Use `npm run watch` to rebuild on changes.\n\nYou will need a GitHub token with the correct scopes. Here is a direct link to [create such a new token](https://github.com/settings/tokens/new?scopes=repo,read:org,read:user,user:email\u0026description=tiger-gh-mcp-server).\n\nCreate a `.env` file based on the `.env.sample` file.\n\n```bash\ncp .env.sample .env\n```\n\nThen update the `GITHUB_TOKEN` value in `.env`.\n\n### VS Code Debugging\n\nThe project includes a VS Code debug profile called \"Debug Github MCP\" that:\n1. Installs dependencies (`npm i`)\n2. Builds the project (`npm run build`)\n3. Launches the server in HTTP mode with full debugging support\n\nTo use it:\n- Open the project in VS Code\n- Go to the Debug panel (Ctrl/Cmd + Shift + D)\n- Select \"Debug Github MCP\" from the dropdown\n- Press F5 or click the play button\n\nBreakpoints will work properly in TypeScript source files thanks to source map support.\n\n### Testing\n\nThe MCP Inspector is a very handy to exercise the MCP server from a web-based UI.\n\n```bash\nnpx @modelcontextprotocol/inspector\n```\n\n| Field          | Value           |\n| -------------- | --------------- |\n| Transport Type | `STDIO`         |\n| Command        | `node`          |\n| Arguments      | `dist/index.js` |\n\n#### Testing in Claude Desktop\n\nCreate/edit the file `~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json` to add an entry like the following, making sure to use the absolute path to your local `tiger-gh-mcp-server` project, and use a valid GitHub token.\n\n```json\n{\n  \"mcpServers\": {\n    \"tiger-gh\": {\n      \"command\": \"node\",\n      \"args\": [\"/absolute/path/to/tiger-gh-mcp-server/dist/index.js\", \"stdio\"],\n      \"env\": {\n        \"GITHUB_TOKEN\": \"ghp_whatever\",\n        \"GITHUB_ORG\": \"timescale\"\n      }\n    }\n  }\n}\n```\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimescale%2Ftiger-gh-mcp-server","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Ftimescale%2Ftiger-gh-mcp-server","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Ftimescale%2Ftiger-gh-mcp-server/lists"}
