GiitHub Integration fetch_pull_request Tool Fails Despite Successful Authentication

[zomars (Omar López)]

Describe the Bug

The fetch_pull_request tool consistently fails with the error message “Pull request #[number] not found. GitHub connection required.” even when:

• GitHub is successfully connected in Cursor UI (shows “Congratulations, you’re all set!”)
• GitHub CLI is fully authenticated and working
• The pull request exists and is accessible via GitHub API
• User has proper repository permissions

Steps to Reproduce

1. Connect GitHub account in Cursor (Settings → GitHub Integration)
2. Complete device activation successfully (receives “Congratulations, you’re all set!”)
3. Attempt to use fetch_pull_request tool on any existing PR
4. Tool fails with “GitHub connection required” error

Expected Behavior

fetch_pull_request should successfully retrieve pull request data when GitHub is connected and authenticated.
