Summary

Adds 5 new MCP tools (get_stack, list_stacks, link_stack, update_stack, dissolve_stack) to the pull_requests toolset to support native GitHub Stacked PRs.

Why

Agents managing stacked/dependent PRs currently lack a first-class way to discover, create, update, and dissolve native GitHub Stacked PR objects via MCP without needing host gh CLI access.
Fixes #2905

What changed

  • Added pkg/github/pullrequests_stacks.go implementing get_stack, list_stacks, link_stack, update_stack, and dissolve_stack.
  • Registered all 5 Stacked PR tools in pkg/github/tools.go under ToolsetMetadataPullRequests.
  • Updated generatePullRequestsToolsetInstructions in pkg/github/toolset_instructions.go with stacked PR guidance.
  • Added unit test suite in pkg/github/pullrequests_stacks_test.go.

MCP impact

  • New tool added
    Added get_stack, list_stacks, link_stack, update_stack, and dissolve_stack tools under the pull_requests toolset.

Prompts tested (tool changes only)

Security / limits

  • Auth / permissions considered
    Requires standard repo OAuth scope matching other pull request management tools.

Tool renaming

  • I am renaming tools as part of this PR (e.g. a part of a consolidation effort)
    • I have added the new tool aliases in deprecated_tool_aliases.go
  • I am not renaming tools as part of this PR

Lint & tests

  • Tested locally with ./script/test
    Added unit tests covering tool definitions, input schemas, and HTTP API execution handlers.

Docs

  • Updated (README / docs / examples)
    Updated toolset instructions for pull_requests.

Thanks for working on this — native stacked-PR support would be genuinely useful for us. We use agents to maintain dependent, reviewable PRs in a monorepo and currently have to mark and resynchronise GitHub stacks manually.

I tested this branch against current main and compared it with GitHub’s published Stacked Pull Requests REST API. It looks like it now needs rebasing and some API updates:

  • It no longer compiles against the current go-github/v89 request signatures.
  • GitHub documents the request field as pull_requests, rather than pull_numbers.
  • The documented mutations are POST /stacks/{stack_number}/add and POST /stacks/{stack_number}/unstack; the current PATCH and DELETE calls don’t appear to exist.
  • The response model differs from the documented schema, including number, base.ref, and nested pull-request refs.
  • The implementation should confirm support for API version 2026-03-10.

I’d be happy to help rebase and update this. Would the author and maintainers prefer contributions to this branch, or a replacement PR preserving attribution?
