dsh-github-mcp-hint

Once you have wired up GitHub MCP in DSH, the sheer number of mcp__github__* tools can be overwhelming, and there are few intuitive ways to check your own repository activity at a glance. dsh-github-mcp-hint is a panel-plus-tool plugin built exactly for that gap.

The GitHub MCP settings page offers a public-repo section that calls the GitHub public API directly from the browser—no token required—showing stars, forks, and language for each public repository with clickable links. Beside it sits a pool of 30 ready-made MCP prompt examples; each page load picks 4 at random, a click on Shuffle reshuffles, and clicking any example copies it to the clipboard for instant use. When you need deeper metrics, simply ask in chat and the model invokes the host-side gh_repo_stats tool, which concurrently fetches stars, forks, and 14-day clone counts across all repositories including private ones, capping the list at 30 to stay within rate limits. gh_current_user lets you instantly confirm which GitHub account the current token maps to.

This split of public API in the panel and authenticated tools in chat keeps the token entirely on the Node host side, never exposed to the browser, balancing convenience with security. It is a good fit for developers who have already connected GitHub MCP in DSH and want a low-friction on-ramp to the toolset along with a quick pulse on their repository activity.
