mcp-github-project-manager

remote-capable server

The server can be hosted and run remotely because it primarily relies on remote services or has no dependency on the local environment.

Integrations

  • Provides GitHub Projects functionality through the MCP interface, allowing management of projects, issues, milestones, sprints, and custom fields using GitHub's GraphQL API

  • Uses GitHub's GraphQL API to interact with GitHub Projects, handling API integration, rate limits, and optimistic concurrency

GitHub Project Manager MCP Server

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server implementation that provides GitHub Projects functionality through standardized tools and resources. This server enables LLM clients to manage GitHub Projects programmatically through the MCP interface.

Overview

This server implements the Model Context Protocol to expose GitHub Projects functionality to LLM clients. It provides tools for managing projects, milestones, sprints, and metrics through GitHub's GraphQL API while maintaining state and handling errors according to MCP specifications.

Key Features

  • Project Management
    • Create and manage GitHub Projects (v2)
    • Handle project settings and configurations
    • Manage project visibility and access
  • Project Resources
    • Issues and milestones management
    • Sprint planning and tracking
    • Custom fields and views
    • Resource versioning and locking
  • MCP Implementation
    • Full MCP specification compliance
    • Standardized tool definitions
    • Resource state management
    • Progressive response handling
    • Comprehensive error handling
  • GitHub Integration
    • GraphQL API integration
    • Rate limit handling
    • Optimistic concurrency
    • Webhook support (planned)

Installation

# Install dependencies npm install # or pnpm install # Set up environment variables cp .env.example .env # Edit .env with your GitHub token and details

Configuration

Required environment variables:

GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token GITHUB_OWNER=repository_owner GITHUB_REPO=repository_name

The GitHub token requires these permissions:

  • repo (Full repository access)
  • project (Project access)
  • write:org (Organization access)

Usage

# Start the MCP server npm start # Run tests npm test npm run test:e2e

See the User Guide for detailed usage instructions.

Architecture

The server follows Clean Architecture principles with distinct layers:

  • Domain Layer: Core entities and repository interfaces
  • Infrastructure Layer: GitHub API integration and implementations
  • Service Layer: Business logic coordination
  • MCP Layer: Tool definitions and request handling

See ARCHITECTURE.md for detailed architecture documentation.
