## What it does

This plugin connects the official GitHub MCP server to Claude Code. The assistant gains direct access to GitHub's full API, searches repositories, and creates issues.

Pull request management and code reviews move straight into the terminal session. Claude Code handles the API calls directly, eliminating the need to inspect diffs in a browser.
