Development Cloning and running the server locally. Building This project uses bun as its runtime and package manager. A wrapper script ( ./bun ) is included that downloads a pinned version of bun on first use, so you don't need to install it globally. Run ./bun install to install dependencies. Use ./bun run watch http to run the server in HTTP mode and reload on changes. You will need a GitHub token with the correct scopes. Here is a direct link to create such a new token. Create a .env file based on the .env.sample file. Then update the GITHUB TOKEN value in .env . VS Code Debugging The project includes a VS Code debug profile called \"Debug Github MCP\" that launches the server in HTTP mode with full debugging support, running the TypeScript source directly via bun. To use it: - Open the project in VS Code - Go to the Debug panel (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D) - Select \"Debug Github MCP\" from the dropdown - Press F5 or click the play button Breakpoints will work properly in TypeScript source files thanks to source map support. Testing The MCP Inspector is a very handy to exercise the MCP server from a web-based UI.
