How do I install the gfi mcp server?

This profile does not contain a verified copy-paste launch configuration. Follow the current project documentation to confirm the runtime, entry point, transport and authentication before registering it in your client.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `GITHUB_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

What is the Gfi MCP Server?

Finds open source issues where beginners actually succeed, ranked by a 0-100 beginner score.

What you get

Most "good first issue" finders are glorified GitHub search wrappers. They happily hand you issues from abandoned repos, issues already claimed by three other contributors, and issues maintainers will never review.

Configuration and credentials

| | | |---|---| | Python | 3.12+ | | Package manager | uv (all commands go through uv) | | Auth | Optional — works without a token at 60 req/h; a PAT with public_repo scope (read-only) raises it to 5,000 req/h | ---
