GitHub MCP
The GitHub MCP bridges Claude directly to GitHub's live API via Model Context Protocol. Claude becomes an actual team member that can read and make changes to your repository — managing branches, opening PRs, reviewing commits, and more — all without leaving your workspace. The most installed connector on the platform.
What you get
- Live GitHub integration, PR creation and review, branch management, commit browsing, repository interaction from within Claude.
Customize your output
- Scope permissions to specific repos and define which GitHub operations Claude can perform autonomously vs. with confirmation.
Example output
Claude opened PR #47 with branch feature/auth-v2, wrote the description from commit history, requested review from @team, added labels.
Best for
Developers, engineering teams, and solo builders who want Claude to be a real contributor to their GitHub repository.
