About This MCP Server
The descriptions of the tools can be overridden by creating a omnigit-mcp-config.json file in the same directory as the binary.
In addition to translation overrides, the same config file can also define a filter_patterns array (Go regex patterns) used to filter out unwanted trailers
By default, the server filters:
You can create an export of the current translations by running the binary with the --export-translations flag.
This flag will preserve any translations/overrides you have made (and will keep any existing filter_patterns), while adding any new translations that have been added to the binary since the last time you exported.
You can also use ENV vars to override the descriptions. The environment variable names are the same as the keys in the JSON file, prefixed with GITHUB_MCP_ and all uppercase.
For example, to override the TOOL_ADD_ISSUE_COMMENT_DESCRIPTION tool, you can set the following environment variable:
