search_climate_issuesLABSCO SUMMARY
A shortlist instead of a search page.
The hard part of contributing to climate software is not willingness, it is finding an issue that fits your language and your afternoon. Category, language and keyword filters over a curated index do that in one call.
What it is
An MCP server over the ClimateTriage API, which indexes open issues across open source projects working on climate change and sustainability.
What you get
- Open issues searched across climate-related projects instead of all of GitHub
- Filtering by project category, such as Climate Change or Energy Systems
- Filtering by programming language, so results match what you actually write
- Filtering by keyword, including 'good first issue' and 'help wanted'
- Sorting by creation date, update date or stars, ascending or descending
- Pagination, so a broad search stays readable
Requirements
One npx entry in the client config, straight from the git repository — no build step. No account and no key: it reads the public ClimateTriage API at https://ost.ecosyste.ms/api/v1.
Setup effort
One command — npx -y git+https://github.com/Codeshark-NET/climate-triage-mcp.git
USE CASES
Finding a first contribution in a field you care about
Search issues tagged as beginner-friendly inside climate projects, rather than trawling GitHub topics.
Filtering down to the language you write
Restrict results to Python or JavaScript so the shortlist is work you could start today.
Seeing what opened this week
Sort by creation date, newest first, to catch issues before someone else takes them.
Picking projects with some weight behind them
Sort by stars when you would rather contribute somewhere that will still be maintained next year.
