GitHub mcp file creation error: Failed to call tool create_or_update_file: Error: MCP error 32604:

[Mahshadn]

I get this error when Claude Desktop is trying to create files to my repo. I created this private repo in the same chat earlier.
Claude can access the repo, however, when asking to create files (json, yaml, etc.) it doesn't work and returns below error:

Failed to call tool create_or_update_file: Error: MCP error -32604: Invalid arguments: content.encoding: Required, content.content: Required

I get this quite frequently as well. The only thing that works currently is when it uses push_files

[Rehcywgnaf]

did you try to use create_or_update_file instead of push_files ? maybe a turnaround ?
I get the same 32603 or 32604 error but for now waiting for my claude to comeback

Oh forgot to update here but I think I fixed this and many other problems w/ Github MCP server in this PR #434

[Rehcywgnaf]

I get this error :
MCP error -32603: Invalid arguments: content.encoding: Required, content.content: Required
I dont know if this PR can help me, does it ?

I have the same error while I am able to push files. Using windows and Claude Desktop.
I suspect an error in the permissions github side or problems with the new type of token.
I am testing the old one now. With the new type it failed to call create_or_update due to -32603 content.content error

[txbm]

Yes I am using a classic token. Not sure about the new fine grained ones

[txbm]

I get this error :

MCP error -32603: Invalid arguments: content.encoding: Required, content.content: Required

I dont know if this PR can help me, does it ?

Try cloning my fork locally and install it into Claude using NPX pointed at the local copy of my fork, it should work but if it doesn't just post the error and I'll fix it!

I was also getting this error, can confirm #434 fixes it. Thanks @txbm.
