Best GitHub MCP Servers in 2026
A GitHub MCP server is usually the second server anyone installs: it lets the agent read issues, review pull requests, search code across repos, and check CI status without you copy-pasting links into the chat.
The official GitHub server set the bar, but community forks add features like fine-grained tool filtering and GraphQL support. All options below need a personal access token — the detail pages link each project's recommended scopes.

FAQ
What token scopes does a GitHub MCP server need?
For read-heavy workflows, a fine-grained token with repository read access is enough. Add pull-request and issue write scopes only when you want the agent to comment or create. Never use a token with admin scope for day-to-day agent work.
Official server or community fork?
The official server is the safest default and tracks GitHub's API closely. Community options below are worth it when you need specific extras — check the star count and last-commit date on each detail page to gauge maintenance.
Can it review PRs automatically?
The server gives the agent the raw material (diffs, files, comments); the review quality comes from pairing it with a code-review skill. The skill category linked below lists the best combinations.
