MCP for GitHub PR, Issues, Tags and Releases

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that enables seamless integration between Large Language Models (LLMs) and external tools. Whilst it can be implemented in any AI system, including custom LLM setups, the degree of integration and optimisation varies based on the model's architecture and capabilities.

This MCP application serves as a bridge between LLMs and GitHub's repository management features, offering automated analysis of pull requests and comprehensive issue management. It provides a robust set of tools to fetch PR details, create issues, and update issues directly from your desktop LLM. The application is designed with modularity in mind, supporting extensibility via the MCP tool interface and seamless integration with existing workflows.

The toolset enables automated PR analysis, issue tracking, tagging and release management through a standardised MCP interface, making it ideal for teams seeking to streamline their GitHub workflow automation.

4. Network Info: IPv4/IPv6 details

Main Flows:

• PRIssueAnalyser: Main MCP server handling tool registration and requests
• GitHub Integration: Manages all GitHub API interactions
• IP Integration: Handles IPv4/IPv6 information retrieval
• MCP Client: Interacts via stdio or Server-Sent Events (SSE)

Local Installation

1. Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/saidsef/mcp-github-pr-issue-analyser.git
cd mcp-github-pr-issue-analyser

2. Install dependencies:

Launch MCP in stdio mode.

export GITHUB_TOKEN="<github-token>"
uvx ./

Alternatively, launch MCP in sse mode.

export GITHUB_TOKEN="<github-token>"
export MCP_ENABLE_REMOTE=true
uvx ./

You can access it via sse i.e. http(s)://localhost:8080/sse

Local Integration with IDEs and LLMs

To add an MCP server to your IDE or LLM, you need to add this section to the configuration file. The basic structure involves defining a server name and providing the command and any necessary arguments to run the server.

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "github_prs_issues": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "<your-github-token>"
      },
      "args": [
        "https://github.com/saidsef/mcp-github-pr-issue-analyser.git",
      ]
    }
  }
}

{
  "inputs": [
    {
      "type": "promptString",
      "id": "github-token",
      "description": "Enter your GitHub token",
      "password": true
    }
  ],
  "servers": {
    "github-prs-issues": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": [
        "https://github.com/saidsef/mcp-github-pr-issue-analyser.git",
      ],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "${input:github-token}"
      }
    }
  }
}
