GitHub ACTION
Get Issue
Get the full details of a single issue: title, body, state, labels, assignees, milestone, comment count, and timestamps. Provide the repository as an
owner/repo string and the issue number. If you only know the issue by title or topic, call Search Issues and Pull Requests first to resolve its number. See the documentation- Action

IMPLEMENTATION
Call this tool
Connect a user's GitHub account once, then configure and run Get Issue from your backend or agent.
import { PipedreamClient } from "@pipedream/sdk"
const pd = new PipedreamClient({
projectId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_PROJECT_ID!,
clientId: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_ID!,
clientSecret: process.env.PIPEDREAM_CLIENT_SECRET!,
projectEnvironment: "production",
})
const result = await pd.actions.run({
id: "github-get-issue",
externalUserId: "{external_user_id}", // any stable ID for this user in your system
configuredProps: {
github: { authProvisionId: "apn_xxxxxxx" },
repoFullname: "Repository",
issueNumber: 10,
},
})
console.log(result)curl -X POST https://api.pipedream.com/v1/connect/{project_id}/actions/run \

const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(

const mcp = new Client({ name: "my-agent", version: "1.0.0" })
await mcp.connect(transport)
const { tools } = await mcp.listTools()

// fill the arguments itself:

Inputs
Pipedream supplies the connected account. Your application provides the operation-specific values below. Dynamic inputs are resolved against that user's account.
| Property | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
repoFullname Repository | string | The repository in owner/repo format, for example PipedreamHQ/pipedream (not case sensitive). If you pass just a repository name with no owner (e.g. my-repo), the authenticated user is assumed as the owner — convenient for "my repo" requests. Do NOT repeat the repository name as the owner (e.g. my-repo/my-repo); if you don't know the owner, pass only the name or run List Repositories to find it. Required |
issueNumber Issue Number | integer | The issue number — the #N shown in the GitHub UI, not the global issue ID. Use Search Issues and Pull Requests or Get Issue to find it when you only know the title. Required |
REFERENCE
Tool details
Behavior hints are published with the component in the Pipedream registry and surface as MCP tool annotations, so an agent can reason about a tool before it calls it.
