# MCP server on n8n for viewing and commenting on GitHub issues via AI
This automation implements an MCP server that enables AI agents to interact with GitHub without direct code access. It securely handles operations like fetching the latest issues, reading comments, and posting new replies. Designed for teams integrating AI tools into engineering workflows while maintaining control and security.
## Who it´s for
- Developers using AI agents to manage GitHub tasks
- Engineering managers automating issue data collection
- DevOps teams adopting secure AI tools for repositories
- Automation specialists building MCP servers on n8n
## What the automation does
- Accepts requests from MCP-compatible clients (e.g. Claude Desktop)
- Processes commands: `getLatestIssues`, `getIssueComments`, `addIssueComment`
- Authenticates with GitHub via API using secure credentials
- Executes actions and returns structured responses to the agent
- Enables controlled, auditable access to repository data
## What´s included
- Ready-to-use n8n workflow with LangChain MCP server support
- Request routing logic using switch nodes
- Integrations with GitHub API and HTTP API for inbound calls
- Basic text instructions for setup and adaptation
## Requirements for setup
- n8n instance with access to HTTP triggers and GitHub nodes
- GitHub personal access token with required permissions
- MCP client (e.g. Claude Desktop) capable of sending requests to the server
## Benefits and outcomes
- Accelerates access to issue data via natural language queries
- Eliminates manual GitHub logins for routine status checks
- Provides audit trail and control over AI actions in repositories
- Enables safe use of AI agents without granting direct access
- Reduces engineer workload on repetitive ticket inquiries
- Supports scalable AI tooling in DevOps environments
