## Tools included

-   create\_issue
    
    Create a new GitHub issue in a repository.
    
-   list\_issues
    
    List issues in a repository with optional filters.
    
-   create\_pull\_request
    
    Open a new pull request.
    
-   get\_file\_contents
    
    Read the contents of a file at a path in a repository.
    
-   search\_repositories
    
    Search GitHub repositories by query.
    

The authoritative list comes from the server's tools/list at runtime. This catalog entry may lag the upstream until the next ToolPiper release.

## Security notes

This server uses a personal access token with full repo scope. Treat the token like a password; revoke it from GitHub Settings if you stop using the server. The original Anthropic reference server is archived; GitHub now publishes an official replacement at github/github-mcp-server.
