GitHub MCP Server 0.3.0

Main features

Tool Annotations

With user friendly labels, and read-only hints MCP host applications can show improved UI, and allow you to call read-only tools without needing confirmation. Check out this brief demo of the annotations support in copilot agent mode in VSCode and notice how it doesn't ask for confirmation when listing issues, but it does before creating an issue:
