Setting up with Highlight
This MCP is not yet compatible with Highlight’s one-click setup. However, you can still use it with Highlight by following these steps:
- Download and install Highlight from highlightai.com/download
- Navigate to the plugins tab and select "Add Custom Plugin"
-
Configure the plugin with the settings below
Plugin Name
Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server for GitHub using Claude DesktopCommand (node, npx, python, etc.)Please refer to the README for specific instructions on how to obtain API keys or other required environment variables.
- Enable "Start Automatically" if you want the plugin to start when Highlight launches
From the repository
Add the server configuration to claude_desktop_config.json with the command python3.11 and an argument pointing to main.py. Install the required Python packages (fastmcp, httpx, requests, urllib3, mcp, typing). Optionally set a GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable for higher API rate limits. Claude Desktop runs the server automatically.
