Use the GitHub MCP server
in ChatGPT

Repos, issues, and pull requests from your GitHub account — in your AI. This guide connects GitHub to ChatGPT (chatgpt.com) through a governed gateway — one URL that also works in every other MCP client you use, with your rules and a full log attached.

Setup: GitHub in ChatGPT

ChatGPT adds MCP servers via custom connectors in developer mode. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect GitHub to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. Open ChatGPT → Settings → Connectors and enable Developer mode under Advanced.
  3. Click 'Create', name it 'gate', paste your gateway URL, and set authentication to OAuth.
  4. Approve the authorization — GitHub is now available in your ChatGPT conversations.

What to ask once it’s connected

“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?”

Why route it through a gateway

One URL, every client

The same GitHub connection works in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, VS Code too — no per-client re-wiring.

Rules before regret

Allow, ask, or block every tool GitHub exposes — reads can flow freely while writes require your approval.

Every call logged

A plain-language activity log of everything ChatGPT did with GitHub — searchable, exportable, auditable.

Scanned and probed

GitHub passed a live handshake probe and a security scan before listing — and drift detection watches it after you connect.
