get_repo_infoLABSCO SUMMARY
What it can generate depends entirely on what the repository publishes.
A repository with an OpenAPI or GraphQL definition produces properly typed tools; one with only source code gets whatever function extraction can recover, which is a weaker result. The playground exists for exactly that reason — execute a generated tool with real parameters before you register the server, rather than discovering the gap in a conversation.
What it is
A generator that turns a GitHub repository into an MCP server. It classifies the repository — API, library, CLI tool, MCP server or documentation — then parses whatever interface definitions it finds (OpenAPI and Swagger, GraphQL schemas, gRPC and Protobuf service definitions, AsyncAPI specifications) and analyses source code to extract functions, producing tools from them. The output is a server.mjs you register with any MCP client. A hosted MCP endpoint alongside it answers repository questions directly.
What you get
- A generated MCP server from a GitHub URL, three ways: the web UI,
npx @nirholas/github-to-mcp <url>, or thegenerateFromGithubfunction which reports how many tools it produced and saves the server to a directory - Repository classification into API, library, CLI tool, MCP server or documentation, so the generation strategy matches what the repo actually is
- Interface definitions parsed into tools: OpenAPI and Swagger, GraphQL schemas turned into query and mutation tools, gRPC and Protobuf services, AsyncAPI for event-driven APIs, and function extraction from source
- A generated server that speaks stdio — JSON-RPC on stdin, responses on stdout — so it works with Claude Desktop, Cursor, the Continue extension and any other MCP client
- An interactive playground in the web application: pick a generated tool, fill in the parameters and execute it before wiring anything up
- A hosted endpoint at
https://modelcontextprotocol.name/mcp/github-to-mcpwith two tools of its own —get_repo_info,search_repos
Requirements
For generation, nothing beyond Node — the CLI runs through npx. GITHUB_TOKEN is optional and only needed for repository access beyond what anonymous requests allow; the registry entry marks it not required and secret. The generated server is a plain server.mjs you run with node, registering it in your client with an absolute path and passing GITHUB_TOKEN in the env block when the repository needs it. Restart your client after editing the configuration. The project is registered as io.github.nirholas/github-to-mcp; the hosted endpoint needs no credentials.
Setup effort
One command — npx @nirholas/github-to-mcp https://github.com/stripe/stripe-node
USE CASES
01
Getting an MCP server for an API that has none
Point the generator at the repository holding its OpenAPI or GraphQL definition and register the generated server with your client.
02
Checking a generated tool before trusting it
Open the playground, fill in the parameters and execute it, instead of finding out mid-conversation that the tool does not work.
03
Building server generation into a pipeline
Call the generator programmatically, read how many tools came back, and save the server to a path your deployment picks up.
04
Looking up a repository from a conversation
Use the hosted endpoint's own tools to fetch repository information or search repositories without installing anything.
2 tools
Listed in project docs. Your client may show a different list.
