Github MCP connector
GitHub is a cloud-based platform for hosting code repositories, tracking issues, and managing software development workflows. The GitHub MCP connector allows AI agents to create and manage repositories, branches, and pull requests, as well as track issues and review code changes. It also supports managing collaborators, labels, and commits, enabling automated development workflows across an organization's codebase.
Authentication type
- OAuth 2.0 Authorization Code - Requires a one-time user login to authorize the agent to access the service on their behalf.
How the GitHubMCP connector works
This connector acts as a proxy to GitHub's hosted MCP server. Boomi Connect handles authentication and routing. GitHub's server defines the available tools, input schemas, and behavior, and controls changes to them.
GitHub hosted MCP server tools
GitHub's hosted MCP server exposes 42 tools across the context, repos, issues, pull_requests, and users default toolsets. The server is free for all GitHub users. Refer to GitHub pricing for pricing information.
