Oss Issues tools (4)
write = sends, deletes, buys or postsRead from the package source without running it. The installed server may list more.
get_actionable_issueFetch one issue, normalised for triage: template scaffolding stripped, only the fields a readiness judge needs (title, cleaned body, labels, author association, comments, state, url).
get_claim_statusIs this issue already being worked on?
get_repo_contextThe repo's contribution rules: CONTRIBUTING.md presence/excerpt and whether issue templates are configured. Fetched once per repo and cached, since these rarely change.
list_new_issuesNew OPEN issues across the watch-list, pull requests excluded.

What the publisher says
From the Oss Issues repository's README, as published. We do not edit it. Read it on GitHub
oss-issues-mcp
<!-- mcp-name: io.github.AmrMohamed17/oss-issues-mcp --> An MCP server exposing derived, triage-oriented GitHub issue tools — not a passthrough of the GitHub API.
Where GitHub's own MCP server returns raw API responses, this server does task-specific work: stripping issue-template scaffolding, resolving whether an issue is already claimed from multiple signals, and filtering a watch-list of repositories to what is new and open.
Tools
Security
- Repository allowlist — the server refuses any repo not explicitly allowed.
- Read-only — no write tools exist until a human-approval gate governs them.
- Requires a fine-grained, read-only GITHUB_TOKEN.
