## Pricing

from $0.00005 / actor start

This Actor is paid per event and usage. You are charged both the fixed price for specific events and for Apify platform usage.

## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are a software tools running on the Apify platform, for all kinds of web data extraction and automation use cases.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

In JavaScript/TypeScript projects, use official [JavaScript/TypeScript client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js.md):

```bash
npm install apify-client
```

In Python projects, use official [Python client library](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python.md):

```bash
pip install apify-client
```

In shell scripts, use [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md):

````bash
# MacOS / Linux
curl -fsSL https://apify.com/install-cli.sh | bash
# Windows
irm https://apify.com/install-cli.ps1 | iex
```bash

In AI frameworks, you might use the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/platform/integrations/mcp.md).

If your project is in a different language, use the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

For more details, see Apify documentation as [Markdown index](https://docs.apify.com/llms.txt) and [Markdown full-text](https://docs.apify.com/llms-full.txt).


# README

## GitHub MCP Server 🐙

This Apify Actor implements the **Model Context Protocol (MCP)** for the GitHub API. It creates a secure bridge between your AI agents (like Claude Desktop, Cursor, or custom agents) and your private or public GitHub repositories.

**Why use this?**
- **Give Claude "Sight":** Let your AI read your private code to write bug fixes.
- **Agentic Workflows:** Enable agents to search for repos, read issues, and understand your codebase structure without cloning locally.
- **Zero Ops:** Runs in the cloud via Apify. No need to host your own local MCP server.

### 🚀 Features

*   **⚡ Real-time SSE:** Fully supports Server-Sent Events for instant, low-latency communication.
*   **🔒 Secure & Private:** Works with your own Fine-grained Personal Access Tokens. Your code stays yours.
*   **🔎 Deep Search:** Find repositories precisely using GitHub's advanced query syntax.
*   **📂 File Access:** Fetch raw file content up to 100MB.
*   **🐞 Issue Tracking:** List open/closed issues to help agents prioritize work.
*   **💰 Cost Efficient:** Designed for "Pay-per-Event" (Apify Standby Mode) - pay only when you chat.

### 📦 Tools Provided

| Tool Name | Description | Arguments |
| :--- | :--- | :--- |
| `search_repositories` | Search all of GitHub. | `query` (string), `per_page` (number) |
| `get_file_content` | Get raw content of a file. | `owner` (string), `repo` (string), `path` (string) |
| `list_issues` | List repository issues. | `owner` (string), `repo` (string), `state` (enum: open, closed, all) |

### 🛠️ Usage

#### 1. Prerequisites
*   An Apify Account.
*   A **GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT)** (Classic or Fine-grained) with `repo` scope.

#### 2. Configuration (Input)
When starting the Actor, provide the following input:

```json
{
    "githubToken": "ghp_your_secret_github_token...",
    "port": 8000
}
````

#### 3. Connection URL

Once running, the Actor will provide a **Standby URL** (accessible via the "Standby URL" button in the Apify Console).

Your MCP Connection URL will be:
`https://<your-actor-id>.apify.actor/sse`

### 🔌 How to Connect

#### 1. For SSE-Compatible Clients (e.g., Claude Desktop, MCP Inspector)

Most modern MCP clients support SSE directly. Use the **Standby URL** provided in your Apify Console.

**Config Example:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-apify": {
      "url": "https://<your-username>--github-mcp-server.apify.actor/sse?token=<your-token>",
      "transport": "sse"
    }
  }
}
```

#### 2. For Stdio-Only Clients (e.g., Cursor, Antigravity)

Some IDEs only support local commands. You can use our **Bridge** to connect these clients to the cloud.

1. Create a file named `bridge.js` (copy it from this repo's `dist/bridge.js`).
2. Add this to your config:

**Config Example:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-apify": {
      "command": "node",
      "args": ["/path/to/bridge.js"]
    }
  }
}
```

***

### 🛡️ Security & Permissions

- **Fine-grained Tokens:** We recommend using GitHub's Fine-grained Tokens and selecting only the repositories you want your AI to access.
- **Environment Variables:** For maximum security, skip the `githubToken` input and set it as an Environment Variable (`GITHUB_TOKEN`) in the Apify Actor settings.

### 💰 Pricing

This Actor is priced **Pay Per Event** to ensure fair usage billing.

### 👨‍💻 Development

Built with:

- [Model Context Protocol SDK](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk)
- [Octokit](https://github.com/octokit/octokit.js)
- [Apify SDK](https://docs.apify.com/sdk/js)

# API

You can run this Actor programmatically using our API. Below are code examples in JavaScript, Python, and CLI, as well as the OpenAPI specification and MCP server setup.

## JavaScript example

```javascript
import { ApifyClient } from 'apify-client';

// Initialize the ApifyClient with your Apify API token
// Replace the '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>' with your token
const client = new ApifyClient({
    token: '<YOUR_API_TOKEN>',
});

// Prepare Actor input
const input = {};

// Run the Actor and wait for it to finish
const run = await client.actor("10emmmm/github-mcp-server").call(input);

// Fetch and print Actor results from the run's dataset (if any)
console.log('Results from dataset');
console.log(`💾 Check your data here: https://console.apify.com/storage/datasets/${run.defaultDatasetId}`);
const { items } = await client.dataset(run.defaultDatasetId).listItems();
items.forEach((item) => {
    console.dir(item);
});
