DE//AGENT currently lists 2 resources under github: 1 tutorial, 1 mcp server. Everything below is derived from the live registry — counts, capabilities, verification state and security posture come from the curated records, never from marketing copy.

Documented learning objectives across these resources:

• Configure the filesystem, git and GitHub MCP servers — via Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo
• Scope each server to the minimum it needs — via Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo
• Know what each server can and cannot do — via Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo

These resources map to stage: Agentic Data Engineering (2). Follow the four-phase roadmap to place this topic inside a progression instead of learning it in isolation.

Every entry, its shape and its trust state — sorted by the registry's composite score. This table is the honest version of a marketing comparison: no sponsored placements, no unverifiable claims.

How scores are computed: source quality score.

Highest composite score first:

1. GitHub MCP Server score 41.1 — beginner
2. Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo score 34.15 — beginner

Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.

Start here if you're new: GitHub MCP Server, Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo.

Security-flagged entries: GitHub MCP Server (3 flags). Flags mean the record declares capabilities like credential use or write access — read the security posture on each page before connecting.

• GitHub MCP Server — First-party GitHub server exposing repositories, issues, pull requests and code search, plus optional write operations. details
• Wire the core MCP servers for a data repo — Wire the three reference MCP servers a data repo needs: filesystem for the working directory, git for history and commits, and GitHub for issues and pull requests. Each connection … details

Real install commands from the registry — read the source before running any of them:

docker run -i --rm -e GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN ghcr.io/github/github-mcp-server

GitHub MCP Server — review first
