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.

Requirements

Python 3.12+
GitHub Personal Access Token (with repo scope) or a GitHub OAuth App (client ID, secret, and a public base URL)

Authentication

Two auth modes are supported. The active mode is selected automatically from environment variables.

Mode	When active	Token used for API calls
Static token (default)	`GITHUB_TOKEN` set; no `GITHUB_OAUTH_*` vars	Server's `GITHUB_TOKEN` for all calls
GitHub OAuth2	`GITHUB_TOKEN` + all three `GITHUB_OAUTH_*` vars set	Each user's own `gho_*` token

Environment Variables

Variable	Required	Description
`GITHUB_TOKEN`	Yes	GitHub PAT with `repo` scope; used as the Bearer token in static-token HTTP mode
`MCP_ENABLE_REMOTE`	No	Any non-empty value enables HTTP mode (required for OAuth2)
`GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID`	OAuth2 only	GitHub OAuth App client ID
`GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET`	OAuth2 only	GitHub OAuth App client secret
`GITHUB_OAUTH_BASE_URL`	OAuth2 only	Public base URL of the MCP server (used for the OAuth2 redirect)
`REDIS_HOST_PORT`	No	Redis connection string. Accepts `host:port` or a full URI: `redis://[:password@]host:port[/db]` (plaintext) or `rediss://[:password@]host:port[/db]` (TLS). When set, OAuth token state is stored in Redis instead of in-process memory.
`REDIS_PASSWORD`	No	Redis AUTH password fallback — used when the password is not embedded in the URI.
`PORT`	No (default `8081`)	HTTP server port
`HOST`	No (default `localhost`)	HTTP server host
`GITHUB_API_TIMEOUT`	No (default `5`)	Timeout in seconds for GitHub API requests

To create a GitHub OAuth App, go to Settings → Developer settings → OAuth Apps → New OAuth App and set the Authorization callback URL to <GITHUB_OAUTH_BASE_URL>/auth/callback (e.g. https://mcp.example.com/auth/callback).

Tool Categories

PR Management: Fetch diffs, content, linked issues, CI status - create, review, merge, and update
Issue Tracking: Create, update, list, and assign
Release Management: Tags and releases
User Search: Profile lookup and activity tracking via GraphQL

Main Flows

MCP Client: Interacts via stdio or streamable HTTP
Auth Layer: Selects APIKeyVerifier (static token) or GitHub OAuth2 provider; token state in MemoryStore or RedisStore
PRIssueAnalyser: FastMCP server - handles tool registration and request routing
GitHub Integration: All GitHub API calls (REST v3 + GraphQL v4)

Local Installation

Clone the repository:

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

Install dependencies:

Launch MCP in stdio mode.

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

Alternatively, launch MCP in http mode.

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

You can access it via http i.e. http(s)://localhost:8081/mcp In HTTP mode, clients must authenticate with Authorization: Bearer <GITHUB_TOKEN>.

Alternatively, launch MCP in http mode with GitHub OAuth2 authentication.

export GITHUB_TOKEN="<github-token>"
export MCP_ENABLE_REMOTE=true
export GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID="<oauth-app-client-id>"
export GITHUB_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET="<oauth-app-client-secret>"
export GITHUB_OAUTH_BASE_URL="https://<your-public-host>"
uvx ./

In OAuth2 mode, users authenticate via GitHub's OAuth flow. Each user's own GitHub token is used for API calls.

Alternatively, run via Docker using the published image.

docker run -e GITHUB_TOKEN="<github-token>" \
  -p 8081:8081 \
  ghcr.io/saidsef/mcp-github-pr-issue-analyser:latest

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.
