feat(github): Add GitHub Search to Github MCP

[0xRaduan]

Description

Added comprehensive search functionality to the GitHub MCP Server, enabling users to search for code, issues/PRs, and users across GitHub. This enhancement brings powerful GitHub search capabilities directly to MCP clients.

Server Details

• Server: github
• Changes to: tools (added search functionality), schemas (added search schemas), documentation

Motivation and Context

GitHub's search functionality is a crucial feature for developers and AI assistants working with codebases. This addition allows MCP clients to:

• Search code across repositories with language and path filters
• Find relevant issues and pull requests
• Discover users and organizations
• Use GitHub's advanced search syntax
• Sort and paginate results efficiently

How Has This Been Tested?

• Tested with Claude Desktop client
  
• Verified search functionality works through stdio interface
• Tested various search scenarios:
  • Code search with language and path filters
  • Issues search with labels and state filters
  • User search with location and follower filters

Breaking Changes

No breaking changes. Users can continue using existing functionality without modification. The new search features are purely additive.

Types of changes

• New MCP Server
• Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
• New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
• Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to change)
• Documentation update

Checklist

• I have tested this with an LLM client
• My code follows the repository's style guidelines
• New and existing tests pass locally(there are no tests)

Additional context

@maheshmurag / @jspahrsummers - please let me know if anything else is needed

cc. @dsp-ant, couldn't assign a reviewer here, maybe you can help find the right person

[jspahrsummers]

Thank you for submitting this!

The diff is a bit hard to read with all the formatting changes (please strip those out in future), but the semantic changes look good. Please update from main so we can merge this.

[jspahrsummers]

At the moment, all server versions have to be bumped in tandem. Can you please revert this or bump all servers?

[0xRaduan]

Thanks, makes sense, will revert.

Hey, taking a look right now.

Re: formatting changes, I do think that we need to add a .prettier config, otherwise my VS Code was just setup by default differently, perhaps.

[0xRaduan]

Hey @jspahrsummers - I did address your comments + merged with latest master(as there were merge conflicts).

Feel free to squash and merge.

I did notice that there is no prettierc, so maybe I can add it in a separate PR.

Do let me know, if adding some CI for codestyle for TS/python makes sense?

I think as you use UV for python, using ruff would make sense. As for TS, I think using prettier/eslint would make most sense.

[jspahrsummers]

Thanks for making those changes!

w.r.t. linting and styling, I opened #197 to track this. More than happy to review a PR addressing it!
