Describe the bug

The owner and repo parameters for the search_pull_requests and search_issues tools refer to notifications. Looks to be a simple copy paste error. See this code search.

In practice, I've found models will prefer to add a repo:myorg/myrepo to the query instead of just using these parameters. I would suspect the references to notifications are a factor.

Affected version

GitHub MCP Server
Version: main
Commit: 521d5e92581059aedec80898788e74e341b91ae8
Build Date: 2025-08-07T00:45:01Z

Steps to reproduce the behavior

  1. List tools available on the server. Note the incorrect parameters descriptions for search_issues and search_pull_requests for owner and repo

Expected vs actual behavior

Expected: each tool refers to the correct resource being searched

Actual: issues, notifications, and pull request search tools refer to searching notifications


I don't have permission to assign myself but I'll follow up with a PR since it's a tiny fix.
