Notedigit and the GitHub MCP server
GitHub’s official MCP server lets assistants work with GitHub itself: browse code, read files, manage issues and pull requests, and automate workflows, using your GitHub sign-in or token. Notedigit is narrower on purpose: it serves the Markdown in one repository, read-only, from any git host.

When GitHub MCP server is the better choice
- You want an assistant to act on GitHub: open issues, review pull requests, work with code across repositories.
- Everything you need is on GitHub and each person already has the right access there.
When Notedigit fits
- Assistants should read a curated set of notes, not everything a person’s GitHub account can reach.
- You want a guarantee that nothing can be changed, independent of how a token was scoped.
- People who should read the notes don’t have, or shouldn’t get, accounts on your git host.
