Connect AI agents to the GitHub MCP server

Vendor MCP

The GitHub MCP connector routes your AI agent's tool calls to GitHub's own MCP server through Scalekit. Each user signs in to GitHub once, and Scalekit stores and refreshes their tokens, so your agent never handles credentials. It comes with 46 tools.

Tools: 46
What they doRead · write · destructive: 27 · 18 · 127 read18 write1 destructive
Users sign in with: OAuth
OAuth app: Scalekit's or your own

What you can do

Manage issues: create, update, comment on, and search issues, including sub-issues
Work with pull requests: open, update, review, merge, and search pull requests and their comments
Edit repository files: read, create, update, and delete files, and push multiple files in one commit
Manage repositories and branches: create or fork repositories, create branches, and list commits, tags, and releases
Search code and people: search code, commits, repositories, and users across GitHub
Scan for secrets: check files or content for exposed API keys, passwords, and tokens

Setup

Install the SDK
- Node.js
- Python
Terminal window
npm install @scalekit-sdk/node dotenv
Terminal window
pip install scalekit-sdk-python python-dotenv
Set your credentials
Add your Scalekit credentials to your .env file. Find values in app.scalekit.com > Developers > API Credentials.
.env
```
SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL=<your-environment-url>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_ID=<your-client-id>
SCALEKIT_CLIENT_SECRET=<your-client-secret>
```
Create the GitHub MCP connection
In AgentKit > Connections, create a GitHub MCP connection. The name you give it is the connection_name your code passes. See Configure connections.
Scalekit credentials are available for GitHub, so you don't need to register an OAuth app. To show your own app on the consent screen, use your own credentials instead.
Use your own OAuth app
Register your GitHub credentials with Scalekit so it handles the token lifecycle. You do this once per environment.
1. Set up auth redirects
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections > Create Connection. Find GitHub MCP and click Create.
  - Click Use your own credentials and copy the redirect URI. It looks like https://<SCALEKIT_ENVIRONMENT_URL>/sso/v1/oauth/<CONNECTION_ID>/callback.
  - Go to GitHub Developer Settings and open your OAuth app.
  - Under General, paste the copied URI into the Authorization callback URL field and click Save application.
2. Get client credentials
  
  In GitHub Developer Settings, open your OAuth app:
  - Client ID — listed on the app’s main settings page
  - Client Secret — click Generate a new client secret if you don’t have one
3. Add credentials in Scalekit
  - In Scalekit dashboard, go to AgentKit > Connections and open the connection you created.
  - Enter your credentials:
    
    Client ID (from your GitHub OAuth app)
    
    Client Secret (from your GitHub OAuth app)
  - Click Save.
