### 3\. Workflow 1 — Summarize All Open PRs

Use Warp’s agent to summarize pull requests:

Behind the scenes, the MCP server:

-   Lists PRs
-   Fetches comments and reviews
-   Compiles summaries with clickable links

Perfect for daily PR triage or stand-ups.

### 4\. Workflow 2 — Create GitHub Issues from TODOs

Use a saved prompt to automate issue creation.

Warp:

1.  Scans your codebase for TODO comments
2.  Calls `create_issue` for each one via MCP
3.  Generates a linked list of new issues

This turns scattered notes into trackable tickets instantly.
