MCP servers for GitHub in Claude Code
341 MCP servers for GitHub in the catalog list Claude Code as a supported host. These are the 15 that rank highest, ordered by adoption, freshness and documentation. GitHub, GitDiagram and Gk CLI lead the list. 15 of them have an install command written for Claude Code; the rest use the generic setup below. Claude Code reads them from ~/.claude.json (just you), or .mcp.json in the project when you add --scope project. Give an MCP server only the access it needs, and read its repository before you connect it to your data. Every listing links to its source and shows a freshness grade.

How to install in Claude Code
claude mcp add <name> -- npx -y <package> claude mcp add --transport http <name> <https://server-url>
Where it goes: ~/.claude.json (just you), or .mcp.json in the project when you add --scope project.
Put -- between the name and the server command so the command's own flags are not read as Claude's. --env takes several KEY=value pairs, so another option has to sit between the last --env and the name (the CLI otherwise reads the name as a pair). --scope user makes the server available in every project; the default scope (local) keeps it to you in this project. Run /mcp inside Claude Code, or claude mcp list, to check it is connected.
Each listing page has the exact command for that listing.
