GitHub Actions Failure MCP
An MCP server that gives coding agents structured access to failed GitHub Actions runs, logs, jobs, annotations, and changed files. It lets an agent debug CI from the failure record instead of asking the founder to paste a huge log.
🎯The Problem
A CI run fails after an agent-generated change, and the founder spends 10 minutes copying the relevant log chunk back into the agent. The log has thousands of lines, the useful error is buried in one job, and the agent cannot see the workflow file or the exact commit context unless it is spoon-fed. The result is a slow fix loop where the human becomes a log courier.
💡The Solution
Authenticate with GitHub, fetch failed workflow runs, slice logs around errors, and expose the workflow, job metadata, annotations, artifacts, and commit diff through MCP tools. The agent can ask for the latest failed run, inspect the exact failing job, and request only the 80 lines around the error.
👥Target Users
Indie devs and small teams of 1-10 who use GitHub Actions and want AI coding agents to fix failing tests, builds, deploy previews, or linters with real CI context.
