Commands (2)
An MCP server publishes no fixed command set: list-tools and
call-tool are the protocol plumbing, and the tools they reach are
discovered from the remote server when the instance connects. The pack cannot name them ahead of time, so
neither can this page.
-
call-toolCalls a specific tool on the GitHub MCP server with optional input parameters.
-
list-toolsRetrieves a list of available tools in the GitHub MCP server.

If no toolsets are selected, GitHub's default toolsets 'context', 'repos', 'issues', 'pull_requests', and 'users' will be enabled. For detailed documentation on available toolsets, refer to: [GitHub MCP Tools](https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server?tab=readme-ov-file#tools) * **Enable Read-Only Tools**: When enabled, the integration will only use read-only tools, preventing any write operations to GitHub.
