An MCP server that lets AI tools read repositories, manage issues and pull requests, drive Actions, and inspect security findings using natural language. Capabilities are grouped into toolsets like repos, issues, pull_requests, actions, and code_security, with a read-only mode for safety. Run it locally via the ghcr.io Docker image with a personal access token, or connect to GitHub's hosted remote server at api.githubcopilot.com over OAuth.
