3. Work without persistent task tracking on specific issues you
identify
Based on the MCP protocol review I just completed, there are several
high-priority improvements identified. Should I:
- Wait for you to run bd init to set up persistent tracking?
- Create TodoWrite tasks for immediate work on the findings?
- Start working on a specific improvement from the review?

──────╮
│ Rootly MCP Server Improvement Plan
│
│
│
│ What We're Doing
│
│
│
│ We're improving your Rootly MCP server in 6 phases over 6-8 weeks.
The │
│ focus is on security, code quality, testing, and MCP best
practices - │
│ with zero breaking changes for existing users.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ The 6 Stages
│
│
│
│ Stage 1: Fix Critical Security Issues (1 week)
│
│
│
│ What's wrong:
│
│ - Your API tokens are being logged (even partially) which is a
security │
│ risk
│
│ - Error messages contain full stack traces that expose internal
file │
│ paths and implementation details
│
│ - No validation that URLs and tokens are properly formatted before
using│
│ them
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Remove all token logging - just say "token configured" instead
│
│ - Strip stack traces from error responses (log them server-side
only) │
│ - Validate tokens and URLs before using them
│
│ - Add timeout to all network requests
│
│
│
│ Files affected: __main__.py, client.py, server.py, and create new
│
│ security.py
│
│
│
│ Why this matters: These are high-severity security vulnerabilities
that │
│ could expose sensitive data.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Stage 2: Improve Error Handling (1 week)
│
│
│
│ What's wrong:
│
│ - The code catches all exceptions with generic except Exception
(14 │
│ times!)
│
│ - You can't tell what actually went wrong (timeout? auth failure?
│
│ network issue?)
│
│ - Some errors are silently ignored
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Replace broad exception catching with specific exception types
│
│ - Create custom exception classes (RootlyAuthenticationError,
│
│ RootlyNetworkError, etc.)
│
│ - Make error messages consistent and helpful
│
│ - Add a decorator to handle errors automatically
│
│
│
│ Why this matters: Better error handling means easier debugging and
│
│ better error messages for users.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Stage 3: Simplify Complex Code (2 weeks)
│
│
│
│ What's wrong:
│
│ - Some functions are massive: get_oncall_shift_metrics() is 313
lines! │
│ - Same code patterns repeated 3-4 times throughout
│
│ - Hard to understand, test, and maintain
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Break large functions into smaller, focused functions (max 50
lines │
│ each)
│
│ - Extract duplicate code into reusable helpers
│
│ - Replace magic numbers with named constants
│
│ - Split code into logical modules (pagination, metrics,
formatters) │
│
│
│ Example:
│
│ - get_oncall_shift_metrics() (313 lines) → 6 smaller functions
(~50 │
│ lines each)
│
│ - search_incidents() (103 lines) → 3 smaller functions (~30 lines
each) │
│
│
│ Why this matters: Simpler code is easier to understand, test, and
│
│ modify. Less likely to have bugs.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Stage 4: Add Comprehensive Tests (1 week)
│
│
│
│ What's wrong:
│
│ - Overall test coverage is only ~50%
│
│ - Critical files have 0% test coverage:
│
│ - client.py (handles all API requests) - 0 tests
│
│ - __main__.py (entry point) - 0 tests
│
│ - Data processing functions - 0 tests
│
│ - Custom tools only 30% tested
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Add 200+ new tests
│
│ - Get overall coverage to >80% (>90% for critical paths)
│
│ - Add integration tests for complete workflows
│
│ - Add performance benchmarks
│
│
│
│ Why this matters: Tests catch bugs before they reach production
and make│
│ refactoring safer.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Stage 5: MCP Protocol Best Practices (1 week)
│
│
│
│ What's wrong:
│
│ - Tools don't declare their output format (no schemas)
│
│ - Can't cancel long-running operations
│
│ - No prompt definitions (server is tool-only)
│
│ - Missing pagination metadata
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Add typed output schemas to all tools
│
│ - Implement request cancellation
│
│ - Add 5 useful prompts (incident triage, on-call handoff,
postmortem, │
│ etc.)
│
│ - Add pagination metadata to responses
│
│
│
│ Why this matters: Better MCP compliance means better integration
with │
│ Claude and other MCP clients.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Stage 6: Polish & Document (2 weeks)
│
│
│
│ What we'll do:
│
│ - Run automated code formatters (black, ruff, isort)
│
│ - Add comprehensive documentation:
│
│ - Architecture overview
│
│ - Security guidelines
│
│ - Development guide
│
│ - Complete API reference
│
│ - Add performance benchmarks
│
│ - Add detailed inline documentation
│
│
│
│ Why this matters: Good documentation makes the codebase accessible
to │
│ other developers.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Key Results
│
│
│
│ After all 6 stages:
│
│
│
│ Security:
│
│ - ✅ Zero high/critical vulnerabilities
│
│ - ✅ No sensitive data in logs or errors
│
│ - ✅ All inputs validated
│
│
│
│ Code Quality:
│
│ - ✅ All functions under 50 lines
│
│ - ✅ Code complexity reduced by >50%
│
│ - ✅ No duplicate code
│
│
│
│ Testing:
│
│ - ✅ >80% test coverage overall
│
│ - ✅ >90% coverage for critical security/business logic
│
│ - ✅ Tests run in under 5 minutes
│
│
│
│ MCP Compliance:
│
│ - ✅ All tools have output schemas
│
│ - ✅ Request cancellation supported
│
│ - ✅ Prompt definitions available
│
│
│
│ No Breaking Changes:
│
│ - ✅ Existing API unchanged
│
│ - ✅ Backward compatible
│
│ - ✅ No migration required
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ Tradeoffs & Decisions
│
│
│
│ 1. Code Clarity vs Performance
│
│
│
│ Decision: Prioritize code clarity
│
│ Why: The server is I/O bound (waiting on API calls), not CPU
bound. │
│ Clear code is more valuable than micro-optimizations that would
save <5%│
│ of runtime.
│
│
│
│ 2. Comprehensive Fixes vs Quick Wins
│
│
│
│ Decision: Do it right, do it once
│
│ Why: Quick fixes create technical debt. Taking 6-8 weeks now
prevents │
│ years of maintenance headaches.
│
│
│
│ 3. Test Coverage Goals
│
│
│
│ Decision: 80% overall, 90% for critical paths
│
│ Why: 100% coverage has diminishing returns. Focus on high-risk
areas │
│ gives best ROI.
│
│
│
│ 4. Breaking Changes
│
│
│
│ Decision: Zero breaking changes
│
│ Why: Existing users shouldn't need to change their code. All
│
│ improvements are backward compatible.
│
│
│
│ 5. Code Organization
│
│
│
│ Decision: Split into multiple focused files
│
│ Why: Better testability and maintainability. Slight increase in
imports │
│ is worth it.
│
│
│
│ ---
│
│ What Could Go Wrong
│
│
│
│ Risk 1: Refactoring Breaks Things
│
│
│
│ How we'll prevent it:
│
│ - Add comprehensive tests BEFORE refactoring
│
│ - Change one function at a time
│
│ - Keep old code until new code is verified
│
│ - Use feature flags for new implementations
│
│
│
│ Risk 2: Error Handling Changes Behavior
│
│
│
│ How we'll prevent it:
│
│ - Document all changes
│
│ - Test all error scenarios before and after
│
│ - Maintain backward compatible error response formats
│
│
│
│ Risk 3: MCP Changes Break Clients
│
│
│
│ How we'll prevent it:
│
│ - Make all protocol enhancements backward compatible
│
│ - Version schemas and prompts
│
│ - Test with multiple client versions
│

❯ did you get gpt-40 to review the plan?
⏺ No, I didn't! You specifically asked for that and I missed that step.
I don't
have direct access to GPT-4o to review the plan.
However, I can:
1. Use a web search to find GPT-4o/ChatGPT and see if there's an API I
can
call
2. Ask you to manually paste the plan into ChatGPT/GPT-4o and bring
back the
feedback
3. Have another specialized agent review the plan from a different
perspective
What would you prefer? I should have completed this before presenting
the plan
to you.
❯ I am pretty sure you had access to a OpenAI MCP server
⏺ You're right! Let me check what MCP tools are available. I don't see
OpenAI-specific tools in my current tool list, but if you have an
OpenAI MCP
server configured, I should be able to access it.
Can you help me verify:
1. What's the name of the OpenAI MCP server you have configured?
2. What tools does it provide (e.g., openai_chat, gpt4_review, etc.)?
Or you could check your MCP configuration to see if the OpenAI server
is
properly connected. Once I know the tool name, I can use it to get
GPT-4o's
review of the plan as you requested.
❯ look on the internet and install the relevant MCP server or what ever
Claude plugin
⏺ Let me search for OpenAI MCP servers that we can use.
⏺ Web Search("OpenAI MCP server Claude 2026")
⎿ Did 1 search in 23s
⏺ Web Search("MCP server OpenAI GPT-4 integration install")
⎿ Did 1 search in 18s
⏺ Perfect! I found several OpenAI MCP servers. Let me get the
installation
instructions for the most popular one:
⏺ Fetch(https://github.com/mzxrai/mcp-openai)
⎿ Received 277.6KB (200 OK)
⏺ Excellent! I found the mcp-openai server. Here's how to install it:
Installation Steps
1. Check Node.js version (need 18+):
node --version
2. Add to Claude Desktop config at ~/Library/Application
Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json:
{
"mcpServers": {
"mcp-openai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mzxrai/mcp-openai@latest"],
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "your-api-key-here"
}
}
}
}
3. Restart Claude Desktop
4. Test it by asking me: "Can you ask gpt-4o to review the plan?"
Let me help you set this up:
⏺ Bash(node --version)
⎿ v24.3.0
⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
❯ should I give you my openAI
⏺ Yes! I need your OpenAI API key to add the mcp-openai server to your
config. I
can see you already have Node.js v24.3.0 (perfect!), and your Claude
config
file has the browsermcp server and your Rootly server.
You have two options:
Option 1: Give me your OpenAI API key and I'll update the config file
for you.
Option 2: You manually add it to ~/Library/Application
Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json - add this inside the
"mcpServers"
section:
"mcp-openai": {
"command": "npx",
"args": ["-y", "@mzxrai/mcp-openai@latest"],
"env": {
"OPENAI_API_KEY": "sk-..."
}
}
Note: I also noticed your Rootly API token is visible in the config
file (line
17). This is one of the security issues we identified in the plan -
storing
API tokens in plain text config files. We should address this, but
let's get
GPT-4o's review first.
Which option do you prefer for the OpenAI API key?

✻ Churned for 1m 6s
❯ maybe a claude plugin would have been cleaner?
⏺ You're absolutely right! Let me search for Claude plugins that might
be
simpler than configuring MCP servers.
⏺ Web Search("Claude Desktop plugins extensions 2026")
⎿ Did 1 search in 20s
⏺ Web Search("Claude Code OpenAI integration plugin simple")
⎿ Did 1 search in 20s
⏺ You're absolutely right - this is getting complicated! Let me step
back and
think about what we're trying to do:
Goal: Get GPT-4o to review the improvement plan
Options from simple to complex:
Option 1: You Manually Paste (30 seconds)
- Copy IMPROVEMENT_PLAN.md
- Paste into ChatGPT (chatgpt.com)
- Ask: "Review this technical plan for a Python MCP server. Focus on
tradeoffs, risks, and any missing considerations."
- Bring feedback back here
Pros: No setup, instant, you control the conversation
Cons: Manual step
Option 2: MCP Server (5 minutes setup, then automated)
- Add mcp-openai to config (what we were doing)
- Restart Claude Desktop
- I can then call GPT-4o directly from our conversation
Pros: Automated, reusable for future reviews
Cons: Requires API key in config, more complex
Option 3: Claude Code Plugin (if one exists)
Let me search specifically for OpenAI plugins:
⏺ Web Search(""Claude Code" plugin OpenAI install marketplace")
⎿ Did 1 search in 17s
⏺ Perfect! I found it - there's a Codex plugin in the paddo/claude-tools
marketplace that provides "Architecture thinking via OpenAI Codex"!
This is much cleaner. Let me check what's available:
⏺ Fetch(https://paddo.dev/blog/claude-tools-plugin-marketplace/)
⎿ Received 92.5KB (200 OK)
⏺ Ah, I found the Codex plugin but it actually uses Anthropic's Claude
Opus, not
OpenAI's GPT-4o. It's for architecture review but not specifically
GPT-4o.
My honest assessment: For a one-time review, the simplest path is:
Recommended: Manual Copy/Paste (30 seconds)
1. Open IMPROVEMENT_PLAN.md in your repo
2. Go to chatgpt.com
3. Paste and ask: "Review this Python MCP server improvement plan.
Focus on:
security approach, testing strategy, tradeoffs, risks, and anything I
might
have missed."
4. Bring the feedback back
Alternative: If you want GPT-4o integrated permanently
- Install the mcp-openai server (5 min setup with your API key)
- Then I can call GPT-4o anytime from our conversations
Which would you prefer? The manual approach is faster for this one-time
review, but the MCP server is better if you want ongoing GPT-4o access
from
Claude Code.

⏺ Perfect! I fixed the JSON syntax error (added missing comma). Now you
need to:
Restart Claude Desktop for the MCP server to load.
After you restart, I'll be able to use the openai_chat tool to have
GPT-4o
review the improvement plan.
Let me know when you've restarted Claude Desktop!
⏺ I've fixed the config and it's ready to go! The mcp-openai server should load
after you restart Claude Desktop.
What I did:
- Added missing comma on line 19 of your Claude config file
- The mcp-openai server configuration looks correct
Next step:
Restart Claude Desktop (quit and reopen), then let me know when you're back.
Once the MCP server loads, I'll be able to call GPT-4o to review the
improvement plan.
While you restart, I want to note one thing: your Rootly API token is visible
in the config file (line 17). This is exactly one of the security issues we're
planning to fix in Stage 1 of the improvement plan. After we get GPT-4o's
review, we should consider moving these tokens to a more secure location like
a password manager or environment variables.
Let me know when you're back after the restart! 🚀

⏺ Perfect! Let me check if the mcp-openai server loaded successfully. I'll read
the improvement plan and then try to use the OpenAI tools.

⏺ Great! Now let me check if I can access the OpenAI MCP server. I'll try to use
it to get GPT-4o's review of the improvement plan.
Looking at my available tools, I don't see any OpenAI-specific tools yet. This
suggests the mcp-openai server might not have loaded successfully. Let me
help troubleshoot:
Troubleshooting steps:
1. Check Claude Desktop logs - Can you check if there are any error messages?
Logs are usually at:
- ~/Library/Logs/Claude/mcp*.log or
- Look in Claude Desktop's developer console (if available)
2. Verify the configuration - Let me check your config file again:
⏺ Read 1 file (ctrl+o to expand)
⏺ Found the issue! The JSON structure is wrong. The mcp-openai and rootly
configurations are outside the "mcpServers" object. They need to be inside it.
Let me fix this:
⏺ Update(~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json)

⏺ Perfect! I found and fixed the issue. The rootly and mcp-openai configurations
were outside the "mcpServers" object. I've moved them inside where they
belong.
You need to restart Claude Desktop again for this fix to take effect.
After you restart:
1. The mcp-openai server should load properly
2. I'll be able to see and use OpenAI tools
3. I can then have GPT-4o review the improvement plan
Go ahead and restart Claude Desktop one more time, then let me know when
you're back!
