Description

TL;DR

Currently some workflows that add comments to issues rely on the gh CLI because of its ability to edit its last comment, allowing the agent to post a checklist and then subsequently check those boxes as it accomplishes tasks.

This issue tracks doing that all with the GitHub MCP, which has a dependency on the GitHub MCP supporting this --edit-last functionality, which is tracked in https://github.com/github/github-mcp-server/issues/980

Research direction

Review the workflows that add comments and the dependency on github/github-mcp-server issue 980. The work is complete when those workflows use GitHub MCP instead of the gh CLI for comment updates, once the required edit-last functionality is available.
