Tools
| Tool | Description |
|---|---|
search_repos | Search GitHub repositories by keyword. Returns repo name, description, star count, forks, primary language, and URL. Use when exploring projects or finding code implementations. |
get_repo | Look up ONE named repository by its owner/repo slug — "facebook/react", "torvalds/linux", "vercel/next.js". Use this whenever the repository is named in the question. Answers how many stars / forks / watchers a repo has, what license and language it uses, its topics, description, open issue count, and when it was last pushed. |
list_repo_issues | List issues for a GitHub repository by owner and repo name; filters pull requests out automatically. Returns issue number, title, state, labels, author, comment count, URL, and timestamps. Defaults to open issues. |
get_user | Get a GitHub user's public profile info. Returns name, bio, company, location, public repo count, followers, and social links. Specify username (e.g., username="torvalds"). |
get_file_contents | Read a file from a PUBLIC GitHub repository (or list a directory) by path. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "show me the README / package.json / of ", "read from <owner/repo>", inspecting source or config files. Pass owner + repo + path (omit path or "" for the repo root listing). Optional ref = branch/tag/commit SHA. Returns decoded text for files (capped ~60k), or a directory listing of {name, path, type, size}. |
search_code | Search CODE across public GitHub repositories — find where a function/symbol/string is defined or used. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "find code that does X", "which repos use ", "show me an example of ", "where is defined". Supports GitHub code-search qualifiers right in the query: repo:owner/name, org:name, user:name, language:go, filename:Dockerfile, path:src, extension:ts, in:file. Returns matching files with repo, path, and URL. Note: indexes the default branch only, ignores very common terms, and is capped at ~10 searches/minute. |
get_releases | Get the latest release and recent release history for a repository — the canonical way to answer "what is the latest version of ", "when was last released", "what changed in the newest release". Returns the latest published stable release (tag, name, date, prerelease flag, release notes, downloadable assets with download counts) plus recent releases. Falls back to git tags for repos that tag but do not cut formal releases. |
list_commits | List recent commits on a repository to see latest activity, what changed, and who is committing. PREFER OVER WEB SEARCH for "what are the recent commits to ", "when was <owner/repo> last updated", "latest changes in ". Optional sha (branch/tag/commit to start history from), path (only commits touching that file/dir), and since/until ISO timestamps. Returns sha, message, author, and date per commit. |
Quick Start
Add to your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, Windsurf, etc.):
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp"
}
}
}
Or connect to the full Pipeworx gateway for access to all 1394+ data sources:
{
"mcpServers": {
"pipeworx": {
"url": "https://gateway.pipeworx.io/mcp"
}
}
}
Using with ask_pipeworx
Instead of calling tools directly, you can ask questions in plain English:
ask_pipeworx({ question: "your question about Github data" })
The gateway picks the right tool and fills the arguments automatically.
