GitHub MCP — wraps the GitHub public REST API (no auth required for public endpoints)

Part of Pipeworx — an MCP gateway connecting AI agents to 1476+ live data sources.

Tools

Tool Description
search_repos Search GitHub repositories by keyword. Returns repo name, description, star count, forks, primary language, and URL. Use when exploring projects or finding code implementations.
get_repo Look up ONE named repository by its owner/repo slug — "facebook/react", "torvalds/linux", "vercel/next.js". Use this whenever the repository is named in the question. Answers how many stars / forks / watchers a repo has, what license and language it uses, its topics, description, open issue count, and when it was last pushed.
list_repo_issues List issues for a GitHub repository by owner and repo name; filters pull requests out automatically. Returns issue number, title, state, labels, author, comment count, URL, and timestamps. Defaults to open issues.
get_user Get a GitHub user's public profile info. Returns name, bio, company, location, public repo count, followers, and social links. Specify username (e.g., username="torvalds").
get_file_contents Read a file from a PUBLIC GitHub repository (or list a directory) by path. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "show me the README / package.json / of ", "read from <owner/repo>", inspecting source or config files. Pass owner + repo + path (omit path or "" for the repo root listing). Optional ref = branch/tag/commit SHA. Returns decoded text for files (capped ~60k), or a directory listing of {name, path, type, size}.
search_code Search CODE across public GitHub repositories — find where a function/symbol/string is defined or used. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "find code that does X", "which repos use ", "show me an example of ", "where is defined". Supports GitHub code-search qualifiers right in the query: repo:owner/name, org:name, user:name, language:go, filename:Dockerfile, path:src, extension:ts, in:file. Returns matching files with repo, path, and URL. Note: indexes the default branch only, ignores very common terms, and is capped at ~10 searches/minute.
get_releases Get the latest release and recent release history for a repository — the canonical way to answer "what is the latest version of ", "when was last released", "what changed in the newest release". Returns the latest published stable release (tag, name, date, prerelease flag, release notes, downloadable assets with download counts) plus recent releases. Falls back to git tags for repos that tag but do not cut formal releases.
list_commits List recent commits on a repository to see latest activity, what changed, and who is committing. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what are the recent commits to ", "when was <owner/repo> last updated", "latest changes in ". Optional sha (branch/tag/commit to start history from), path (only commits touching that file/dir), and since/until ISO timestamps. Returns sha, message, author, and date per commit.
github_trending_repos Trending GitHub repositories — what is hot, popular, and taking off on GitHub right now. Answers "what are the top trending GitHub repos this week", "what is hot on GitHub today", "popular new repositories this month", "trending Rust / Python / AI projects", "which GitHub projects blew up recently". Two modes: mode="new" (default) ranks repositories CREATED inside the time window by star count — the projects that blew up this week — and mode="active" ranks repositories PUSHED inside the window by star count, surfacing established projects under heavy development. Set the window with since (day, week, or month), filter with language, add free-text query keywords such as "llm" or "agent", and raise a min_stars floor. Returns full_name, description, language, stars, forks, created and pushed dates, topics, and URL per repo. Computed live from the GitHub Search API; github.com/trending ranks by stars GAINED during the period using an unpublished algorithm that the public API keeps private, so ordering differs and every response says so in its caveat field.

Quick Start

Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp"
    }
  }
}

What this endpoint actually serves

tools/list at https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp returns the tools in the table above plus the shared Pipeworx meta-tools — ask_pipeworx, discover_tools, search_within, remember/recall and the rest of the gateway-wide set. So the tool count you see is larger than this table: a single-pack endpoint currently lists roughly 30 shared tools alongside the pack's own. The connection's initialize response states its exact scope, and is the authoritative answer for a given day.

This is deliberate, not multiplexing by accident. The meta-tools are what let a scoped connection answer a question this pack does not cover — via ask_pipeworx, which routes across the whole catalog — without you adding a second MCP server. There is currently no way to mount a pack endpoint without them; if the extra schemas cost you more context than the routing is worth, connect to the full gateway once rather than to several pack endpoints.

Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway to get every pack's tools listed directly, instead of just this one's:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pipeworx": {
      "url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
    }
  }
}

Both URLs reach the same gateway and the same 1476+ data sources. The only difference is which pack's tools are listed directly; ask_pipeworx reaches all of them from either one.

Using with ask_pipeworx

Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English — this works on the pack endpoint above as well as on the full gateway:

ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Github data" })

The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
