Grok GitHub create_issue
How to: Grok GitHub create_issue
Add GitHub to Grok
-
01
Open .mcp.json (in your project root) and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.
{
"mcpServers": {
"github-mcp-server": {
"type": "http",
"url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
}
}
}-
02
Save the file and restart Grok.
-
03
Ask for something create_issue does. Grok lists the server's tools on connect and calls create_issue itself — you do not invoke it by name.
-
04
If nothing happens, check the server is running and that GitHub's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.
Grok Build reads Claude Code's .mcp.json and Claude Desktop's config unchanged, so a server you have already set up there needs nothing new. The Grok web app and X integration do not take custom servers. Grok docs
Same tool, other clients
Mutating and Read-only are read off each tool's name, not its schema — a hint, not a guarantee. The registry stores tool names only; connect the server for its live schemas.
