Configuration

The skill uses Docker to run the official GitHub MCP server:

  • Image: ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server
  • Auth: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable

Environment Variables

Variable Required Description
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN Yes GitHub PAT for authentication
GITHUB_HOST No For GitHub Enterprise (default: github.com)
GITHUB_TOOLSETS No Comma-separated toolsets to enable
GITHUB_READ_ONLY No Set to 1 for read-only mode

Limiting Toolsets

To reduce context and improve tool selection, enable only needed toolsets:

# Only repos and issues
GITHUB_TOOLSETS=repos,issues python executor.py --list

# Only pull requests and code security
GITHUB_TOOLSETS=pull_requests,code_security python executor.py --list

Error Handling

If tool execution fails:

  1. Verify Docker is running: docker ps
  2. Check GitHub token is set: echo $GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN
  3. Ensure token has required permissions for the operation
  4. Review executor.py output for details
