Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

• get_file

  Read a file from a repo via the Contents API. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name. repo: Repository name. path: File path within the repo, no leading slash. ref: Branch, tag, or SHA. Default: the default branch. Returns {content, sha, size, encoding, path}. content is decoded UTF-8 text. sha is the blob SHA you need to pass to put_file when updating.

• get_pr

  Fetch a single PR with its check-run status and mergeable state. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name. repo: Repository name. number: PR number. Returns the PR record plus a `checks` array (each item: name, status, conclusion) and `mergeable`, `mergeable_state` fields. Use this before merge_pr to confirm CI is green.

• health_check

  Verify the GitHub PAT is valid and report current rate-limit state. Returns the authenticated login, token scopes (when discoverable), the rate-limit ceiling, remaining requests, and the reset timestamp. Use this as the first call when wiring github-mcp into a new client.

• list_dependabot_alerts

  List Dependabot alerts for a repo with a severity-grouped summary. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name. repo: Repository name. state: "open" | "fixed" | "dismissed" | "auto_dismissed" | "all". Default "open" — the operational case. per_page: Page size, capped at 100. Returns {alerts: [...], counts_by_severity: {critical, high, medium, low}}. Mirrors the API call that surfaced the 27-alert incident on mycelium-site.

• list_prs

  List pull requests for a repo. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name (e.g. "adelaidasofia"). repo: Repository name. state: "open" | "closed" | "all". Default "open". per_page: Page size, capped at 100 server-side. Returns a list of compact PR records (number, title, state, head, base, author, draft, mergeable_state when available, html_url).

• merge_pr

  Merge a pull request. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name. repo: Repository name. number: PR number. method: "squash" | "merge" | "rebase". Default "squash". delete_branch: Whether to delete the head branch after merge. Default true. No "auto-merge wait" loop here — the caller should call get_pr first to confirm CI status, then call merge_pr. Keeps tool surface deterministic.

• put_file

  Create or update a file via the Contents API. Idempotent when sha is correctly supplied for updates. Args: owner: GitHub owner/org name. repo: Repository name. path: File path within the repo, no leading slash. content: UTF-8 file content. Will be base64-encoded for transport. message: Commit message. branch: Target branch. Default: the default branch. sha: Required when updating; the current blob SHA from get_file. Omit for create. Returns {created: bool, updated: bool, sha, commit_sha, path}.
