git-mcp ↗

    Best for: For AI assistants needing accurate API usage from a niche GitHub library: it exposes the repo as a no-setup remote MCP endpoint.

    GitMCP is a remote MCP server that connects AI assistants to a GitHub repository's docs and code through gitmcp.io/{owner}/{repo}, while its tool list spans Git operations, GitHub/Gitea repos, releases, backups, auth, config, and health checks. Before choosing, keep in mind that the generic gitmcp.io/docs mode leaves repository selection to the assistant, so the project recommends specific repository endpoints when security and relevance matter.

    Best for: Developers wanting natural-language search over their own GitHub starred repositories: it indexes the stars and READMEs and exposes a query tool for them.

    The README documents an MCP server deployed as a Cloudflare Worker, whose search_github_stars tool takes a natural-language query and returns matching starred repositories and relevant README content. Its setup assumes a Cloudflare account with R2 and AutoRAG configured, plus a GitHub Personal Access Token with repo scope.

    Loki Mode

    Community favouriteNo change
    asklokesh/loki-mode ↗

    Best for: Building a product from a spec: its quickstart turns a PRD or one-line idea into a build with cost and time estimates before spending.

    Loki Mode is an autonomous coding-agent CLI whose MCP server exposes project state and task queue operations, memory retrieve/store, code search, quality and verification reports, repo hotspots and co-changes, and structured findings and learnings over stdio. One requirement to know before choosing it is that non-interactive quickstart needs both an idea or PRD path and an explicit --yes, so a stray CI argument cannot start a paid build on its own.

    GitHub Brain MCP Server

    DormantNew
    wham/github-brain ↗

    Best for: Organizations that want to summarize discussions, issues, and pull requests beyond GitHub's 100-item API limit: it stores data locally and returns Markdown.

    The README documents an interactive TUI for OAuth or personal-access-token setup, a pull command that populates a local database, and an MCP server that serves summaries from that database. It requires an ORGANIZATION value and a GitHub token, and only data that has been pulled is available to summarize.

    mcp-skylos

    Community favourite▼ 4
    duriantaco/skylos ↗

    Best for: For AI coding agents fixing static-analysis findings in context: it exposes security, dead-code, secrets, quality, and remediation tools with file paths and line numbers.

    The server exposes 12 tools that let an agent scan a repository and act on findings, including analyze, security_scan, quality_check, secrets_scan, verify_dead_code, remediate, generate_fix, validate_code_change, and get_security_context. One requirement to know before choosing it: Skylos is a local-first Python CLI, and its deterministic local API proof is reported as incomplete for PHP, Rust, Dart, C#, Kotlin, and Shell.

    deptrust

    Steady▼ 1
    clidey/deptrust ↗

    Best for: AI agent about to install a dependency: it checks exact or latest versions against OSV and GitHub Advisory DB, returning block, review, or allow.

    It runs locally as an MCP server and CLI, and it checks package versions against public registry, OSV, and GitHub Advisory Database APIs. Provider coverage varies by ecosystem; if no vulnerability provider supports an ecosystem, results return unknown rather than allow.

Questions people ask

Should I use GitHub MCP Server (github/github-mcp-server) or modelcontextprotocol/servers?

Use github/github-mcp-server if you want the official server and a remote server hosted by GitHub. It had a commit 3 days ago and 201 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks. modelcontextprotocol/servers is labelled Abandoned but popular, with a last commit on its default branch 404 days ago and 89,977 stars.

What do I need to run the official GitHub MCP Server?

Its README documents one-click install and OAuth/PAT configuration for teams using VS Code. It is a remote MCP server hosted by GitHub, and it has no npm package published, so you set it up through GitHub rather than installing a package.

How is github-codemunch-mcp different from GitHub MCP Server?

github-codemunch-mcp is for exploring an unfamiliar repository before editing, returning signatures, summaries, and requested implementations instead of whole files. It exposes 7 tools and had 725 commits in the last 12 weeks, with a commit 0 days ago. The official server is a remote server hosted by GitHub that documents one-click install and OAuth/PAT configuration.

Is github-security-mcp safe to rely on?

It is labelled Abandoned but popular: its last commit was 169 days ago, it had 0 commits on its default branch in the last 12 weeks, and the repository is not archived. It still exposes 39 audit tools with A-grade tool descriptions. That makes it a candidate for security audits, but not an actively developed one.

Should I use cve-mcp or deptrust for vulnerabilities?

Before installing a dependency, deptrust is the match, because it checks exact or latest versions against OSV and GitHub Advisory DB and returns block, review, or allow. For incident response and CVE triage in a chat, cve-mcp is the match, because it unifies NVD, EPSS, CISA KEV, GitHub Advisory, and OSV and exposes 41 tools. deptrust had a commit 11 days ago, while cve-mcp had a commit 55 days ago.

Which server should I use for GitHub Projects V2 sprint planning?

Use mcp-github-project-manager, because it integrates with GitHub Projects V2 and exposes create, update, and metrics tools for projects, milestones, sprints, issues, and pull requests. It is labelled Steady, with a commit 20 days ago and 63 commits in the last 12 weeks.
