GitHub PR Comments MCP Server

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

Features

Fetches PR comments with file paths, line ranges, and replies
Uses GitHub API via Octokit
Implements MCP server with StdioServerTransport
Returns comments in a structured JSON format

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

Clone the repository
Install dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Create a .env file with your GitHub token:
```
GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here
```

Usage

Build the project:
```
npm run build
```

Run the server:

npm start

Or directly with a GitHub token:

node dist/server.js your_github_token_here

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:

Build the project:
```
npm run build
```
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,
