Github MCP: Summarizing Open PRs & Creating GH Issues

The GitHub MCP Server lets Warp agents read, write, and automate tasks in your GitHub repositories directly — no manual tab-switching required.


2. Setup

Step 1. Get a GitHub Personal Access Token

  1. Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer Settings → Personal Access Tokens

  2. Create a new token and enable:

    • repo

    • read:user


Step 2. Add the Server in Warp

  1. Open the MCP Panel via Command Palette (Cmd + P)

  2. Click Add Server

  3. Paste in your JSON config and the access token

  4. Save — and you’ll see the available endpoints immediately


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.


5. Why It’s Useful

  • Save 20–30 minutes per session

  • Keep repos synchronized automatically

  • Enable PR summaries, issue tracking, and automation — all inside Warp.
