Overview

GitHub Notifications MCP Server is a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server designed to manage GitHub notifications for open-source software (OSS) maintainers, allowing AI assistants to help users handle notifications through natural language commands.

To use the server, clone the repository, install dependencies, set up your GitHub Personal Access Token, and run the server. You can also integrate it with Claude Desktop for enhanced functionality.

  • List and filter GitHub notifications - Mark notifications as read - View details of notification threads - Subscribe or unsubscribe from threads - Manage repository-specific notifications
  1. Efficiently managing notifications for multiple repositories.
  2. Automating the process of marking notifications as read.
  3. Integrating with AI assistants for natural language interaction with GitHub notifications.
