GitHub MCP Server
the official replacement for the archived reference server
twenty-plus toolsets over the whole github api, first-party, with a read-only flag — the highest-frequency integration in real agentic work.
this is where coding agents actually live, and github's own go implementation covers it properly: issues, pull requests, actions, code scanning, dependabot, discussions, projects, notifications, security advisories and more, grouped into toolsets you can enable selectively.
the remote endpoint at `https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/` needs no install at all. locally there's a published docker image. auth is an oauth browser flow with tokens held in memory, or a personal access token if you prefer.
the description above is ours, condensed from the ranking. pricing moves — check it on the vendor's own page before you rely on it.

we researched this category against vendors' own pricing pages and licence files. that is where this line comes from — not from the vendor, and not from anything they paid for.
