CursorAI/Idea/Proj Rules GitHub CLI AI SLDC/MCP

• This idea is an extension to CursorAI/Idea/Proj Rules GitHub CLI AI SLDC that considers whether it might make sense to use a Model Context Protocol to interact with the GitHub/API to provide the same context that flat files would in that project.

• Finding an MCP server for the GitHub API

  • An example of an MCP server is available in Person/Kevin Leneway/Github/awesome-cursor-mpc-server.
  • In this case, there may be an existing server available that interacts with the GitHub API
    • see CursorAI/Sites/cursor.directory/mcp for a list of MCP servers
      • There is one for GitHub listed, but it's incorrectly linked to the Linear server at this time
    • official list of MCP servers are at MCP/GitHub/servers
      • there's already one in MCP/GitHub/servers/GitHub

• Setting up MCP/GitHub/servers/GitHub

  • First step is to get the server deployed locally.
  • Do I just download the repo and go from there? or is there another way?
  • root of the repo - Getting Started
    • Typescript-based servers in this repository can be used directly with npx.
