# GitHub MCP Server

## GitHub MCP vs gh CLI

| Ozellik | GitHub MCP | gh CLI |
|---------|-----------|--------|
| Kurulum | MCP server config | brew install gh |
| Auth | PAT token (MCP env) | gh auth login (interactive) |
| Kullanim | Tool call (agent icinden) | Bash komutu |
| Rate limit | REST API limit (5000/h) | Ayni |
| Avantaj | Agent workflow icinde seamless | Terminal scripting |
| Dezavantaj | MCP server calisir olmali | Agent context'ten cikmak lazim |

### Ne Zaman Hangisi

```
GitHub MCP kullan:
  - Agent workflow icinde GitHub islemleri gerektiginde
  - Birden fazla API call zincirlenecekse
  - Structured data response lazimsa

gh CLI kullan:
  - Tek seferlik terminal islemleri
  - PR olusturma/merge (interaktif)
  - Git hook'lari icinde
  - Script/otomasyon icinde
```

## MCP Server Kurulumu

### 1. GitHub PAT Token Olustur

```
GitHub Settings > Developer Settings > Personal Access Tokens > Fine-grained
Gerekli permission'lar:
  - Repository: Read/Write
  - Issues: Read/Write
  - Pull Requests: Read/Write
  - Actions: Read/Write (workflow tetikleme)
  - Webhooks: Read/Write (webhook yonetimi)
  - Organization: Read (org API)
```

### 2. MCP Config (~/.mcp.json)

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<PAT_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

### 3. Alternatif: Docker ile

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "command": "docker",
      "args": ["run", "-i", "--rm", "-e", "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN", "ghcr.io/modelcontextprotocol/server-github"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<PAT_TOKEN>"
      }
    }
  }
}
```

## Repository Yonetimi

## Webhook Yonetimi

### Webhook Olusturma

  owner: "username",
  repo: "repo-name",
  config: {
    url: "https://my-server.com/webhook",
    content_type: "json",

})
```

### Team Listeleme

```
mcp_github.list_teams({
  org: "my-organization"

})
```

### Org Repo'lari

```
mcp_github.list_org_repos({
  org: "my-organization",
  type: "all",
  sort: "updated"
})
```

## Rate Limiting

### Limitler

| Auth Tipi | Limit | Reset |
|-----------|-------|-------|
| PAT (authenticated) | 5000 req/h | 1 saat |
| Unauthenticated | 60 req/h | 1 saat |
| Search API | 30 req/min | 1 dakika |
| GraphQL | 5000 points/h | 1 saat |

### Rate Limit Kontrol

```
mcp_github.get_rate_limit()
// Response: { limit, remaining, reset_at }
```

### Best Practices

```
1. Conditional requests (If-None-Match header) kullan
2. Pagination ile kucuk sayfalarda cek (per_page: 30)
3. Search API'yi 30 req/min altinda tut
4. 403 + "rate limit exceeded" alirsan reset_at kadar bekle
5. Webhook kullan (polling yerine event-driven)
6. GraphQL kullan (birden fazla REST call yerine tek query)
```

## Workflow Ornekleri

### Yeni Feature Workflow

```
1. Issue olustur (task tanimla)
2. Branch olustur (feature/X)
3. Kod yaz, commit et
4. PR olustur (issue'ya referans ver)
5. Review iste
6. Merge et (squash)
7. Release olustur (tag ile)
```

### Bug Fix Workflow

```
1. Issue olustur (bug raporu)
2. Branch olustur (fix/X)
3. Fix yaz, test ekle
4. PR olustur (Fixes #issue-number)
5. CI gectigini dogrula
6. Merge et
7. Issue otomatik kapanir
```

### CI/CD Tetikleme

```
1. Push event -> CI workflow calisir
2. PR event -> Test + lint + security scan
3. Release event -> Deploy workflow calisir
4. Workflow dispatch -> Manuel deploy
```

## Anti-Patterns

| Anti-Pattern | Dogru Yol |
|-------------|-----------|
| PAT'i koda gomme | .env veya MCP config env |
| Tum permission'lari ver | Minimum gerekli scope |
| Polling ile status kontrol | Webhook kullan |
| Buyuk sayfa boyutu (100+) | per_page: 30, pagination |
| Rate limit'i yoksay | get_rate_limit ile kontrol |
| Force push main'e | Branch protection + PR |
