oss-issues-mcp

An MCP server exposing derived, triage-oriented GitHub issue tools — not a passthrough of the GitHub API.

Where GitHub's own MCP server returns raw API responses, this server does task-specific work: stripping issue-template scaffolding, resolving whether an issue is already claimed from multiple signals, and filtering a watch-list of repositories to what is new and open.

Tools

Tool	Purpose
`get_actionable_issue`	Fetch an issue, strip template furniture, return only triage-relevant fields
(planned) `list_new_issues`	New open issues across a watch-list, pull requests excluded
(planned) `get_claim_status`	Is this already being worked on? (assignees + linked PRs)
(planned) `get_repo_context`	CONTRIBUTING.md and issue-template rules

Security

Repository allowlist — the server refuses any repo not explicitly allowed.
Read-only — no write tools exist until a human-approval gate governs them.
Requires a fine-grained, read-only GITHUB_TOKEN.
