Installation

Recommended Installation: Using npx

The simplest way to install and use is via the npx command in your Claude Desktop configuration file without manual local installation:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-action-trigger-mcp": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": [
        "-y",
        "@nextdrive/github-action-trigger-mcp"
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Benefits of this method:
- No local package installation required
- Automatically uses the latest version
- Set up once and ready to use
- Built-in GitHub token configuration

Local Installation

If you prefer to install manually, follow these steps:

1. Install the package:

npm install -g @nextdrive/github-action-trigger-mcp

2. Use in Claude Desktop configuration:

On MacOS: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
On Windows: %APPDATA%/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github-action-trigger-mcp": {
      "command": "@nextdrive/github-action-trigger-mcp",
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

GitHub Token Configuration

To access the GitHub API, especially for private repositories or workflow triggers, you need to configure a GitHub personal access token. There are several ways to do this:

Method 1 (Recommended): Direct Configuration in Claude Desktop

Set the token directly in the Claude Desktop configuration file via the env field:

"env": {
  "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here"
}

Method 2: Global Environment Variable

Set the GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable:

```bash
