About github-brain

wham/github-brain

An experimental GitHub MCP server with local database.

GitHub Brain helps project managers, team leads, or open-source community managers quickly summarize GitHub discussions, issues, and pull requests. It takes raw GitHub data from a specified organization and provides concise, AI-generated summaries or answers to questions about contributions, offering faster responses and more data than standard GitHub APIs. This tool is for anyone needing to get a quick overview of team activities or project status within GitHub without manually sifting through countless entries.
