Validation

  • Use the Yavira download entry.
  • Review SKILL.md after the package is downloaded.
  • Confirm the extracted package contains the expected setup assets.

Install with your agent

Agent handoff

Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.

  1. Download the package from Yavira.
  2. Extract it into a folder your agent can access.
  3. Paste one of the prompts below and point your agent at the extracted folder.
New install

I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.

Upgrade existing

I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.

GitHub MCP Server

Complete GitHub Integration for AI Agents Connect AI agents to GitHub for repository management, code operations, issue tracking, pull requests, and the full GitHub API.

๐Ÿค– Agent-Native GitHub Workflows

Enable agents to perform complex GitHub operations that previously required manual API integration: Clone and navigate repositories Read and modify files Create issues and pull requests Review code and discussions Manage branches and releases

๐Ÿ” Secure Authentication

OAuth-based authentication with fine-grained permissions. Agents access only what you authorize.

๐Ÿ“ฆ Zero Setup for Common Operations

Pre-configured tools for the most common GitHub workflows. No manual API calls required.

Option 1: Official MCP Server (Archived - Community Maintained)

# Community-maintained GitHub MCP server npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/server-github # Or build from source git clone https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/servers-archived cd servers-archived/src/github npm install npm run build

Option 2: Third-Party Implementations

Several community implementations available. Check the MCP Registry for current options.

Configuration

Add to your MCP client config: { "mcpServers": { "github": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"], "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here" } } } }

Get GitHub Token

Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens Generate new token (classic) or fine-grained token Select scopes: repo - Full repository access read:user - Read user profile read:org - Read organization data (if needed) Fine-Grained Token (recommended): Repository permissions: Contents (Read/Write), Issues (Read/Write), Pull Requests (Read/Write) Organization permissions: Members (Read) if accessing org repos

Repository Operations

1. Create Repository Agent: "Create a new repository called 'my-project'" 2. Clone Repository Agent: "Clone the OpenAI GPT-4 repository" 3. List Repository Files Agent: "What files are in the src/ directory?"

File Operations

4. Read File Agent: "Show me the README.md file" Agent: "Read the contents of src/index.ts" 5. Create/Update File Agent: "Create a new file docs/API.md with API documentation" Agent: "Update the version in package.json to 2.0.0" 6. Search Code Agent: "Search for files containing 'authentication logic'" Agent: "Find where the DatabaseConnection class is defined"

Issue & PR Management

7. Create Issue Agent: "Create an issue: 'Add dark mode support'" 8. List Issues Agent: "Show me all open bugs" Agent: "What issues are assigned to me?" 9. Create Pull Request Agent: "Create a PR to merge feature/login into main" 10. Review Pull Request Agent: "Review PR #42 and check for security issues"

Branch Operations

11. Create Branch Agent: "Create a new branch called 'feature/user-auth'" 12. List Branches Agent: "Show all branches in this repo" 13. Merge Branch Agent: "Merge 'develop' into 'main'"

Advanced Operations

14. Create Release Agent: "Create a release v2.0.0 with the latest changes" 15. Search Repositories Agent: "Find popular React component libraries" 16. Fork Repository Agent: "Fork the Vue.js repository to my account"

Code Review Automation

Human: "Review all PRs and flag security issues" Agent: 1. list_pull_requests(state="open") 2. For each PR: - get_pull_request(pr_number) - read_changed_files() - analyze for security vulnerabilities - create_review_comment(security_findings)

Issue Triage

Human: "Label all new issues with 'needs-triage'" Agent: 1. list_issues(state="open", labels=null) 2. For each unlabeled issue: - read_issue(issue_number) - add_label("needs-triage")

Release Automation

Human: "Prepare v2.0.0 release" Agent: 1. create_branch("release/v2.0.0") 2. update_file("package.json", version="2.0.0") 3. update_file("CHANGELOG.md", new_release_notes) 4. create_pull_request("release/v2.0.0" -> "main") 5. create_release(tag="v2.0.0", notes=changelog)

Documentation Sync

Human: "Update documentation from code comments" Agent: 1. search_code(query="* @description") 2. extract_docstrings() 3. generate_markdown_docs() 4. update_file("docs/API.md", generated_docs) 5. create_pull_request("Update API documentation")

๐Ÿ› ๏ธ Development Assistants

Agents that help developers with repetitive GitHub tasks: creating issues, managing labels, updating documentation, code review.

๐Ÿค– CI/CD Automation

Build agents that trigger workflows, check build status, create releases, manage deployments.

๐Ÿ“Š Repository Analytics

Analyze code quality, track issue resolution time, monitor PR velocity, generate reports.

๐Ÿ” Code Search & Discovery

Find code patterns, identify dependencies, discover similar implementations, locate technical debt.

๐Ÿ“ Documentation Automation

Sync code comments to docs, generate API references, update changelogs, maintain README files.

โœ… Use Fine-Grained Tokens

Prefer fine-grained tokens over classic PATs. Limit scope to specific repositories and permissions.

โœ… Read-Only When Possible

If the agent only needs to read code/issues, grant read-only access.

โœ… Environment Variables

Never hard-code tokens. Always use environment variables.

โœ… Token Rotation

Rotate tokens regularly. Set expiration dates.

โœ… Audit Agent Actions

Monitor what the agent does. GitHub activity log tracks all API operations.

Rate Limits

Authenticated Requests: 5,000 requests/hour (per user) Search API: 30 requests/minute Best Practices: Cache repository data when possible Batch operations where applicable Use conditional requests (If-None-Match headers)

"Bad credentials" Error

Verify token has not expired Ensure token has required scopes (repo, read:user) Check token is correctly set in environment variable

"Resource not found" Error

Verify repository name format: owner/repo Check agent has access to private repositories (if applicable) Ensure branch/file path exists

Rate Limit Errors

Wait for rate limit reset (check X-RateLimit-Reset header) Reduce query frequency Consider GitHub Apps for higher limits
