GitHub MCP
Anthropic
Access the GitHub API to manage repositories, issues, pull requests, branches, and workflows directly from your AI editor.
The nerve center of any open source project. Triage issues, review PRs, manage releases, and respond to contributors — all inline.
Linear MCP
Community
Manage Linear issues, projects, cycles, and teams. Create, update, and search issues directly from your AI editor.
Track roadmap items and milestones beyond GitHub Issues. Gives maintainers a private planning layer on top of the public repo.
Slack MCP (Official)
Anthropic
Official MCP server for Slack. Send and read messages, manage channels, and search conversations from your AI editor.
Most OSS communities live on Slack or Discord. Stay responsive to contributor questions without leaving your coding flow.
Sentry MCP
Sentry
Query Sentry for error tracking, performance monitoring, and issue management directly from your AI editor.
When users file vague bug reports, Sentry gives you the real stack trace. Triage issues faster with actual error data.
Notion MCP
Community
Access and manage Notion pages, databases, and blocks. Create content, query databases, and organize your workspace from your AI editor.
Maintain internal docs, RFC drafts, and governance notes. The stuff that doesn't belong in a GitHub README.
