What does the Github MCP server do?
Unofficial read/write access to the GitHub REST API, with configurable tool groups, writes off by default and typed rate-limit handling.
Is the Github MCP server free?
The server is free, but you will likely need an account. The server itself is free, but it connects to a service that needs an account or API key, which may have paid tiers. Check the provider for current pricing.
Does Github run locally or remotely?
Local. Runs on your machine (stdio). You install it with npx, uvx, Docker or from source.
