github-mcp-server

GitHub's official MCP server: an agent reads repositories, issues and pull requests and works with them. Comes as a hosted version from GitHub and a local one in Docker.

Who it is for

For developers who want an agent working with their GitHub repositories.

How to start

  1. The easiest route is GitHub's remote server in VS Code, Cursor or Claude Desktop, following the README.
  2. For the local setup, create a GitHub token and keep it in an environment variable.
  3. Add it to Claude Code: claude mcp add github -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=$GITHUB_PAT -- docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server.

Steps are taken from the README. Check the current version in the repository before running them.

ChromeDevTools

chrome-devtools-mcp

Hands Chrome DevTools to an agent: network, console, performance, screenshots. The agent does not just click, it sees why a page is slow or broken.

A Playwright-based MCP server that lets an agent drive a browser through page structure rather than screenshots. Good for testing sites and automating web actions.

serena

A toolkit for coding agents that works with code semantically: finds symbols and references and edits through language servers instead of rereading whole files. Saves context on large projects.
