### Describe the feature or problem you'd like to solve
There is no MCP equivalent for enabling auto-merge on a pull request (`gh pr merge --auto --squash`). This is a common workflow step after CI passes and approvals are in place.
Currently the only way to enable auto-merge via MCP clients is to fall back to `gh` CLI, which breaks the MCP-first workflow pattern and causes permission prompt friction in tools like Claude Code.
### Proposed solution
Add an `enable_auto_merge` method (or similar) to the pull request write tools. The GitHub GraphQL API exposes the [`enablePullRequestAutoMerge`](https://docs.github.com/en/graphql/reference/mutations#enablepullrequestautomerge) mutation:
```graphql
mutation($pullRequestId: ID!, $mergeMethod: PullRequestMergeMethod!) {
enablePullRequestAutoMerge(input: {
pullRequestId: $pullRequestId
mergeMethod: $mergeMethod
}) {
pullRequest { autoMergeRequest { enabledAt mergeMethod } }
}
}
```
Parameters:
- `owner` (required): Repository owner
- `repo` (required): Repository name
- `pullNumber` (required): PR number
- `mergeMethod` (optional): MERGE, SQUASH, or REBASE (default to repo setting)
A corresponding `disablePullRequestAutoMerge` mutation exists and could be included.
### Example prompts or workflows
1. "Enable auto-merge on PR #123 with squash"
2. "Once CI passes, auto-merge this PR"
3. "Set up auto-merge for all my approved PRs"
### Additional context
The existing `merge_pull_request` tool handles immediate merges, but auto-merge is a distinct operation — it queues the merge to happen automatically once all required status checks and approvals are satisfied. This is particularly useful in CI-heavy repos where PRs can't be merged until checks complete.
