Before you upgrade GitHub MCP Server
Newest firstUse Go 1.26.8 or newer to build this release.
Read the evidence
For modern clients, `search_repositories` with `minimal_output: false` returns curated details rather than a full GitHub API object; legacy clients retain full objects.
Read the evidence
Change Go imports and `go get` paths to `github.com/github/github-mcp-server/v2` and use v2.0.1 or later; v2.0.0 has the incorrect module path.
Show 47 older
For MCP 2026-07-28+, send matching `Mcp-Method`, `Mcp-Name` and annotated `Mcp-Param-*` headers; omit argument headers when the corresponding argument is absent or null.
Read the evidence
Use Node.js 26.x when building the UI; the package now declares `node: ^26.0.0` instead of supporting Node 20/22.
Read the evidence
Pagination advertises `perPage` consistently; the previous `per_page` input remains accepted.
Read the evidence
Read responses preserve visible Markdown, titles, comments and commit messages while filtering unsafe invisible characters.
Read the evidence
OAuth metadata advertises default scopes; non-default scopes such as `delete_repo` are requested when needed.
Read the evidence
Use an HTTPS URL for `--gh-host` or `GITHUB_HOST`; HTTP enterprise hosts are rejected.
Read the evidence
Correct unknown names in static `--tools` configuration before starting the server.
Read the evidence
Set `allow_symlink_write: true` explicitly when intentionally updating a symbolic link.
Read the evidence
For `add_issue_comment`, supply `body` or `reaction`; use `comment_id` only with `reaction`, never with `body`.
Read the evidence
Requests cannot disable server-enforced lockdown; repository access caches are isolated by caller.
Read the evidence
Oversized request bodies are rejected before MCP parsing. Configure `--authorization-server` for OAuth metadata and use CORS across OAuth discovery routes.
Zero-argument tools accept omitted `arguments` but reject explicit null and malformed JSON; successful responses are more compact. OAuth scope checks request the permissions needed for each tool invocation.
The `search_issues` tool uses semantic search by default; issue reads expose closing pull requests and issue types can be removed.
Read the evidence
The `list_label` tool sorts results by descending issue count.
Read the evidence
Use Go 1.25.12 or newer to build this release.
Read the evidence
Remove the short-lived `show_ui` argument from UI-enabled writes; the MCP App show/defer behavior now controls rendering.
Read the evidence
The `create_repository` tool defaults to private when visibility is omitted.
Read the evidence
Use uppercase `confidence` enum values matching the GraphQL schema.
Read the evidence
Remove `--dynamic-toolsets` and `GITHUB_DYNAMIC_TOOLSETS`; configure `--tools` or `--toolsets` instead.
Read the evidence
Set `--base-url` to the public URL behind a proxy, or explicitly enable `--trust-proxy-headers` for a trusted proxy.
Read the evidence
OAuth metadata ignores proxy forwarding headers by default.
Read the evidence
Project item responses use compact content and field-value shapes.
Read the evidence
Code search returns compact results with text-match snippets.
Read the evidence
Static CLI configuration limits which tools per-request filtering can expose. Browser clients can use CORS again, and `application/json; charset=utf-8` is accepted.
MCP Apps use the `remote_mcp_ui_apps` feature flag with Insiders opt-in.
Read the evidence
Use Go 1.25.0 or newer to build this release.
Read the evidence
The `copilot` toolset is enabled by default.
Read the evidence
Issue, pull-request, tag and release-list responses are trimmed to smaller result shapes.
Read the evidence
Issue, pull-request and file-write responses use smaller result shapes.
Read the evidence
Use consolidated `actions_list`, `actions_get`, `actions_run_trigger` and `projects_list`, `projects_get`, `projects_write`; the old non-consolidated toolsets are removed.
Read the evidence
Projects and Actions use consolidated method-based tools by default; configured legacy names resolve through aliases.
Read the evidence
Replace `--insider-mode` with `--insiders`, and `GITHUB_INSIDER_MODE` with `GITHUB_INSIDERS`.
Read the evidence
Correct invalid tool names in explicit tool configuration; invalid names now produce an error.
Read the evidence
Classic PAT scopes filter the tools exposed over stdio; `list-scopes` reports tool scope requirements. The `--tools` flag works with feature-gated tools and deprecated aliases.
Read the evidence
Rename `issueNumber` to `issue_number` when calling `assign_copilot_to_issue`.
Read the evidence
The empty `experiments` toolset is removed.
Read the evidence
Review comments are returned grouped as threads.
Read the evidence
Dynamic mode no longer enables the default toolset automatically.
Read the evidence
Clients supporting MCP icons display Octicons alongside tools and resources. Older clients affected by the icon metadata regression can connect again. Stdio tool calls no longer hit the reported missing-dependency panic.
Configure remote lockdown with `X-MCP-Lockdown`. Copilot-authored content is no longer filtered out.
Project list responses gain cursor pagination metadata and revised serialization.
Read the evidence
Returned content is sanitized, including HTML and code-fence filtering.
Read the evidence
Use `pull_request_review_write` with `create`, `submit_pending` or `delete_pending` instead of the four separate review-write tools.
Read the evidence
Replace `get_issue`, `get_issue_comments`, issue-label reads and `list_sub_issues` with `issue_read`; use `issue_write` for create/update and `sub_issue_write` for add/remove/reprioritize.
Read the evidence
Use Go 1.24.0 or newer to build this release.
Read the evidence
Replace the six `get_pull_request*` read tools with `pull_request_read` and its `method` values: `get`, `get_files`, `get_status`, `get_diff`, `get_reviews`, `get_review_comments`.

The default toolsets are now `context,repos,issues,pull_requests,users`; explicitly enable other needed toolsets.
