README
Minimal Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes GitHub-focused tools for AI assistants.
🔧 Quick Start (Local)
# 1. Clone & install
git clone <repo-url>
cd github-review-mcp
pnpm install
# 2. Add credentials
echo "GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here" > .env
# 3. Run the server
pnpm start
The server listens on the port specified by your MCP client (default 3000).
🖥️ Using from an MCP Client
Cursor IDE
Add this to Settings → Extensions → MCP (or your mcp-servers.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-review-server": {
"command": "node",
"args": ["/absolute/path/github-review-mcp/src/index.js"],
"env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here" }
}
}
}
Generic MCP Client
Point the client to node /absolute/path/github-review-mcp/src/index.js and pass GITHUB_TOKEN in the environment.
🐳 Docker (Hosted)
A Dockerfile mirroring the hosted image is included.
# Build
docker build -t gh-mcp .
# Run
docker run -e GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_your_token_here -p 3000:3000 gh-mcp
Attach the container to your MCP client using http://localhost:3000 (or the mapped port) as the command.
