What does closePullRequest do?

Close an open pull request on a connected GitHub repo, the rail lever for a superseded or abandoned PR. It is one of the tools The Cloud MCP server gives every connected AI.

How do I use closePullRequest from Claude or ChatGPT?

Connect your AI to The Cloud at https://mcp.thecloud.so/mcp and sign in once. Then ask Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor or any AI connected to The Cloud "close PR N", and it calls closePullRequest.

Is closePullRequest safe to let an AI call?

closePullRequest widens who can see or receive something, so the owner approves every call explicitly. An AI cannot approve it for itself. It reaches a system outside The Cloud on your behalf.
