# 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](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) 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
```bash
# 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:
```env
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
```bash
# Start the MCP server
npm start
# Run tests
npm test
npm run test:e2e
```
See the [User Guide](docs/user-guide.md) 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](ARCHITECTURE.md) for detailed architecture documentation.
