The GitHub plugin connects Claude Code directly to GitHub's platform through the official GitHub MCP server. Manage repositories, issues, pull requests, and workflows without leaving your development environment. Browse code, analyze commits, and understand project structure across all your accessible repositories.

Key capabilities include creating and updating issues and pull requests, reviewing code with AI assistance, monitoring GitHub Actions workflows, analyzing build failures, and managing releases. The plugin also provides security features like examining code scanning findings and reviewing Dependabot alerts.

How to use: After connecting your GitHub account, interact naturally with your repositories. Try prompts like "Create an issue for the login bug in my-app repo", "Review the latest PR on my project", "Show me failed GitHub Actions runs", "Search for repositories about machine learning", or "List open issues assigned to me". The plugin handles authentication and API calls automatically.
