## Description

List repositories the authenticated user can access, or — when `org` is provided — the repositories of a specific organization. Use this to discover a repo's `owner/repo` name before calling **Get Repository**, **Get Repository Content**, or **List Commits**. To find repos by name, set the `name` substring filter. [See the documentation](https://docs.github.com/en/rest/repos/repos?apiVersion=2022-11-28#list-repositories-for-the-authenticated-user)

## Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `org` | `string` | No | List repositories for this organization (login, e.g. PipedreamHQ) instead of the authenticated user. Get org logins from Get Current User. Leave blank to list the user's own repositories. |
| `name` | `string` | No | Case-insensitive substring match on repository name. Example: api matches payments-api and internal-api-tools. |
| `visibility` | `string` | No | Limit results to repositories with the specified visibility (user repos only — ignored when org is set). |
| `type` | `string` | No | Limit results to repositories of the specified type. For user repos, do not combine with visibility. |
| `sort` | `string` | No | The field to sort the results by |
| `direction` | `string` | No | The direction to sort the results by |
| `maxResults` | `integer` | No | The maximum number of results to return. Defaults to 100. |

  clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
  clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
  projectEnvironment: "production",
})

const accessToken = await pd.rawAccessToken

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(
  new URL("https://remote.mcp.pipedream.net/v3"),

    },
  },
)

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)

const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// listTools() hands your model this tool's input schema, so it can
// fill the arguments itself:
const result = await mcp.callTool({
  name: "github-list-repositories",
  arguments: {
    org: "Organization",
    name: "Name",
  },
})
```
