claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix resolve_review_thread unusable — get_review_comments omits PRRT thread node IDs (anthropics/github-mcp-server ~644 commits behind upstream fix) [1 comments, 2 participants]

What's Wrong?

When using Claude Code with the GitHub MCP integration, resolve_review_thread cannot be used programmatically. The tool requires a GraphQL thread node ID in the format PRRT_kwDO..., but no available pull_request_read method exposes this ID.

get_review_comments returns comment bodies, paths, positions, and other metadata — but omits the threadId node ID. Since resolve_review_thread accepts only a thread_id parameter, there is no way to obtain the required value through the MCP toolset alone. The tool is effectively dead code for any agentic workflow.

What Should Happen?

get_review_comments (or a dedicated list_review_threads tool) should return the thread node ID (PRRT_kwDO...) for each review thread, so that resolve_review_thread can be called successfully.

Error Messages/Logs

Steps to Reproduce

1. Use the GitHub MCP tool get_review_comments on any PR with review threads
2. Inspect the response — it contains comment bodies, paths, and positions but no PRRT_* thread node ID
3. Attempt to call resolve_review_thread — there is no way to supply the required thread_id parameter from any available read tool

Additional Information

Root Cause

This is a dependency on anthropics/github-mcp-server being out of sync with upstream.

The fix was already merged upstream as github/github-mcp-server PR #1919 ("Feat/resolve review threads") on March 13, 2026, which resolved upstream issue #1768.

However, anthropics/github-mcp-server (Claude Code's bundled GitHub MCP fork) is currently ~644 commits behind upstream and has not pulled in this fix.

Action Needed

Sync anthropics/github-mcp-server with upstream to pick up PR #1919.
