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

Compared with every active server in this category in the registry. Stars count only when the publisher owns the repo.
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.
The registry does not list a required key, though some servers ask you to sign in on first use.
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).
The GitHub repo last changed –, and the latest version (0.1.0) reached the registry 4 days ago.

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).
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
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.
