The optional model step picks a cloud provider from whichever API key is set, and community naming can fall back to the `claude` CLI, so `GRAPHIFY_BACKEND=none` is needed to keep everything on the machine.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### GitHub MCP Server\n\n1. Connect to `https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/x/\u003ctoolset\u003e/readonly` for read tasks; write tools are absent rather than discouraged\n2. Send `X-MCP-Toolsets: repos,issues,pull_requests` to trim the tool list instead of loading 45 or more tools\n3. Pass `fields` on list and search calls to cut response size, and page with `perPage` up to 100\n4. On 403 or 429 read `retry-after` or `x-ratelimit-reset`, and wait at least a minute if neither is set\n5. Expect an elicitation prompt from `delete_repository`; a client without elicitation can't delete\n\n### Graphify\n\n1. Install `graphifyy` with two y's; other `graphify*` packages on PyPI are not the project's\n2. Set `GRAPHIFY_BACKEND=none` or use `--code-only` when no source or doc text may leave the machine\n3. Pass an absolute path to graph.json in the MCP config, and run `graph_stats` first to check the graph loaded\n4. Set `GRAPHIFY_API_KEY` before binding the HTTP server to 0.0.0.0; it only warns when no key is set\n5. Run 0.9.70 or later before indexing an untrusted repository, because earlier versions carry the Fortran file-read advisory\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, GitHub MCP Server or Graphify?\n\nGitHub MCP Server scores 70.3 (BB) on agent readiness against Graphify's 69 (B), and leads in 5 of 7 scored categories. Graphify leads on payments \u0026 pricing.\n\n### Do GitHub MCP Server and Graphify need an API key?\n\nGitHub MCP Server takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in. Graphify needs no key.\n\n### Can an agent call GitHub MCP Server and Graphify without installing anything?\n\nGitHub MCP Server has a hosted endpoint at https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/. Graphify runs on your own machine, with no hosted endpoint listed.\n\n### Are GitHub MCP Server and Graphify open source?\n\nYes. GitHub MCP Server is open source (MIT). Graphify is open source (Apache-2.0 since 0.9.25 of 22 July 2026. Contributions made before then remain available under MIT, with the original text kept in LICENSE-MIT and referenced from NOTICE).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/github-mcp-server-vs-graphify.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/github-mcp-server-vs-graphify.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"github-mcp-server\", \"b\": \"graphify\"}`.
