Add support for Projects

[toby]

From @LadyNaggaga:

Add support for get_project_board or analyze_project_board tool where devs , leads, PMs can look at the status of work item in copilot.

Just to connect the two tasks: #117

I have a basic implementation working locally based on the original modelcontextprotocol repo. I'll try to work on getting it ported to this new repo.

I'd like the ability to add issues to a project. Right now when I create issues via the MCP server project is not specified. Is this a completely different request? Happy to create a different issue.

At Arclio, we're excited to share Github Projects MCP Server to manage projects. We also needed this functionality for our own projects, so we created this MCP Server which is open-source:
https://github.com/Arclio/github-projects-mcp

This MCP server lets you:

• List and manage Projects V2 for users/orgs
• Work with project items (issues, PRs, drafts)
• Create issues and add them to projects
• Update project item fields i.e moving a ticket across the board.

Feel free to check it out and give a star if you find it helpful or interesting.

Will this support status for items in a project, start and end dates?

Statuses very from project to project, and are not shared across projects at an org level.
Dates tend to also have a variety of labeling names
Labels: Start, End, Start date, End Date, Target Date, Delivery Date

Will the tool calls be flexible enough to service prompts like:

• Tell me whats over due this week?
• Write me a weekly update on progress this week?
• Tell me what team member has too much work on their plate? (this should look for # of assigned issues, any custom fields around priority, story points, number of sub issues and progress etc?

Thanks for sharing this! It would be awesome if this functionality could be upstreamed
