Tool Request : Search Commit Tool

[Not-Dhananjay-Mishra]

Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

Currently, the GitHub MCP Server lacks a dedicated tool for searching through commit history using specialized search syntax. Requesting a new search_commits tool

Proposed solution

This tool wraps the GitHub Search Commits API via the go-github library.

Example prompts or workflows (for tools/toolsets only)

• Search for all commits in the 'github/github-mcp-server' repository that mention 'vulnerability' or 'fix' in the last 6 months
• Find all commits authored by 'github' across the organization that were committed after 2024-01-01.
• Find the most recent commit that modified the search.go file with a message containing 'refactor'.
• Search for commits in 'owner/repo' that are tagged with '[RELEASE]' to summarize recent major changes.
