A side-by-side look at the Gha Intel and Github Repo MCP MCP servers: transport, auth, tools, quality signals, and the config to install either one in Claude, Cursor, Windsurf or VS Code.
Verdict: choose Gha Intel for version control work as a local process; choose Github Repo MCP for version control as a local process. You can also run both side by side in one mcpServers block.

list_workflow_performanceFetch the last N workflow runs and compute job-level timing statistics (avg, min, max, p95) across those runs. Useful for identifying slow jobs and trends.analyze_workflow_configParse a GitHub Actions workflow YAML (provided as a string) and identify optimization opportunities: missing caches, matrix strategy, concurrency controls, slow dependency installs, artifact handling, and more.get_billing_usageRetrieve GitHub Actions billing and cache usage statistics for an owner (user or org), optionally scoped to a specific repository.No tool names declared yet. Check the project README from the listing page.
Paste either block (or both) into your client config, e.g. claude_desktop_config.json or ~/.cursor/mcp.json. We only show a config when the install command is confirmed.
