Knowing a PR exists and knowing what's in it are two different things. Port now supports the GitHub MCP Server so developers can access pull request descriptions, comments, and commit history directly from Port AI, alongside the service ownership and scorecard context in Port's catalog. Platform engineers define exactly which GitHub tools are available. Read-only by default. Users authenticate with their GitHub credentials.

This is a genuinely useful direction for platform teams. The value isn't just connecting more tools but reducing the architectural drag that comes with stitching them together one by one.
