a mcp server to manage github project's functionality
📌Overview
Purpose: To enable LLM clients to manage GitHub Projects programmatically through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server.
Overview: This MCP server implementation provides a structured way to access GitHub Projects functionality. It leverages GitHub's GraphQL API to facilitate the management of projects, milestones, sprints, and other project-related metrics while adhering to MCP standards for state management and error handling.
Key Features:
-
Project Management
Allows users to create and manage GitHub Projects (v2), configure project settings, and control visibility and access. -
Project Resources
Supports management of issues and milestones, sprint planning and tracking, custom fields and views, as well as resource versioning and locking. -
MCP Implementation
Ensures full compliance with the MCP specifications, offering standardized tool definitions, efficient resource state management, and robust error handling. -
GitHub Integration
Features seamless integration with GitHub's GraphQL API, including effective rate limit handling and optimistic concurrency, with future plans for webhook support.
