About
MCP server with derived GitHub issue tools: normalized fetch, new-issue watch, claim status.
Security Report
Well-designed MCP server with strong security fundamentals. Implements repository allowlist to prevent arbitrary repo access, uses read-only GitHub token, and keeps business logic separate from HTTP/auth layers for testability. Minor code quality findings around error handling and input validation do not materially impact security posture. Supply chain analysis found 3 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (1 critical, 1 high severity). Package verification found 1 issue.

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.
