? Introduction
In this guide, I’ll walk you through how I used Docker Desktop, the MCP Toolkit extension, and Claude Desktop to connect to GitHub and automate tasks like:
We’ll set up everything step-by-step so you can follow this like a playbook and get the same results.
Prerequisites
Before we begin, make sure you have the following installed:
? Step 1: Open Docker Desktop and Navigate to Extensions
? Step 2: Install MCP Toolkit Extension
? Step 3: Enable GitHub as MCP Server
Open Claude’s interface and type:
create a repo called yt-demo-github-mcp in my github account
You’ll see a confirmation from Claude that the repository is created.
? Step 6: Create Multiple Branches
Prompt:
can you create 3 branches dev, qe, prod and list all the available branches?
Claude will confirm branch creation.
? Step 7: Open a Pull Request
Prompt:
can you create a file called tes.py with hello worls code in Python and raise Pull request from Dev to QE, QE to Prod and Prod to main?
Claude opens the PR instantly, no GitHub UI involved.
? What Else Can You Do?
The GitHub MCP Server supports over 48 different GitHub features — from repository settings to contributor roles, issues, PR reviews, and more.
