To use the server, set up the necessary environment variables for GitHub authentication, install dependencies, and configure your local setup according to the provided instructions.

  • Access any file in a GitHub repository via a specific URI - List contents of a repository and navigate through directories - Support for branch-specific file access - Serve file contents as plain text
  1. Enabling AI applications to read and analyze code from GitHub repositories.
  2. Automating file retrieval and monitoring changes in specified repositories.
  3. Assisting developers with repository management through automated tools.

Add to your AI client

Use these steps to connect MCP GitHub Repository Server in Cursor, Claude, VS Code, and other MCP-compatible apps. The same JSON appears in the Use with menu above for one-click copy.

Cursor

Add this to your .cursor/mcp.json file in your project root, then restart Cursor.

.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Desktop

Add this server entry to the mcpServers object in your Claude Desktop config, then restart the app.

~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

Add this to your project's .mcp.json file. Claude Code will detect it automatically.

.mcp.json (project root)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}

VS Code (Copilot)

Add this to your .vscode/mcp.json file. Requires the GitHub Copilot extension with MCP support enabled.

.vscode/mcp.json

{
  "servers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Windsurf

Add this to your Windsurf MCP config file, then restart Windsurf.

~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Cline

Open Cline settings, navigate to MCP Servers, and add this server configuration.

Cline MCP Settings (via UI)

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@modelcontextprotocol/server-mcp-server-github-repo-loglmhq"
      ]
    }
  }
}
