GitHub MCP Project Setup

This skill sets up per-project GitHub MCP configuration, keeping your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) isolated to specific projects rather than granting global access.

When to Use

Use this skill when:

• You need to access GitHub (PRs, issues, repo content) from Claude Code
• The project doesn't have GitHub MCP configured yet
• You want to avoid using a global GitHub PAT

Security Notice

CRITICAL: Claude must NEVER read files that may contain tokens.

• Never read .mcp.json after the user has added their token
• Never read .env files or any files that might contain secrets
• The user is responsible for adding their token directly to the file
