Provides tools for scraping and accessing data from GitHub Projects, including repository contents, issues, pull requests, and organization-level project metadata.
Click on "Deploy Server".
Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state.
In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@GitHub Projects MCP Server Show me the status of all issues in the 'Product Roadmap' project board"
That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed.
Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.
This project provides an MCP server for scraping data from GitHub Projects. For use on private projects you will need a Github Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following permissions:
Repository permissions:
- Contents: Read-only
- Issues: Read-only
- Metadata: Read-only
- Pull requests: Read-only
Organization permissions:
- Members: Read-only
- Projects: Read-onlyIn Claude Desktop:
vim ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json{
"mcpServers": {
"github-projects": {
"command": "uv",
"args": [
"--directory",
"/Users/jamesbriggs/Documents/aurelio/corp-agent/github-projects",
"run",
"github_projects/mcp/app.py"
]
"env": {
"GITHUB_PAT": "github_pat_..."
}
}
}
}We're leaving some quick notes on working and developing with MCP here. First, to view your MCP server and the various tools etc it contains we recommend:
npm install -g @modelcontextprotocol/inspectorStart the inspector app, inside the terminal you should see a localhost URL you can navigate to to open the UI.
mcp-inspectorOnce inside the UI, start and connect to the MCP server with the following adapted to your particular environment. Note that these are the same inputs we provide to Claude Desktop:
Command: uv
Arguments: --directory /Users/jamesbriggs/Documents/aurelio/corp-agent/github-projects run python -m github_projects.app
Environment Variables (keep anything already here, just append): GITHUB_PAT: github_pat_...Assuming the server started successfully, you can navigate to Tools and view the @mcp.tool methods that we have defined.
