About this source

GitHub connector for managing repositories, issues, pull requests, commits, and code. CRITICAL USAGE RULES: 1. Use listRepositories() to discover available repos before other operations. 2. Repository names use owner/repo format (e.g., "anthropics/claude-code"). 3. Use searchCode() for finding code patterns across repositories. 4. Issue and PR numbers are integers, not IDs. 5. File contents are returned as base64 - decode if needed. AUTHENTICATION: - Uses OAuth token from user's connected GitHub account - Scopes: repo, read:user, user:email, read:org

Caveats

  • ⚠ PatchOps exposes a curated 18-method subset mapped to 21 endpoints in GitHub REST API version 2022-11-28; it is not the complete GitHub REST surface.
  • ⚠ Write methods require an explicit action execution lane and are certified only with local exact-wire tests.
