GitHub Actions Management via MCP

Use this skill when you need to check CI/CD status, read workflow logs, re-run failed jobs, or trigger deployments.

Available Tools

Tool What it does
list_workflows List all workflow files in a repository
list_runs List workflow runs (filter by workflow or status)
get_run Get details of a specific workflow run
get_run_logs Get the logs URL for a run (zip download)
rerun_workflow Re-run an entire workflow run
rerun_failed_jobs Re-run only the failed jobs from a run
cancel_run Cancel an in-progress or queued run
list_artifacts List artifacts produced by a workflow run
trigger_workflow Trigger a workflow via workflow_dispatch

Workflow

  1. Use list_runs with owner and repo to see recent runs and their status
  2. For failed runs: get_run for details, then decide whether to rerun_failed_jobs or investigate logs
  3. trigger_workflow requires the workflow file name and a branch — the workflow must have a workflow_dispatch trigger

Key Patterns

  • All tools require owner and repo parameters (e.g., owner: "ofershap", repo: "my-project")
  • list_runs supports status filter: "completed", "in_progress", "queued", "failure", "success"
  • rerun_failed_jobs is preferred over rerun_workflow — it's faster and cheaper
  • trigger_workflow needs workflow_id (filename like "ci.yml") and ref (branch name)

Safety

  • Prefer rerun_failed_jobs over full rerun_workflow to avoid unnecessary compute
  • Confirm before cancel_run — the user may want the run to finish
  • trigger_workflow can trigger deployments — always confirm the target branch
