install GitHub on Cursor

Requires the runtime declared in the upstream repo — check the README before running. Cursor reloads its MCP servers automatically the moment the file is saved — no restart needed. Paste the config below, then follow the reload step to register GitHub.

paste into
global: ~/.cursor/mcp.json
project: .cursor/mcp.json (commit alongside your repo)
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github": {
      "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/"
    }
  }
}
then: No restart needed — Cursor picks up the change automatically.
