oss-issues-mcp

An MCP server exposing derived, triage-oriented GitHub issue tools — not a passthrough of the GitHub API.

Where GitHub's own MCP server returns raw API responses, this server does task-specific work: stripping issue-template scaffolding, resolving whether an issue is already claimed from multiple signals, and filtering a watch-list of repositories to what is new and open.

Tools

Tool

Purpose

get_actionable_issue

Fetch an issue, strip template furniture, return only triage-relevant fields

(planned) list_new_issues

New open issues across a watch-list, pull requests excluded

(planned) get_claim_status

Is this already being worked on? (assignees + linked PRs)

(planned) get_repo_context
