Where is the configuration stored?

The skill creates or updates a file named .mcp.json in your project's root directory, which Claude Code reads to initialize the server.

Do I need a GitHub token for this skill to work?

Yes, you must provide a GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN with the appropriate permissions to allow Claude to interact with your repositories.

Can I use this for private repositories?

Yes, as long as the Personal Access Token you provide has the necessary scopes to access your private repositories.

What is the benefit of using Docker for the GitHub MCP?

Using Docker ensures the MCP server runs in an isolated environment, preventing conflicts with local system dependencies and providing a consistent experience across different machines.

Are there any prerequisites?

You must have Docker installed and running on your system before attempting to use this skill.

Despliegue y DevOps

Automates the configuration and installation of the GitHub MCP server using Docker containers.

Acerca de

This skill simplifies the integration of GitHub capabilities into Claude Code by setting up the GitHub Model Context Protocol (MCP) server via Docker. It automatically detects or creates the .mcp.json configuration file, manages environment variables like the GitHub Personal Access Token, and ensures a seamless containerized setup for accessing repositories, issues, and pull requests directly within the AI workflow, avoiding local dependency conflicts.
