github/github-mcp-server

This system is a GitHub Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes a comprehensive suite of tools for managing GitHub resources, including issues, pull requests, code scanning, and Copilot. It provides both a command-line interface for dynamic tool execution and an HTTP server with full OAuth 2.0 support, allowing clients to discover and invoke capabilities based on their specific OAuth scopes. The architecture emphasizes security and observability through structured error tracking, request context management, and content sanitization, while also offering interactive UI applications for composing and editing GitHub content.

This period focused on modernizing the GitHub MCP server architecture, including a new CLI tool (mcpcurl), consolidated tool implementations, and enhanced observability. The work also introduced automation scripts, improved error handling, and added offline icon support.
