Integrate with the GitHub Enterprise API to access repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows.
GitHub Enterprise MCP Server
An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for integration with GitHub Enterprise API. This server provides an MCP interface to easily access repository information, issues, PRs, and more from GitHub Enterprise in Cursor.
Compatibility
This project is primarily designed for GitHub Enterprise Server environments, but it also works with:
-
GitHub.com
-
GitHub Enterprise Cloud
Note: Some enterprise-specific features (like license information and enterprise statistics) will not work with GitHub.com or GitHub Enterprise Cloud.
Key Features
-
Retrieve repository list from GitHub Enterprise instances
-
Get detailed repository information
-
List repository branches
-
View file and directory contents
-
Manage issues and pull requests
-
Repository management (create, update, delete)
-
GitHub Actions workflows management
-
User management (list, create, update, delete, suspend/unsuspend users)
-
Access enterprise statistics
-
Enhanced error handling and user-friendly response formatting
Integration with AI Tools
Claude Desktop
Add the following to your claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-enterprise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp", "--token=YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN", "--github-enterprise-url=YOUR_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL"]
}
}
}
Replace YOUR_GITHUB_TOKEN and YOUR_GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL with your actual values.
Cursor
Recommended: URL Mode (Most Stable)
For the most reliable operation in Cursor, using URL mode is recommended:
Start the server in a separate terminal window:
cd /path/to/github-enterprise-mcp
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" node dist/index.js --transport http
Configure Cursor's MCP settings:
-
Open Cursor and go to Settings
-
Navigate to AI > MCP Servers
-
Edit your
.cursor/mcp.jsonfile:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-enterprise": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
}
}
}
Restart Cursor to apply the changes
Alternative: Command Mode
Alternatively, you can configure Cursor to use the command mode, although URL mode is more reliable:
-
Open Cursor and go to Settings
-
Navigate to AI > MCP Servers
-
Click Add MCP Server
-
Enter the following details:
-
Name: GitHub Enterprise
-
Command:
npx -
Arguments:
@ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp -
Environment Variables:
-
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL: Your GitHub Enterprise API URL -
GITHUB_TOKEN: Your GitHub personal access token
Alternatively, you can manually edit your .cursor/mcp.json file to include:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-enterprise": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"@ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp"
],
"env": {
"GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL": "https://github.your-company.com/api/v3",
"GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token"
}
}
}
}
Additional Options in HTTP Mode
-
--debug: Enable debug logging -
--github-enterprise-url <URL>: Set GitHub Enterprise API URL -
--token <TOKEN>: Set GitHub Personal Access Token -
--language <LANG>: Set language (en or ko, default: en)

Using the Tools in Cursor
Once you have set up the MCP server and configured Cursor to connect to it, you can use the GitHub Enterprise tools directly in Cursor's AI chat. Here are some examples:
Listing Repositories
mcp_github_enterprise_list_repositories(owner="octocat")
Getting Repository Information
mcp_github_enterprise_get_repository(owner="octocat", repo="hello-world")
Listing Pull Requests
mcp_github_enterprise_list_pull_requests(owner="octocat", repo="hello-world", state="open")
Managing Issues
# List issues
mcp_github_enterprise_list_issues(owner="octocat", repo="hello-world", state="all")
# Get issue details
mcp_github_enterprise_get_issue(owner="octocat", repo="hello-world", issue_number=1)
# Get issue/PR comments
mcp_github_enterprise_list_issue_comments(owner="octocat", repo="hello-world", issue_number=1)
# Create a new issue

mcp_github_enterprise_update_repository(
owner="octocat",
repo="hello-world",
description="Updated description",
has_issues=true

User Management (Enterprise Only)
These features are specifically designed for GitHub Enterprise Server environments and require administrative permissions:
# List all users in the GitHub Enterprise instance
mcp_github_enterprise_list_users(filter="active", per_page=100)
# Get a specific user's details
mcp_github_enterprise_get_user(username="octocat")
# Create a new user (Enterprise only)
mcp_github_enterprise_create_user(
login="newuser",
email="[emailΒ protected]",

Prerequisites
-
Node.js 18 or higher
-
Access to a GitHub Enterprise instance
-
Personal Access Token (PAT)
Docker Installation and Setup
Option 1: Running with Docker
Build the Docker image:
docker build -t github-enterprise-mcp .
Run the Docker container with environment variables:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
-e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \
-e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \
-e DEBUG=true \
github-enterprise-mcp
Note: The Dockerfile is configured to run with --transport http by default. If you need to change this, you can override the command:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
-e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \
-e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \
-e DEBUG=true \
github-enterprise-mcp node dist/index.js --transport http --debug
Option 2: Using Docker Compose
Create a .env file in the project root with the required environment variables:
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=https://github.your-company.com/api/v3
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token
DEBUG=true
Start the container with Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
Check the logs:
docker-compose logs -f
Stop the container:
docker-compose down
Installation and Setup
Local Development (Using Concurrent Mode)
This method is recommended for active development with automatic recompilation and server restarts:
Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git
cd github-enterprise-mcp
npm install
Run the development server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
npm run dev
This will:
-
Compile TypeScript code automatically when files change
-
Restart the server when compiled files are updated
-
Run the server in HTTP mode for URL-based connections
Connect to Cursor using URL mode as described below
Installation and Setup for Production
Option 1: Using URL Mode (Recommended for Local Development)
This method is the most stable and recommended for local development or testing:
Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git
cd github-enterprise-mcp
npm install
Build the project:
npm run build
chmod +x dist/index.js
Run the server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
node dist/index.js --transport http --debug
Connect to Cursor using URL mode:
- Add the following to your Cursor's
.cursor/mcp.jsonfile:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-enterprise": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
}
}
}
Option 2: Install as a Global Command (npm link)
This method is useful for local development:
# After cloning the repository
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git
cd github-enterprise-mcp
# Install required packages
npm install
# Build
npm run build
chmod +x dist/index.js
# Link globally
npm link
# Run as a global command
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
github-enterprise-mcp --transport=http --debug
Option 3: Using npx (When Package is Published)
If the package is published to the public npm registry:
npx @ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp --token=your_github_token --github-enterprise-url=https://github.your-company.com/api/v3
Language Configuration
This MCP server supports both English and Korean languages. You can configure the language using:
Environment Variables
# Set language to Korean
export LANGUAGE=ko
# Or in .env file
LANGUAGE=ko
Command-line Arguments
# Set language to Korean
node dist/index.js --language ko
The default language is English if not specified.
