Turn your AI assistant into a GitHub project manager.

GitHub Issue Tracker connects Claude, Cursor, VS Code Copilot, Windsurf and any MCP client to GitHub Issues. Connect your GitHub account in one click, then manage issues in plain English:

"Triage today's new issues and flag duplicates"
"Create a bug report from this error log and label it high priority"
"Break #42 into sub-issues and add them to milestone v2.0"
"Close everything inactive for 90 days with a polite comment — dry run first"
"Write this week's issue report for my team"

45 tools across the full issue workflow

Issues: list, search (full GitHub syntax), create, update, close, reopen, lock, timeline
Comments, labels, assignees, milestones, reactions
Sub-issues: build epics and track progress
Bulk updates: change up to 100 issues at once, with dry run and per-issue results

Built-in intelligence

Duplicate detection: finds similar issues before you file a new one
Backlog analytics: time to close, workload per person, unassigned and unlabeled counts, oldest issues
Stale-issue finder with label exclusions
Markdown activity reports for stand-ups, sprint reviews and client updates
One-click label preset: color-coded type, priority and status labels

6 guided workflows Triage issues, weekly report, bug-report writer, epic planner, release notes from a milestone, stale-issue clean-up.

Safe by design

Uses only your own GitHub access; works with public and private repositories you can reach
Destructive actions are clearly marked so your AI client asks before running them
Bulk changes support a preview (dry run) before anything is modified
No data stored: requests go straight to the GitHub API

Works with GitHub.com repositories for individuals, teams and organizations.
