Note: If you have mcporter installed locally, you should use mcporter to invoke the MCP tool instead of directly calling the MCP tool. The mcporter CLI provides a more convenient interface and better error handling.

Close Issue Flow via Gitee MCP

Execute the complete Issue closing workflow: verify the fix is merged → post a closing comment → update the Issue status.

Prerequisites

• Gitee MCP Server configured (tools: get_repo_issue_detail, list_repo_pulls, create_comment (resource_type: issue), update_issue)
• User must provide: repository owner, repository name, Issue number
• Typically run after the related PR has been merged or the problem has been resolved

Steps

Step 1: Fetch Issue Details

Use get_repo_issue_detail to retrieve Issue information:

• Title, description, labels
• Current state (check if it's already closed)
• Existing comments (to understand how it was resolved)

If the Issue is already closed, notify the user and stop.

Step 2: Confirm Linked PR Status

Use list_repo_pulls to query the repository's PRs, filtering for:

• State: merged
• Description containing closes #[issue number] or fixes #[issue number]

Based on the results:

• If a merged linked PR is found → confirm the fix is live
• If the related PR is still open → notify the user that the PR has not been merged yet
• If no linked PR exists → ask the user how the Issue was resolved

Step 3: Post Closing Comment

Use create_comment (resource_type: issue) to post a closing note. Choose the appropriate template:

When a linked PR was merged:

This issue has been fixed and merged via PR #[number].

**Fix summary**: [brief description of the fix]

Thanks for the report! If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue or submit a new one.

When resolved directly (no PR):

This issue has been resolved.

**Solution**: [description of how it was resolved]

If the problem persists, feel free to reopen this issue or submit a new one.

When unable to reproduce or request was declined:

[Explanation, e.g., "Unable to reproduce this issue" or "After discussion, we've decided not to implement this feature at this time."]

If you have new information, feel free to reopen the issue with additional details.

Step 4: Close the Issue

Use update_issue to update the Issue state:

• state: closed

Optionally:

• Update labels (e.g., add fixed or resolved)
• Assign to a milestone (add to a completed milestone)

Step 5: Output Summary

## Issue Closed

- Issue: #[number] [title]
- Reason: [Fixed / Cannot reproduce / Declined]
- Linked PR: #[number] (if any)
- Closing comment posted ✅
- Issue status updated to closed ✅

Notes

• Always confirm the issue is genuinely resolved before closing, to avoid premature closure
• When closing a bug reported by a user, thank them for the report
• When declining a feature request, explain the reason and close politely
• Using closes #N in a PR description will auto-close the Issue on merge — this skill is for cases where manual closure or an explanatory comment is needed
