Add the following to your MCP config file (~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json):
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@kazuph/mcp-github-pera1"]
}
}
}
Now you can ask Claude about GitHub code repositories.

Tell me about the implementation of GitHub repository https://github.com/username/repository
For specific directories:
Explain the components in https://github.com/username/repository?dir=src/components
For a specific file:
Show me the Button component from https://github.com/username/repository?file=src/components/Button.tsx
For directory structure with README files only:
Show me the structure of https://github.com/username/repository?mode=tree

💡 Pro Tips
Architecture
MCP server handles HTTP requests, HTML parsing, JavaScript rendering (if headless browser), and returns structured data to Claude.
Protocols
Compatibility
✓ Use when
Use for research automation, content monitoring, data aggregation from multiple sources, and when official APIs don't exist. Best for read-only information gathering.
✗ Avoid when
Avoid for sites with APIs (use API instead), sites that explicitly forbid scraping, when data is copyrighted, or for login-required content without proper authorization.
