# MCP GitHub Projects Integration - Gaps Analysis

## Core Functionality Gaps

### Project Item Management

#### Current Implementation
- Basic CRUD operations for projects
- Simple milestone and issue tracking
- Basic sprint management

#### Missing Features
```typescript
// Item Management
interface ProjectItemManager {
  addItemToProject(projectId: string, item: ProjectItem): Promise<void>;
  updateItemFields(projectId: string, itemId: string, fields: Record<string, any>): Promise<void>;
  reorderItems(projectId: string, itemIds: string[]): Promise<void>;
}

// Field Value Operations
interface FieldValueManager {
  setFieldValue(projectId: string, itemId: string, fieldId: string, value: any): Promise<void>;
  getFieldValues(projectId: string, itemId: string): Promise<Record<string, any>>;
  validateFieldValue(fieldId: string, value: any): Promise<boolean>;
}
```

### GitHub API Integration

#### Current Implementation
- Basic GraphQL queries
- Simple error handling
- Rate limit checking

#### Missing Features
```typescript
// Rate Limiting
interface RateLimitManager {
  checkRateLimit(): Promise<RateLimitInfo>;
  waitForRateLimit(): Promise<void>;
  optimizeRequests(operations: Operation[]): Promise<Operation[]>;
}

// Batching Operations
interface BatchOperationManager {
  batchQueries(queries: GraphQLQuery[]): Promise<GraphQLResponse[]>;
  optimizeBatchSize(queries: GraphQLQuery[]): number;
  handlePartialFailures(responses: GraphQLResponse[]): Promise<void>;
}
```

### Resource State Management

#### Current Implementation
- Basic resource tracking
- Simple version management
- Limited conflict handling

#### Missing Features
```typescript
// Version Control
interface VersionManager {
  trackResourceVersion(resource: Resource): Promise<Version>;
  detectConflicts(resource: Resource, updates: any): Promise<Conflict[]>;
  resolveConflicts(conflicts: Conflict[]): Promise<Resolution>;
}

// Resource Locking
interface LockManager {
  acquireLock(resourceId: string, timeout?: number): Promise<Lock>;
  validateLock(resourceId: string, lockId: string): Promise<boolean>;
  handleStaleOrMissingLocks(): Promise<void>;
}
```

## MCP Implementation Gaps

### Progressive Response Support

#### Current Implementation
- Basic response formatting
- Simple error responses
- Limited progress tracking

#### Missing Features
```typescript
// Progressive Updates
interface ProgressiveResponseHandler {
  initializeProgressTracking(operationId: string): Promise<void>;
  updateProgress(operationId: string, progress: number): Promise<void>;
  streamUpdates(operationId: string): AsyncIterator<ProgressUpdate>;
}

// Long-running Operations
interface LongRunningOperationManager {
  startOperation(operation: Operation): Promise<OperationHandle>;
  checkOperationStatus(handle: OperationHandle): Promise<OperationStatus>;
  cancelOperation(handle: OperationHandle): Promise<void>;
}
```

### Error Handling

#### Current Implementation
- Basic error mapping
- Simple retry logic
- Limited error context

#### Missing Features
```typescript
// Enhanced Error Handling
interface ErrorHandler {
  mapGitHubError(error: any): MCPError;
  enrichErrorContext(error: MCPError, context: Context): MCPError;
  determineRetryStrategy(error: MCPError): RetryStrategy;
}

// Retry Management
interface RetryManager {
  shouldRetry(error: MCPError): boolean;
  calculateBackoff(attempt: number): number;
  executeWithRetry<T>(operation: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T>;
}
```

## Implementation Priorities

### High Priority
1. Project Item Management
   - Complete CRUD operations for items
   - Implement field value management
   - Add item ordering support

2. GitHub API Integration
   - Implement proper rate limiting
   - Add request batching
   - Enhance error handling

3. Resource Management
   - Complete version tracking
   - Implement proper locking
   - Add conflict resolution

### Medium Priority
1. Progressive Responses
   - Add progress tracking
   - Implement streaming updates
   - Handle long-running operations

2. Error Handling
   - Enhance error mapping
   - Implement retry strategies
   - Add error context enrichment

### Low Priority
1. Advanced Features

   - Real-time updates
   - Advanced search capabilities

## Testing Requirements

### Unit Tests
```typescript
describe('Project Item Management', () => {
  it('should manage item field values correctly');
  it('should handle item reordering');
  it('should validate field values');
});

describe('GitHub API Integration', () => {
  it('should handle rate limits correctly');
  it('should batch requests efficiently');
  it('should handle partial failures');
});

describe('Resource Management', () => {
  it('should track resource versions');
  it('should detect and resolve conflicts');
  it('should manage resource locks');
});
```

### Integration Tests
```typescript
describe('End-to-end Operations', () => {
  it('should handle complex project updates');
  it('should manage concurrent operations');
  it('should handle API limitations');
});
```
