Use the GitHub MCP server
in Claude Code

Repos, issues, and pull requests from your GitHub account — in your AI. This guide connects GitHub to Claude Code (the terminal agent) 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 Claude Code

Claude Code adds MCP servers via the `claude mcp add` command. The gateway route takes about two minutes:

  1. Connect GitHub to your free gate gateway from the verified directory.
  2. In your terminal: claude mcp add gate https://gateturbo.com/api/mcp --transport http
  3. Approve the sign-in when Claude Code opens it in your browser.
  4. GitHub's tools now appear in every Claude Code session — with per-tool allow/ask/block rules if you want them.

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, ChatGPT, 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 Claude Code 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.
