GitHub’s official server lets AI read and manage code, issues and pull requests in your account. Use GitHub’s hosted version or run it locally with Docker.
Description from the maker (original English)
All-in-one MCP server: GitHub, Git, Slack, web fetch, memory, and filesystem. Agent Mode opt-in.
These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.
We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.
Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.
GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN, OMNI_AGENT_MODEValues marked secret are keys to your account. Never share them or paste them into a chat.

It passed 1 of 1 applicable basic checks. We have not read the code. Before adding a key or token, see what access the server asks for and use a key with only the permissions you need.
You need to fill in: GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN, SLACK_BOT_TOKEN
It runs on your computer. Your AI app starts it when needed, and data does not pass through the maker’s servers (unless it calls an online service itself).

One MCP server instead of six. GitHub, local Git, Slack, web fetching, persistent memory, and filesystem tools — 15 tools in a single config entry, with dangerous capabilities off by default.
Setting up MCP usually means installing and configuring a separate server for every capability — one for GitHub, one for filesystem, one for memory, one for fetch. Each has its own config block, its own runtime, its own startup cost.
Omni bundles the everyday developer tools into one server, one config entry, one `npx` command:
| You'd normally install… | With Omni |
|---|---|
server-github | ✅ built in |
server-filesystem | ✅ built in |
server-memory | ✅ built in |
server-fetch | ✅ built in |
| a git server | ✅ built in |
| a Slack server | ✅ built in |
npx.npx -y @bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest setup
The wizard asks for your optional tokens (GitHub, Slack), asks whether to enable Agent Mode, and updates your Claude Desktop config for you. Restart Claude Desktop and you're done.
claude mcp add omni -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN=your_gh_token -- npx -y @bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest
Add this to your client's MCP config (e.g. claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": { "omni": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@bitofacoder/omni-mcp-server@latest"], "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_gh_token", "SLACK_BOT_TOKEN": "your_slack_token" } } } }
All env vars are optional — tools that need a missing token simply tell you so.
| Group | Tool | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| 🐙 GitHub | github_search_repos | Search GitHub repositories |
github_get_issue | Get details of a specific issue | |
| 🌳 Local Git | git_status | Working tree + staging area status |
git_diff | View local code changes | |
git_log | View commit history | |
git_commit | Commit staged changes with a message | |
| 💻 System | system_read_file | Read a local file |
system_list_dir | List a directory | |
system_write_file | ⚠️ Write a file *(Agent Mode only)* | |
system_execute_command | ⚠️ Run a shell command *(Agent Mode only)* | |
| 🌐 Web | web_fetch | Fetch any public URL as clean Markdown — no API key needed |
| 🧠 Memory | memory_store | Save a note/preference across chats |
memory_retrieve | Retrieve a saved memory | |
memory_list | List everything remembered | |
| 💬 Slack | slack_send_message | Send a message to a Slack channel |
system_execute_command and system_write_file let the AI act on your machine — run tests, install packages, edit files. Because that's real power, they are disabled by default and don't even appear in the tool list until you enable them:
"env": {
"OMNI_AGENT_MODE": "true" }
Everything else (reading files, git status, web fetch, memory) is read-only or sandboxed to its own data file.
PRs welcome — especially new integrations (Linear, Notion, Jira, Discord) and Agent Mode hardening (allowlists, working-dir scoping). Open an issue first for bigger changes.
If Omni saved you some config wrangling, a ⭐ helps other people find it.
