Hi everyone!
GitHub just released its official MCP Server, a new open-source (MIT licensed) tool!
For anyone building AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) is becoming a standard way for LLMs to call external tools. This server acts as a secure, local bridge specifically between your AI agents and the rich GitHub API.
This significantly simplifies building AI agents that need to automate or interact deeply with GitHub workflows, while keeping authentication secure.
Great work on the MCP Server! The project is well-structured and easy to navigate. I especially appreciate the modular design, it makes customization and scalability much easier :))
It made debugging smoother for me since I could stay inside VS Code the whole time.
