GitHub org structure

Discovering teams

The get_teams MCP tool only returns teams the authenticated user is a member of. To list all teams in the coopnorge org, use the gh CLI:

gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams --paginate --jq '.[] | {slug: .slug, name: .name, description: .description, members_url: .members_url}'

For a simple slug list:

gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams --paginate --jq '.[].slug'

Listing members of a team

Use the MCP get_team_members tool:

• org: coopnorge
• team_slug: <slug>

Or via gh CLI:

gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams/<slug>/members --paginate --jq '.[].login'

Finding which teams a user belongs to

gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams --paginate --jq '.[] | select(.slug) | .slug' \
  | xargs -I{} sh -c 'gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams/{}/members --jq ".[].login" | grep -q "<username>" && echo {}'

Or use get_teams with the user parameter for the target GitHub login.

Listing repositories owned/accessible by a team

gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams/<slug>/repos --paginate --jq '.[] | {name: .name, permission: .permissions}'

Limitations and CLI fallbacks

Limitation	MCP workaround	gh CLI fallback
get_teams only returns teams the authed user belongs to	None	gh api /orgs/coopnorge/teams --paginate
No org-level member list tool	Search by user	gh api /orgs/coopnorge/members --paginate
No team permission management	N/A	gh api PATCH endpoints

When using gh api for write operations, confirm with the user before executing — these calls mutate org state and cannot be undone via the MCP.
