🚀 GitHub's Official Remote MCP Server!

[ravitemer]

GitHub just released their official remote MCP server at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/ - and it works perfectly with MCPHub.nvim! https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/tree/main?tab=readme-ov-file#remote-github-mcp-server

Super Simple Setup

Just press A in the :MCPHub UI or add to your ~/.config/mcphub/servers.json. Thanks to ${},${cmd:}` placeholders, your secrets stay secret.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
      "headers": {
        "Authorization": "Bearer ${GITHUB_ACCESS_TOKEN}"
      }
    }
  }
}

That's it! No complex installations, no local processes - just a URL and your token.

Why This is Game-Changing

This is exactly what MCP was designed for!

• ✅ One URL → Full GitHub capabilities
• ✅ Works everywhere → Avante, CodeCompanion, CopilotChat, etc.
• ✅ Always up-to-date → Maintained by GitHub themselves

The Future is Bright

Imagine when other services follow suit:

• https://api.gmail.com/mcp/ for email management
• https://api.drive.google.com/mcp/ for file operations
• https://api.notion.com/mcp/ for workspace tools
• https://api.linear.com/mcp/ for project tracking

One protocol, infinite possibilities! 🌟
