GitHub PR Comments MCP Server

This is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that fetches GitHub Pull Request comments using a GitHub personal access token.

Features

  • Fetches PR comments with file paths, line ranges, and replies
  • Uses GitHub API via Octokit
  • Implements MCP server with StdioServerTransport
  • Returns comments in a structured JSON format

Installation

Installing via Smithery

To install github-pr-mcp for Claude Desktop automatically via Smithery:

npx -y @smithery/cli install github-pr-mcp --client claude

Installing Manually

  1. Clone the repository
  2. Install dependencies:
    npm install
  3. Create a .env file with your GitHub token:
    GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here

Usage

  1. Build the project:
    npm run build
  2. Run the server:
    npm start
    Or directly with a GitHub token:
    node dist/server.js your_github_token_here
  3. The server exposes a tool called get_pr_comments that accepts the following parameters:
    • owner: Repository owner (username or organization)
    • repo: Repository name
    • pull_number: Pull request number

Integration with Cursor

To integrate with Cursor, use the following command in Cursor's MCP server configuration:

node /path/to/dist/server.js your_github_token_here

Replace /path/to with the actual path to your project, and your_github_token_here with your GitHub personal access token.

Testing

A test client is included to verify the server functionality:

  1. Build the project:
    npm run build
  2. Run the test client:
    npm test

The test client will start the server, connect to it, and call the get_pr_comments tool with sample parameters.

Response Format

The server returns comments in the following format:

{ "comments": [ { "id": 123456789, "path": "src/example.js", "body": "This is a comment on a specific line", "line": 42, "start_line": 40, "user": { "login": "username" }, "created_at": "2023-01-01T00:00:00Z", "replies": [ { "id": 987654321, "body": "This is a reply to the comment", "user": { "login": "another-username" }, "created_at": "2023-01-02T00:00:00Z" } ] } ] }
