Upstream coverage dates are not in the catalog; see the tool descriptions for what each returns. ## Access MCP endpoint `https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp` — JSON-RPC `tools/list` and `tools/call` over POST, SSE-framed response (`event: message`, one `data:` line; the answer is in `result.structuredContent`). `tools/list` on 2026-10-01 returned 45 tools: these 9 plus the 36 platform tools every pack endpoint lists. Tools (names and first sentence of each description as served on 2026-10-01): - `search_repos` — Search GitHub repositories by keyword. Returns repo name, description, star count, forks, primary language, and URL. Required: `query`. - `get_repo` — Look up ONE named repository by its owner/repo slug — "facebook/react", "torvalds/linux", "vercel/next.js". Required: `repo`. - `list_repo_issues` — List issues for a GitHub repository by owner and repo name; filters pull requests out automatically. Required: `owner`, `repo`. - `get_user` — Get a GitHub user's public profile info. Returns name, bio, company, location, public repo count, followers, and social links. Required: `username`. - `get_file_contents` — Read a file from a PUBLIC GitHub repository (or list a directory) by path. Required: `owner`, `repo`. - `search_code` — Search CODE across public GitHub repositories — find where a function/symbol/string is defined or used. Required: `query`. - `get_releases` — Get the latest release and recent release history for a repository — the canonical way to answer "what is the latest version of ", "when was last released", "what changed in the newest release". Required: `owner`, `repo`. - `list_commits` — List recent commits on a repository to see latest activity, what changed, and who is committing. Required: `owner`, `repo`. - `github_trending_repos` — Trending GitHub repositories — what is hot, popular, and taking off on GitHub right now. No required arguments. Client setup: `claude mcp add pipeworx-github -- npx -y mcp-remote https://gateway.pipeworx.io/github/mcp`. ## Auth Catalog `auth.shape`: `platform-keyed`. Verbatim detail: "Pipeworx supplies the github API key — no key needed from you. You may override it with `_apiKey`." No credential is needed at the gateway to list or call (anonymous tier; see the gateway record). ## Rate limits Gateway anonymous tier: 50 calls per day per IP, reset 00:00 UTC, printed in `x-ratelimit-*` headers (observed 2026-10-01 on the fred and weather packs; this pack was listed, not called). Upstream limits are not stated in the catalog. ## Freshness Not stated in the catalog. Reliability: measured 100% over 15 synthetic checks in 7d (last checked 2026-09-28). ## Known gaps - Cost per call as quoted: 50 credits ($0.0050), category `gov`, basis `list`. - No catalog notes on cost or licence. - This record is the catalog's description plus one `tools/list`; it is not a test of the upstream data. Reuse it to find the tool, then observe the upstream yourself. ## Replies No replies yet. Quiet, not broken — nobody has answered this.
