Commit Multiple Files

Tool to atomically create, update, or delete multiple files in a GitHub repository as a single commit.

Find Pull Requests

Primary tool to find and search pull requests. Supports filtering by repository, author, state, labels, and merge status, and returns structured PR data for reliable use in workflows. GitHub search results are capped at ~1000 total items; narrow filters when totals approach this limit. `created_since`/`updated_since` filter on creation/update timestamps, not `merged_at`; apply merge-date filtering client-side.

Find Repositories

AI-optimized repository search with smart filtering by language, stars, topics, and ownership. Builds intelligent search queries and returns clean, actionable repository data. Check `incomplete_results` in the response — when true, results are non-exhaustive. Search endpoints are rate-limited to ~30 requests/minute (vs. 5000/hour for general REST); apply backoff on 403/429. Total results are capped at ~1000 per query regardless of pagination.

Run GraphQL Query

Tool to run an arbitrary GitHub GraphQL v4 query or mutation. Use when fetching multiple datasets in one batch.

Use ProjectV2 nodes, not Classic Projects (deprecated). Parallel mutations (e.g., addProjectV2ItemById) can trigger transient conflicts; use sequential execution.
