github-issue-audit
Connects to GitHub APIs to fetch repository issues and compute audit metrics such as open/closed ratios, average age, resolution times, and label distributions. Repository maintainers and developers use it to evaluate issue handling practices and detect management gaps in real-time.
Overview
The github-issue-audit MCP server provides direct access to GitHub issue data for auditing purposes. It queries repositories to extract issue details including status, timestamps, assignees, and labels, then processes this data into actionable audit reports. This enables systematic review of issue workflows without manual spreadsheet tracking.
Key Capabilities
- Fetches complete issue lists from specified GitHub repositories, including metadata like creation date, updates, and comments.
- Calculates metrics on issue lifecycle: average time to first response, time to close, stale issue counts.
- Analyzes categorization via labels, assignees, and milestones to identify patterns or imbalances.
- Generates summaries exportable as JSON or CSV for further analysis in tools like Excel or BI platforms.
No specific sub-tools are exposed; capabilities operate through the server's core auditing endpoint.
Use Cases
- Run audits on open-source repos to measure community response efficiency, e.g., flagging repos with >30% issues older than 90 days.
- Team leads query enterprise repos weekly to track SLA compliance on issue resolution times.
- During code reviews, audit linked issues for completeness before merging pull requests.
- Compliance teams scan repos for unlabeled security issues or unassigned bugs.
Who This Is For
Repository owners, DevOps engineers, and project managers maintaining GitHub repos. Suited for teams needing data-driven insights into issue triage without custom scripting.
