README

IssueWatcher

Watches the GitHub repositories you have starred, detects newly opened issues, and emails you a digest with an AI-generated summary and a suggested fix for each one.

Use it from your AI assistant (MCP)

Ask Claude, Cursor or VS Code "What GitHub issues should I work on today?" and get the new GitHub issues worth your time, ranked, with the reason for each. It works through MCP, is read-only, and needs only a GitHub token (no AI key).

claude mcp add issuewatcher -e GITHUB_TOKEN=github_pat_xxxxxxxx -- npx -y issuewatcher-mcp

Claude Desktop has a one-click bundle. Full guide, token walkthrough, other apps and troubleshooting: docs/MCP.md. Test your setup any time with npx -y issuewatcher-mcp --check.

The rest of this page describes the other way to use the project: a scheduled email digest.

What makes it different

Besides your starred repos, IssueWatcher reads the package.json and requirements.txt of your own repos and also watches the libraries you depend on. New issues are scored 0-100 (is it a library you use? does it mention your version? does it sound severe?). Only the top ones get an AI summary and a "why you are seeing this" line; the rest are listed compactly.

Try it without sending anything: DRY_RUN=true npm run dev prints the ranked list.

What the email looks like

Each entry has an AI summary and a possible fix. Newer versions also add a relevance score and a "why you're seeing this" line (for example "good first issue; unassigned; opened 3h ago"), and list lower-relevance issues compactly at the bottom. This screenshot was taken from an earlier version of the email.

How it works

Lists your starred repos and their open issues (fully paginated, with retry and rate-limit handling).
Compares them against a local state file to find issues you have not been told about.
Summarises new issues with the LLM of your choice in batches (summary + possible fix per issue), reusing cached summaries.
Sends one HTML/plain-text email, then records the issues as seen.

Behaviour worth knowing:

No flood on first run. A repo seen for the first time (including a newly starred one) is recorded silently; only issues opened afterwards are reported.
No lost issues. State is saved only after the email is delivered. If GitHub, Gemini or SMTP fails, the issues are retried next cycle. If only the summary fails, the issue is still emailed without one.
Free-tier friendly. Issues are summarised several per request, requests are rate-limited, summaries are cached, and if a provider runs out of quota the app switches to the next one. With none left, the digest still goes out with plain excerpts instead of AI summaries. The AI is optional: with no key at all the app works fully (ranking, reasons, links, excerpts). The free gemini-2.5-flash tier allows only about 20 requests/day; GEMINI_MODEL=gemini-2.5-flash-lite worked in testing.
Bounded cost. At most MAX_ISSUES_PER_EMAIL issues are summarised per digest (the rest are still listed), and issue bodies are truncated before being sent to the model.

Setup

Requires Node.js 22+.

git clone https://github.com/mac146/IssueWatcher
cd IssueWatcher/mcp-server
npm install

Copy .env.example to .env (in mcp-server/) and fill it in:

# Required
GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_xxx            # PAT; needs read access to your starred repos and their issues
SMTP_USER=you@gmail.com
SMTP_PASS=app-password          # for Gmail use an App Password
MAIL_TO=you@example.com         # com
