Scan

AxioRank has not graded GitHub yet

AxioRank could not enumerate GitHub's surface (live handshake failed (HTTP 401 Unauthorized from https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/); no usable well-known card (HTTP 404 fetching https://api.githubcopilot.com/.well-known/mcp.json)). Many remote servers gate even a read-only handshake behind OAuth. This listing stays factual and updates when a scan succeeds.

How it works

About this grade

The grade reflects the blast radius of what GitHub declares it can do, read-only, not whether it is secure or trustworthy, and not a judgment of the vendor. Maintain this server? Claim this listing or request a re-scan. See the methodology.
