Overview

Description from the maker (original English)

Forward GitHub tools to the hosted GitHub Copilot remote MCP endpoint.

PopNx MCP’s three pillars

These three are never merged into one score: opinions, measurements and popularity are different things.

What you can do with it

We have not written a plain-language summary for this one yet. Below are the facts we read from the registry.

  • Connection: Runs on your computer
  • Transport: stdio
  • Category: Developer tools

Install

Pick the AI app you use, then copy the settings.

Before you install

  • Basic checks: 1 of 1 passed
  • Runs on your computer with your user’s permissions (files, network, apps).
  • The registry lists no key to fill in.

You need

  • npmNode.js installed (for the npx command)

Which app do you use?

Pick your app above. We remember it, so next time the button says “Install in …”.

Open Claude Desktop → Settings → Developer → Edit Config, and paste this into claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codehost-remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/codehost-remote",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Run this in your terminal

claude mcp add codehost-remote -- npx -y @reneturcios/codehost-remote mcp

Open in Cursor

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .cursor/mcp.json in your project, or ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "codehost-remote": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/codehost-remote",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

Open in VS Code

Or copy the settings yourself

Paste into .vscode/mcp.json in your project

{
  "servers": {
    "codehost-remote": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@reneturcios/codehost-remote",
        "mcp"
      ]
    }
  }
}

Your browser asks to open the app, then the app shows the settings and asks you to confirm. Key values are left empty for you to fill in.

This one runs on your computer, and ChatGPT can only connect to servers on the internet. Pick another app.

These settings are generated from the maker’s registry entry. If the README says otherwise, follow the README.

What it can do

Runs on your computer; the tool list appears in your AI app after you install it.

Common questions

Is Codehost Remote safe?

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.

What keys or codes does it need?

The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.

Does it run on my computer or in the cloud?

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).

Is it still maintained?

The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 days ago.

Which apps can use it?

Apps that support MCP, such as Claude Desktop, Claude Code, Cursor and VS Code. You also need Node.js, Docker on your computer.

What can I use instead?

In the same category: GitHub, Desktop Commander, Cloudflare MCP

codehost-remote

codehost-remote gives you the familiar GitHub tool surface — repositories, branches, files, search, issues and pull requests — without a local REST client. Every call is forwarded as a JSON-RPC tools/call to GitHub's hosted remote MCP endpoint at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/, and the hosted answer, whether plain JSON or a streamed SSE response, is what you get back.

That makes it the lightweight option: no GitHub API versioning to track locally, and the hosted service does the work. The trade-off is that you depend on the hosted endpoint's availability and behaviour.

Only a core subset is exposed here: 14 tools. The hosted endpoint actually serves a much larger, dynamic set of toolsets (40+ tools); this package deliberately pins the repos / issues / pull-requests core and never claims the full hosted surface.

Set GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN; it is sent as a Bearer token. GITHUB_REMOTE_MCP_URL overrides the endpoint (useful for testing).

Install

npx @reneturcios/codehost-remote get_issue '{"owner":"octocat","repo":"hello-world","issue_number":1}'

docker run -i -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/cloudcorprecords/codehost-remote

CLI

Every tool is a subcommand taking one JSON argument object:

codehost-remote search_repositories '{"query":"mcp language:typescript"}'

codehost-remote create_issue '{"owner":"me","repo":"proj","title":"Bug: startup crash"}' codehost-remote --version

Exit codes: 0 success, 1 error, 2 usage error.

MCP server

npx -y @reneturcios/codehost-remote mcp
{

"mcpServers": { "codehost-remote": { "command": "npx", "args": ["-y", "@reneturcios/codehost-remote", "mcp"], "env": { "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your-token" } } } }

Tools

create_repository, fork_repository, create_branch, get_file_contents, create_or_update_file, push_files, search_repositories, search_code, list_issues, get_issue, create_issue, add_issue_comment, list_pull_requests, create_pull_request.

A missing token is reported as a tool error naming GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN.

Development

npm install

npm run build npm test

Tests run entirely on fake-fetch fixtures, including plain-JSON and SSE upstream bodies; no network is used.
