Update the repo description, tags and website
Github Meta MCP server is a locally run integration for AI assistants that speak the Model Context Protocol. Update the repo description, tags and website.
An MCP server that lets Claude (or any MCP-compatible client) create and configure GitHub repositories from plain-English commands.
Once Github Meta is connected, these are the calls the assistant has available:
create_repo — Create or update a GitHub repository via natural language. Handles:You will need one environment variable: GITHUB_TOKEN. The server will not start without them, which is usually why the tools fail to appear on a first run. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than in a file you might commit.
Installation goes through your MCP client rather than a global install: point it at npm on npm and it is fetched when the client starts. The copy-paste blocks for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are further down this page.
This sits in the developer tooling group, where several servers overlap in what they claim to do but differ sharply once you actually set them up. Github Meta's toolset — create_repo — is a fair guide to whether it matches your workflow. It is maintained by PoliTwit1984; worth a glance at recent repository activity before you build anything load-bearing on it.
