AI Code Review

Summary

This PR adds a basic MCP server implementation with stdio transport and credential helpers. The implementation is minimal but functional, with good test coverage for the core functionality.

Confidence: 0.00 (low)
This PR may require human review

Strengths

  • Good separation of concerns with credential helpers
  • Proper async/await usage for server operations
  • Clean entry point configuration in pyproject.toml
  • Good test coverage for credential helper functions
  • Proper error handling with descriptive error messages

Issues Found

Major (3)

src/pr_review_agent/mcp/server.py:12 - logic

The get_github_token function returns an empty string when GITHUB_TOKEN is not set, but then checks if the token is falsy. This creates inconsistent behavior - it should either return None or use a different check.
Suggestion: Either return None when the environment variable is not set, or check specifically for empty strings

src/pr_review_agent/mcp/server.py:20 - logic

Same issue as get_github_token - inconsistent handling of missing environment variables
Suggestion: Use consistent pattern for environment variable checking

tests/test_mcp_server.py:1 - testing

Missing test coverage for the actual server functionality - run_server() and main() functions are not tested. The server instance is created but never actually tested for MCP protocol compliance.
Suggestion: Add integration tests that verify the MCP server can handle basic protocol messages and that run_server() and main() work correctly

Minor (2)

src/pr_review_agent/mcp/server.py:7 - logic

The server instance is created at module level but the credential functions are never called, so credentials aren't validated until runtime
Suggestion: Consider validating credentials when the server starts or documenting that credentials are only validated on demand

src/pr_review_agent/mcp/server.py:26 - documentation

The run_server function lacks documentation about what it does and how it integrates with the MCP protocol
Suggestion: Add docstring explaining the server lifecycle and stdio transport usage

Concerns

  • The MCP server doesn't implement any actual tools or capabilities - it's just a skeleton
  • No integration testing of the actual MCP protocol functionality
  • Environment variable handling pattern is inconsistent
  • Missing validation that the server can actually communicate via MCP protocol

Questions

  • What tools or capabilities will this MCP server implement for PR review functionality?
  • Should the credential validation happen at server startup or on-demand?
  • Are there plans to add configuration options beyond environment variables?
  • How will this integrate with the existing PR review agent functionality?
