Oss Issues MCP runs on your own machine — the client starts it, so there is no endpoint to ping. 84 installs a week from pypi. Last commit 1 Aug 2026.
MCP server with derived GitHub issue tools: normalized fetch, new-issue watch, claim status.
Today is the operative word: we check Oss Issues MCP every 15 minutes and re-read its code on every release. Watch it and you find out the day that stops being true.
