Overview

List issues

MCPlist_issuesREAD$0.06 / call

List the GitHub issues on this project's repository — the work that is open on it, and what has been closed. Call this BEFORE create_issue: an issue that duplicates an open one is worse than no issue. Pull requests are never included. An empty list means the tracker is genuinely empty — never invent an issue number. This answers WHAT, not what to do about it. If you have not already got the method from docsbook_expert, get it first: it names which readings answer this question, what to compare them against, and what would make the conclusion wrong. One call, changes nothing.

Arguments
workspace_idstringoptional

Workspace ID (optional when MCP endpoint is auto-scoped). Numeric workspace id — OR the project as the user names it: 'owner/repo', the repo name alone, the site's display name, its docs URL or custom domain. Text is resolved server-side; an ambiguous name returns the candidates instead of guessing, so pass what the user said rather than calling list_workspaces first.

statestringoptional

Which issues to return. Default 'open'. One of: open, closed, all.

labelsstring[]optional

Only issues carrying ALL of these labels, e.g. ['measure'].

limitnumberoptional

How many to return, 1-100. Default 30.

Try it over REST#

The same tool is callable as a plain HTTP request, no MCP client required. It runs on the same server, at the same price.

Your workspace is resolved from the API key, so workspace_id is decided server-side here and anything you send for it is ignored.

POST/api/v1/tools/list_issues
Authorization
Authorizationstringrequired

Your API key, sent as Authorization: Bearer dbk_YOUR_API_KEY.Sent as the Authorization header. Your key is used only by your browser for this request — it is never sent to Docsbook or stored.

Body
argsobject

The arguments above, as one JSON object.
