Model Context Protocol server for GitHub integration
Workiva igam mcp server lets Claude, Cursor and other MCP clients work with Workiva Igam directly. Model Context Protocol server for GitHub integration.
This workspace contains both a GitHub MCP Server for GitHub integration and Python scripts for Workiva Identity, Governance, and Access Management (IGAM) reporting.
Once connected, the assistant can call these 2 tools directly:
Contributing — 1. Follow the coding guidelines in .github/copilot-instructions.md 2. Use TypeScript for all code 3. Implement proper error handling for new tools 4. AddTesting — The Testing tool exposed by this serverThe server is distributed via PyPI as requests, so most clients can run it without a manual build step. Add it to your MCP client's configuration and restart the client to pick it up — the copy-paste configs for Claude Desktop, Claude Code and Cursor are on this page.
Before the server will start you need to supply one environment variable: GITHUB_TOKEN. Keep credentials in your client's env block or a secrets manager rather than committing them.
Developer-tool servers are usually the first ones people connect, because they turn "help me with this code" into an assistant that can actually read the repo and act on it. Workiva Igam sits in that group, and the shape of its toolset — Contributing, Testing — tells you what it is really for. Worth comparing against the other developer tools servers in this directory before you commit to one, since several overlap in scope but differ sharply in setup cost and permissions.
