| description | GitHub workflow best practices and tool selection. Use when working with GitHub repositories, pull requests, issues, or GitHub API interactions. |
GitHub
- Prefer using the
githubMCP for GitHub tasks, since callingghfrom a shell can introduce escaping issues in text inputs. - Use
ghCLI commands if needed, especially when thegithubMCP does not support a specific action and the CLI command is straightforward. - Use
gh apifor advanced GitHub API interactions that are not natively supported byghcommands. - Always assume GitHub URLs may refer to private repositories and use
ghormcp__githubfor authentication.
