What it does
Part of the Pare collection of MCP servers, this local server wraps the GitHub CLI (gh) and hands back typed JSON instead of terminal text, so an agent spends fewer tokens reading results. It runs through npx and depends on gh being installed and logged in. Tools cover viewing, listing and creating pull requests and issues, inspecting workflow runs, and setting, listing and deleting GitHub Actions secrets and variables at repository, organisation or environment level; secret values travel on stdin and are never returned. An opt-in setting lets review and merge calls act as a second logged-in gh account, limited to accounts named in an environment variable.
Capabilities
- View, list and create pull requests
- View, list and create issues
- List and inspect GitHub Actions workflow runs
- Set, list and delete Actions secrets and variables
- Review or merge as a second gh account when allowed
