GitHub pull requests and Actions on an Apple TV dashboard for your office display

GitHub is where the work actually lands, but the state of it lives in a dozen tabs. Dance Party reads your repositories through GitHub's own read-only MCP server and builds an Apple TV dashboard for the engineering office display: pull requests waiting on review, whether main is green in GitHub Actions, and the release that just went out.

  • Read-only
  • OAuth connection
  • One connection per workspace

What teams running GitHub put on the screen, and what you would ask DJ Agent to get it.

Pull requests waiting on review

For the engineering team

A review queue grows quietly, because each engineer only sees their own requests. A list of open PRs sorted oldest first, with anything past three days in red, gets reviews picked up at standup instead of at the end of the sprint.

  • Open pull requests awaiting review, oldest first
  • Age of each PR and its repository
  • Draft PRs left out, so the list is only work ready to review
  • Count of PRs open longer than three days

Ask DJ Agent“List open non-draft GitHub pull requests in our org awaiting review, oldest first, with repo and age, and mark any older than 3 days red.”

Is main green?

For engineers and whoever is running the deploy

A failed workflow on main blocks everyone who merges after it. One tile per GitHub Actions workflow, red the moment the latest run fails, turns a broken build into a two-minute fix instead of an afternoon mystery.

  • Latest GitHub Actions run on the default branch for each workflow
  • Run conclusion: success, failure, or in progress
  • How long ago each run finished

Ask DJ Agent“Show the latest GitHub Actions run on main for each workflow in acme/api, acme/web, and acme/mobile as status tiles, red when it failed.”

Merged pull requests per day

For engineering managers and the team

Team throughput is worth watching; individual PR counts are not. Merges per day across the org show a steady week or a stuck one without ranking engineers against each other on a shared screen.

  • Pull requests merged each day over the last two weeks
  • Total merged this week
  • Merges per repository

Ask DJ Agent“Show GitHub pull requests merged per day across our org for the last 10 working days, with this week's total on top.”

Latest release

For the whole company

Shipping is the thing the rest of the company rarely sees happen. The newest GitHub release, with its tag and who published it, gives sales and support a heads-up and the team a moment of credit.

  • Latest release per repository, with tag and name
  • Who published it and when
  • Releases published this month

Ask DJ Agent“Celebrate the newest GitHub release in acme/web with its tag and who published it, and count releases this month.”

What Dance Party reads from GitHub

Dance Party reads GitHub through GitHub's own remote MCP server, on its read-only endpoint, and blocks any tool that would write. It sees the repositories and organizations the connecting GitHub user can see.

How to connect GitHub

Before you start

  • An owner or admin of your Dance Party workspace makes the GitHub connection.
  • A GitHub account that can see the repositories you want on screen
  • For private organization repositories, an organization owner's approval if the org restricts OAuth app access
  1. 1
    Open the Integrations page in Dance Party and scroll to GitHub.
  2. 2
    Click Connect GitHub. GitHub opens its Authorize page for Dance Party.
  3. 3
    Next to each organization you want to show, click Grant if you are an owner, or Request to ask one.
  4. 4
    Click Authorize. GitHub sends you back and the card shows Connected.

One GitHub connection per workspace

A workspace holds one GitHub connection, made by one GitHub user. That one sign-in covers every organization the user belongs to and has granted, so a company with several GitHub orgs usually needs only one connection.

GitHub's consent screen asks for access to private repositories (the repo scope), because GitHub's MCP server needs it to see them. Dance Party only uses the read-only MCP endpoint and blocks write tools. Revoke it any time under Settings, Applications, Authorized OAuth Apps in GitHub.

From GitHub to your office display

Once GitHub shows Connected, the rest happens in plain English. No code, no drag-and-drop.

  1. 1. Describe it. Tell DJ Agent what you want to see.

GitHub dashboard questions

Can GitHub pull requests show on a TV in the engineering area?

Yes. Connect GitHub, ask DJ Agent for the PRs you care about, and assign the dashboard to an Apple TV running Dance Party. It refreshes on the interval you choose, as often as every 5 minutes.

Why does GitHub ask for full repo access?

GitHub's OAuth has no read-only scope for private repositories, so its MCP server needs repo. Dance Party connects to that server's read-only endpoint and refuses any tool that writes.

Can it show private repositories in our organization?

Yes, once the organization allows it. If your org restricts OAuth apps, an owner grants Dance Party on GitHub's authorize page or approves the request afterward.

Can I show GitHub Actions status for several repositories?

Yes. Name the repositories and workflows, and each one gets its own tile with its latest run on the branch you pick.

Should I put a per-engineer PR leaderboard on the wall?

Usually not. Team-level numbers, like merges per day and PRs waiting on review, read well on a shared screen, while per-person counts tend to reward the wrong things.

Can Dance Party merge, comment on, or close anything in GitHub?

No. It reads through the read-only endpoint only. It cannot merge a pull request, comment, re-run a workflow, or close an issue.
