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

  • Uses GitHub API via Octokit

  • Implements MCP server with StdioServerTransport

  • Returns comments in a structured JSON format

Related MCP server: github-repo-mcp

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,
