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).
