github-mcp-server supports singular Project Issue Field updates

Introduced 2026-08-10 · score 0.96

HOW TO USE IT

When updating one field on a Project issue, call `projects_write` with `method: "update_project_item"` and a single `updated_field` using the field name and value. Identify the item by `item_id` or by its repository owner, repository name, and issue number.

{"method":"update_project_item","owner":"<project-owner>","project_number":<project-number>,"item_id":<item-id>,"updated_field":{"name":"<field-name>","value":"<value>"}}

WHY THIS HELPS

Update one Project Issue Field value in a GitHub project.

REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  • Version: v1.9.0
  • method (required): Set to `update_project_item`.
  • owner (required): Project owner’s user or organization login.
  • project_number (required): Project number for this update.
  • item_id (required): Project item ID. Use this or the complete issue-reference set: `item_owner`, `item_repo`, and `issue_number`.
  • item_owner (required): Repository owner when resolving the item by issue; use with `item_repo` and `issue_number`, instead of `item_id`.
  • item_repo (required): Repository name when resolving the item by issue; use with `item_owner` and `issue_number`, instead of `item_id`.
  • issue_number (required): Issue number when resolving the item; use with `item_owner` and `item_repo`, instead of `item_id`.
  • updated_field (required): Object containing the field selector and value. For a name-based update, provide `name` and `value`.
  • updated_field.name (required): Project field name; matching is case-insensitive. For SINGLE_SELECT fields, this name form accepts option names.
  • updated_field.value (required): Value to apply; `null` clears the field. Singular Issue Field updates support TEXT, NUMBER, DATE, and SINGLE_SELECT values; single-select option-name matching is case-insensitive.
  • Prerequisite: Use github-mcp-server v1.9.0 or later; the release includes singular Project Issue Field updates.
  • Prerequisite: The tool requires the `project` OAuth scope.
