  • Proper error handling with isError flag

  • Resources and prompts for enhanced functionality

  • 15 fully working tools (no more stubs!)

✅ All Tools Now Working

  • Issue Management (4 tools): create, list, get, update

  • Milestone Management (6 tools): create, list, metrics, overdue, upcoming

  • Label Management (2 tools): create, list

  • Advanced Analytics (2 tools): task complexity analysis, repository summary

  • 📋 Advanced Project Planning & PRD Tools (5 tools): generate PRD, parse PRD, enhance PRD, add feature, create roadmap

  • MCP Resources: Repository information exposure

  • MCP Prompts: Sprint planning and issue triage templates

✅ AI-Powered Analytics

  • Smart complexity analysis with 8-point story estimation

  • Priority calculation based on labels and activity

  • Readiness assessment with blocker detection

  • Comprehensive implementation planning with phase breakdown

🔧 Installation & Setup

1. Build the Server

cd /path/to/github-project-manager-mcp npm install npm run build

2. GitHub Token Setup

Create a GitHub Personal Access Token with these scopes:

  • repo (Full control of private repositories)

  • write:org (Write organization data)

  • read:org (Read organization data)

3. Claude Desktop Configuration

Update your Claude Desktop configuration:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json Mac: ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Linux: ~/.config/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json

{ "mcpServers": { "github-project-manager": { "command": "node", "args": ["C:\\tmp\\github-project-manager-mcp-local\\build\\index.js"], "env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your-github-personal-access-token", "GITHUB_OWNER": "your-github-username", "GITHUB_REPO": "your-repository-name" } } } }

4. Restart Claude Desktop

After updating the configuration, restart Claude Desktop to load the new server.

💡 Usage Examples

Issue Management

Create an issue titled "Setup Database Schema" with labels "type: feature, priority: high" List all open issues assigned to john-doe Get detailed information about issue #42 Update issue #15 to closed state with assignee jane-smith

Milestone Management

Create a milestone "Phase 1: Backend" due on 2025-09-30 Show me all upcoming milestones in the next 30 days Get progress metrics for milestone #3 Find all overdue milestones

Advanced Analytics

Analyze the complexity of issue #25 Give me a complete repository health summary with trends What's the current project completion rate?

📋 Advanced Project Planning & PRD Tools

Generate a PRD for "Mobile Learning App" with features ["User authentication", "Course catalog", "Video streaming"] Parse the PRD in issue #42 and create development tasks Enhance the existing PRD with market analysis and technical recommendations Add a new "Real-time Chat" feature with comprehensive impact analysis Create a quarterly roadmap showing all milestones and dependencies

Smart Prompts

Use the "plan-sprint" prompt with goals ["Database setup", "User auth"] and team ["alice", "bob"] Use the "triage-issue" prompt for issue "Bug in login system"
