PR Reviews MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that lets Cursor check GitHub and Codeberg PRs for change requests, reviews, and conversations.

Features

• `check_pr_reviews`: Get complete review feedback, change requests, code comments, and conversations for a PR
• `get_pr_status`: Quick summary of PR review status (approvals, change requests, comment counts)
• `view_diff`: Render PR or commit diffs in a beautiful GitHub-style HTML viewer and open in browser
• `view_local_diff`: View local git changes (uncommitted, staged, or vs remote) in browser

Setup

1. Install Dependencies

pip install -e .

Or with uv (faster):

uv pip install -e .

2. Create Access Tokens

For GitHub:

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click "Generate new token (classic)"
3. Give it a name like "PR Reviews MCP"
4. Select scopes:

• repo (for private repositories)
• Or just public_repo (for public repositories only)

1. Generate and copy the token

For Codeberg (optional):

1. Go to https://codeberg.org/user/settings/applications
2. Click "Generate New Token"
3. Give it a name like "PR Reviews MCP"
4. Select scopes:

• read:repository (minimum)
• Or write:repository (if you plan to add write features later)

1. Generate and copy the token

3. Configure Environment

cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your tokens (at least one is required)

You need at least one token configured (GitHub or Codeberg) depending on which platforms you want to use.

4. Add to Cursor

Add this to your Cursor MCP settings (~/.cursor/mcp.json or workspace settings):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pr-reviews": {
      "command": "python",
      "args": ["-m", "pr_reviews_mcp.server"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here",
        "CODEBERG_TOKEN": "your_codeberg_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Or if using uv:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "pr-reviews": {
      "command": "uvx",
      "args": ["--from", "/Users/ryanli/Documents/GitHub/issues-mcp", "pr-reviews-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "your_github_token_here",
        "CODEBERG_TOKEN": "your_codeberg_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

Usage in Cursor

Once configured, you can ask Cursor things like:

• "Check the PR at https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123 for change requests"
• "What's the review status of https://codeberg.org/owner/repo/pulls/456?"
• "Show me all conversations on this PR"
• "Show me the diff for https://github.com/owner/repo/pull/123"
• "View the changes in https://codeberg.org/owner/repo/commit/abc123"
• "Show me my uncommitted changes"
• "View my staged changes"
• "Compare my branch to origin/main"

The MCP server will fetch:

• ✅ All reviews (approved, changes requested, comments)
• 💬 Code-level review comments
• 📝 General PR conversation comments
• ⚠️ Change requests with reviewer feedback
• 🎨 Beautiful diff viewer with GitHub-style UI

See [EXAMPLES.md](EXAMPLES.md) for more detailed usage examples and sample outputs.

pip install -e .
python3 test_platforms.py

Platform Support

GitHub

• Full support for all PR reviews, comments, and conversations
• Uses PyGithub library for robust API access
• Requires GITHUB_TOKEN environment variable

Codeberg

• Full support via Gitea API (Codeberg runs on Gitea)
• Direct REST API calls using httpx
• Requires CODEBERG_TOKEN environment variable
• Review state names slightly differ (REQUEST_CHANGES vs CHANGES_REQUESTED)

Both platforms provide the same features:

• ✅ Review approvals
• ❌ Change requests
• 💬 Code-level review comments with file paths
• 📝 General PR discussion threads
