GitHub Plugin

GitHub MCP server with selected toolsets enabled for repository management, code security, discussions, notifications, and more.

Components

MCP Server

HTTP-based MCP server connected to api.githubcopilot.com. Tools are deferred and loaded on demand via tool search, keeping them out of the context window until needed. The following toolsets are enabled:

  • default — repos, issues, pull requests, commits, files, users
  • actions — workflow runs, jobs, artifacts, logs
  • orgs — organization membership and teams
  • labels — repository label management
  • notifications — notification listing and management
  • discussions — repository discussions and comments
  • gists — gist creation and management
  • projects — GitHub Projects (v2) management
  • code_security — code scanning alerts
  • secret_protection — secret scanning alerts
  • dependabot — Dependabot alerts
  • security_advisories — global and repository security advisories
  • github_support_docs_search — GitHub product documentation search

Hooks

  • SessionStart — instructs Claude to prefer GitHub MCP tools over the gh CLI and WebFetch for all GitHub operations

Skills

  • triage-prs (/github:triage-prs [owner/repo]) — triages open PRs where you are assigned or a requested reviewer. Sweeps stale notification threads left by PRs that have since closed or merged, then auto-classifies open PRs from search data — skipping ones you've already engaged with and, on Prow-managed repos, dismissing notifications for needs-rebase PRs and unsubscribing entirely from lgtm+approved PRs — then investigates only the remainder with parallel subagents and presents batched options to unassign, remove review requests, or unsubscribe. Explicit invocation only — Claude never triggers it automatically. The target repo is taken from the optional owner/repo argument, or detected from the upstream (preferred) or origin git remote. Prow-managed repos are auto-detected and acted on via bot commands (/unassign, /uncc); on other repos, removing a review request requires an authenticated gh CLI (the one operation the GitHub MCP server does not cover) — without it, that single action is reported for manual follow-up instead.

Configuration

This plugin requires the GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN environment variable to be set with a valid GitHub Personal Access Token.
