Getting Started
Prerequisites
- Node.js 18 or higher
- Access to a GitHub Enterprise instance
- Personal Access Token (PAT)
Docker Installation and Setup
Option 1: Running with Docker
1. Build the Docker image:
docker build -t github-enterprise-mcp .
2. Run the Docker container with environment variables:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
-e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \
-e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \
-e DEBUG=true \
github-enterprise-mcp
> Note: The Dockerfile is configured to run with --transport http by default. If you need to change this, you can override the command:
docker run -p 3000:3000 \
-e GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token" \
-e GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3" \
-e DEBUG=true \
github-enterprise-mcp node dist/index.js --transport http --debug
Option 2: Using Docker Compose
1. Create a .env file in the project root with the required environment variables:
GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL=https://github.your-company.com/api/v3
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token
DEBUG=true
2. Start the container with Docker Compose:
docker-compose up -d
3. Check the logs:
docker-compose logs -f
4. Stop the container:
docker-compose down
Installation and Setup
Local Development (Using Concurrent Mode)
This method is recommended for active development with automatic recompilation and server restarts:
1. Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git
cd github-enterprise-mcp
npm install
2. Run the development server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
npm run dev
This will:
- Compile TypeScript code automatically when files change
- Restart the server when compiled files are updated
- Run the server in HTTP mode for URL-based connections
3. Connect to Cursor using URL mode as described below
Installation and Setup for Production
Option 1: Using URL Mode (Recommended for Local Development)
This method is the most stable and recommended for local development or testing:
1. Clone the repository and install required packages:
git clone https://github.com/ddukbg/github-enterprise-mcp.git
cd github-enterprise-mcp
npm install
2. Build the project:
npm run build
chmod +x dist/index.js
3. Run the server:
export GITHUB_TOKEN="your_github_token"
export GITHUB_ENTERPRISE_URL="https://github.your-company.com/api/v3"
node dist/index.js --transport http --debug
4. Connect to Cursor using URL mode:
- Add the following to your Cursor's .cursor/mcp.json file:
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-enterprise": {
"url": "http://localhost:3000/sse"
}
}
}
Option 2: Install as a Global Command (npm link)
This method is useful for local development:
```bash
