MCP server to scout beginner-friendly OSS issues with high precision using GitHub GraphQL

VerifiedSTDIODesktop onlyWeb Search & ScrapingDeveloper Tools

Overview

AI-generated overview

Scouts beginner-friendly open-source GitHub issues, filtering out ones already being worked on.

What you can do
Queries GitHub through its GraphQL API to find issues suitable for newcomers. It cross-references linked pull requests to filter out issues already being worked on, and summarizes issue bodies so an assistant can review them efficiently. It aims for high precision, targeting approachable tasks even when no beginner label is present.
When to use it
Useful when you or an assistant want to find a first open-source contribution, or when triaging newcomer-friendly issues across repositories. It suits contributors looking for genuinely unclaimed tasks rather than label-only matches.
Requirements
Runs locally via npx, so Node.js 18 or higher is needed. A GitHub token is recommended, supplied through the MCP_OSS_ONRAMP_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable or by authenticating the GitHub CLI with gh auth login. It works without authentication but is rate-limited and less precise.
Before you install
The optional GitHub token is a credential; store it in the environment rather than in shared configuration. Without it, requests are rate-limited and pull-request cross-referencing is unavailable. The server reads public GitHub data and does not appear to write or delete anything.

Installation

In SourceWeft

  1. Open Mcp Oss Onramp in the dashboard and add it to a workspace.
  2. Enable the server for the chats that should use its tools.

Desktop only via STDIO. STDIO servers start a local process, so they need the SourceWeft desktop host.

Other MCP clients

Follow the launch instructions in the repository.

MCP Configuration

Add this to your AI agent's configuration:

json

Features

  • True Availability: Checks linked PRs via GraphQL to filter out issues already being worked on.
  • AI-Optimized: Summarizes issue bodies for efficient LLM consumption.
  • High Precision: Targets beginner-friendly tasks even without explicit labels.

Prerequisites

  • GitHub Authentication (Recommended):
    • Set MCP_OSS_ONRAMP_GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable, OR
    • Install GitHub CLI (gh) and authenticate via gh auth login.
  • Node.js: Version 18 or higher.

Note: The server works without authentication but will be rate-limited and provide lower precision (no PR cross-referencing).

Score

50% of the applicable checks met

How complete this listing is, computed from the registry entry, the endpoint and public sources. Not a rating of the server and not a statement that it is safe or working today: reachability is a dated check, and no installs or reviews go into the score.

  • Reached in the last 30 days25 pts

    Keep the endpoint answering the MCP handshake; SourceWeft probes it every 30 days.

  • Auth declared10 pts

    Declare the credential headers in the registry entry, or keep the endpoint answering the probe so its auth can be classified.

  • Tools listed15 pts

    Answer tools/list without a credential, or ship a package that starts in a sandbox without one.
