github-to-mcp

Overview

GitHub to MCP bridges the gap between code repositories and AI assistants by automatically generating MCP servers. It analyzes GitHub repositories, detects APIs and code patterns, then creates TypeScript or Python MCP servers that expose tools for AI assistants to interact with the codebase. The tool supports multiple input formats including OpenAPI/Swagger specifications, GraphQL schemas, and various programming languages.
