How to: Claude.ai GitHub list_issues

client:Claude.ai transport:streamable-http tool:list_issues

Add GitHub to Claude.ai

  1. 01

    Open Settings → Connectors → Add custom connector and merge this in. Keep any servers already there.

https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/
  1. 02

    Save the file and restart Claude.ai.

  2. 03

    Ask for something list_issues does. Claude.ai lists the server's tools on connect and calls list_issues itself — you do not invoke it by name.

  3. 04

    If nothing happens, check the server is running and that GitHub's identifier in your config matches the one above exactly.

Claude on the web takes a remote URL and completes OAuth in the browser. For a packaged server use Claude Desktop or Claude Code instead. Claude.ai 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.
