April 2026 monthly summary for github/github-mcp-server: Delivered cross-origin resource sharing (CORS) support for the MCP API via dedicated middleware, enabling browser-based MCP clients to connect from any origin while maintaining secure handling of user credentials. Updated the HTTP handler to bypass cross-origin protections for bearer token authentication in a controlled manner. These changes reduce integration friction for MCP consumers and strengthen the security model around credential handling. This work establishes a foundation for broader client support and smoother onboarding.
