StandupBot MCP

"What did I even do yesterday?" — solved.

StandupBot is a free Model Context Protocol server that connects Claude to your GitHub activity. Ask Claude for your standup and it pulls the last 24h of commits, PRs, reviews, and issues — formatted and ready to paste into Slack.

Tools

Tool	What it does
`get_standup`	Your personal standup — commits, PRs, reviews, issues in the last N hours
`get_standup_multi`	Team standup — same thing for a list of GitHub usernames
`get_repo_pulse`	Recent activity on any public or private repo

Quick Start

1. Get a GitHub token

Go to GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens → Tokens (classic).

Create a token with these scopes:

repo (to see private repos)
read:user

2. Add to Claude Code

Add this to your Claude Code config (~/.claude/claude_desktop_config.json for Claude Desktop, or .claude/settings.json for Claude Code CLI):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "standupbot": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "standupbot-mcp"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_your_token_here"
      }
    }
  }
}

3. Ask Claude

Give me my standup for the last 24 hours. My GitHub username is alice.

Generate a team standup for usernames: alice, bob, carol

What's been happening in the facebook/react repo today?

Environment Variables

You can set GITHUB_TOKEN as an env var in your MCP config and omit it from tool calls:

"env": { "GITHUB_TOKEN": "ghp_..." }

The tool will fall back to the env var automatically if no token is passed.

Privacy

Your token is stored only in your local config file.
StandupBot makes direct HTTPS calls to api.github.com — no proxy, no telemetry, no servers.
