Repository navigation
list_issues returns Pull Requests as well #334
Description
Describe the bug
The list_issues tool seems to return Pull Requests as well.
Affected version
server version v0.1.1 (7ab5d96) 2025-04-07T16:05:06Z
Steps to reproduce the behavior
- Add the MCP to you agent
- Ask them to list the issues in a repository that has Pull Requests open
- Observe the Pull Requests in the response of the tool call
Expected behavior
I expect list_issues to only return issues and list_pull_requests to only return pull requests.
Actual behavior
list_issues returns issues AND pull requests.

The API appears to do this, and I agree it would be better if it were cleanly split so the PR tools work with PRs and the issues tools only work with issues, so it's simpler for the LLM to comprehend. Thanks for your report.

Hi @Peetee06, thank you for raising this.
We now have separate "Issues" and "Pull Requests" tools so the agent can search, get, list comments etc for each type without getting confused. These are available in Local GitHub MCP server (>=v0.6.0) and the Remote GitHub MCP server.
But please let us know if you're still experiencing any problems with this :)
