About this plugin

The plugin connects Claude Code to GitHub through an MCP server, allowing the agent to manage repositories, create and update issues, work with pull requests, review code, search repositories, and interact with GitHub's API.

Reach for it when you want Claude Code to carry out GitHub repository tasks directly rather than preparing commands for you to run. It installs one MCP server and does not add skills, slash commands, subagents, or hooks.
