GitHub Support Assistant
An MCP server that helps support engineers find similar GitHub issues to speed up troubleshooting.
Setup
- Install dependencies:
npm install
- Set your GitHub token as an environment variable:
export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_personal_access_token
- Build the server:
npm run build
Integrating with Claude:
Update the claude desktop configuration, e.g.
code ~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
Update it to include the full path that this repository was cloned to:
{
"mcpServers": {
"find-similar-github-issues": {
"command": "node",
"args": [
"/Users/<repo_path>/build/index.js"
]
}
}
}
Features
- Searches for similar issues in a GitHub repository based on issue description
- Calculates similarity scores to rank results
- Returns formatted issue details with links
Usage
The server provides one tool:
find-similar-issues
Finds GitHub issues similar to a given description.
Parameters:
owner: GitHub repository owner/organizationrepo: GitHub repository nameissueDescription: Description of the issue to find similar ones formaxResults: Maximum number of similar issues to return (default: 5)
Implementation Notes
This implementation uses a simple Jaccard similarity coefficient to compare text. For production use, consider implementing more sophisticated NLP techniques for better similarity matching.
Recommended Servers
Kagi MCP Server
