GitHub Client FAQs

Question 1

How does it manage GitHub API rate limits?

Accepted Answer

The client features intelligent rate limiting. It automatically waits and retries when limits are reached, prioritizes cached data to minimize API calls, and provides warnings as you approach your rate limit.

Question 2

Do I need a GitHub token to use this tool?

Accepted Answer

No, it works without a token for public repositories, though with a lower rate limit (60 requests/hour). Using a GitHub token is recommended as it significantly increases the rate limit to 5,000 requests/hour and allows access to private repos.

Question 3

What are the core features of this GitHub Client?

Accepted Answer

Key features include three GitHub tools (repo search, issue retrieval, code search), intelligent SQLite caching, graceful handling of GitHub API rate limits, and TypeScript for type safety. It also works with or without authentication.

Question 4

Does the GitHub Client use caching, and how does it work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it uses SQLite for intelligent caching. This reduces API calls and improves performance. It applies different Time-To-Live (TTL) durations for various endpoints, and expired entries are automatically cleaned up.

Question 5

What is the GitHub Client (MCP Server)?

Accepted Answer

It's an interactive Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that integrates with the GitHub REST API. It offers powerful tools for searching repositories, retrieving issues, and searching code within GitHub.
