What you can do

What your AI can do with GitHub

Real prompts you can type the moment it's connected — no setup, no docs to read.

“Summarize the open PRs waiting for my review.”

“What changed on main since Friday?”

“Create an issue from this bug description.”

“Which issues are labeled critical and unassigned?”

Security check

How secure is the GitHub MCP server?

Every server in the gate directory has to pass the same four checks before your AI can touch it. Here's how GitHub holds up.

✓ Verified directory serverGitHub · github.com

Official endpoint

Operated by GitHub (github.com) at its documented MCP endpoint — not a third-party mirror or community re-host.

OAuth sign-in — your account, your rules

You grant access from your own GitHub account and can revoke it there at any time. gate never sees your password.

Scanned before it goes live

gate checks every tool for prompt injection, hidden instructions, data-exfiltration hints, and over-broad permissions before the server is available through your gateway.

Watched for drift

If GitHub adds or changes tools later, gate re-scans and alerts you — before your AI acts on the change.

GitHub's server requires OAuth, so it can't be scanned anonymously — connect it in gate and the same scan runs automatically before it goes live.

How it works

Connected in three steps

FAQ

Questions, answered

Is there an official GitHub MCP server?

Yes — GitHub operates its own remote MCP server at api.githubcopilot.com. gate connects you to that official endpoint and adds security scanning, per-tool access rules, and an activity log on top.

How do I connect GitHub to Claude or ChatGPT?

Add gate's gateway URL to your AI client once, then pick GitHub in the directory. You sign in to GitHub via OAuth to grant access. From then on, GitHub's tools are available in every client you've connected to gate.

Do I need to host anything?

No. GitHub runs the server, and gate is fully managed. You just connect one URL — there's nothing to install, deploy, or maintain.

Is the GitHub MCP server safe to connect?

It's the vendor's official endpoint, and gate scans its tools for prompt injection and hidden instructions before it goes live, re-checks it whenever it changes, and lets you allow, block, or require approval for every single tool.
