## Usage
The GitHub Workflow Debugger MCP is designed to be used with AI assistants that support the Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides several tools that can be used to diagnose and fix GitHub Actions workflow failures.
### Required Permissions
To use this tool, you'll need a GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT) with the following permissions:
- `repo` - Full control of private repositories
- `workflow` - Update GitHub Action workflows
You must set this token as an environment variable named `GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN`.
### Configuration
When using this tool with an MCP-compatible client, you can configure it as follows:
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"github": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-github"
],
"env": {
"GITHUB_PERSONAL_ACCESS_TOKEN": "<YOUR_TOKEN>"
}
}
}
}
```
Replace `<YOUR_TOKEN>` with your GitHub Personal Access Token.
### Available Tools
1. **get-failed-workflow-runs** - Fetches recent failed workflow runs for a repository
2. **get-workflow-run-jobs** - Gets jobs for a specific workflow run
3. **get-workflow-file** - Retrieves the content of a workflow file
4. **update-workflow-file** - Updates a workflow file with fixes
5. **analyze-workflow-failure** - Analyzes a failed workflow run and suggests fixes
### Example Usage

```
2. Analyze a specific failed run:
```
Can you analyze workflow run #123456 and suggest fixes?
```
3. View the workflow file:
```
Show me the content of the workflow file at .github/workflows/main.yml
```
4. Update the workflow file with fixes:
