Implementation Reference

• src/handlers/pull-request-handlers.ts:337-433 (handler)

  Main handler function for update_pull_request tool. Validates input using isUpdatePullRequestArgs, constructs appropriate API request for Bitbucket Server or Cloud (preserving reviewer approvals on Server), performs PUT request to update PR, formats and returns the response.
  async handleUpdatePullRequest(args: any) { if (!isUpdatePullRequestArgs(args)) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid arguments for update_pull_request' ); } const { workspace, repository, pull_request_id, title, description, destination_branch, reviewers } = args; try { let apiPath: string; let requestBody: any = {}; if (this.apiClient.getIsServer()) { // Bitbucket Server API apiPath = `/rest/api/1.0/projects/${workspace}/repos/${repository}/pull-requests/${pull_request_id}`; // First get the current PR to get version number and existing data const currentPr = await this.apiClient.makeRequest<any>('get', apiPath); requestBody.version = currentPr.version; if (title !== undefined) requestBody.title = title; if (description !== undefined) requestBody.description = description; if (destination_branch !== undefined) { requestBody.toRef = { id: `refs/heads/${destination_branch}`, repository: { slug: repository, project: { key: workspace } } }; } // Handle reviewers: preserve existing ones if not explicitly updating if (reviewers !== undefined) { // User wants to update reviewers // Create a map of existing reviewers for preservation of approval status const existingReviewersMap = new Map( currentPr.reviewers.map((r: any) => [r.user.name, r]) ); requestBody.reviewers = reviewers.map(username => { const existing = existingReviewersMap.get(username); if (existing) { // Preserve existing reviewer's full data including approval status return existing; } else { // Add new reviewer (without approval status) return { user: { name: username } }; } }); } else { // No reviewers provided - preserve existing reviewers with their full data requestBody.reviewers = currentPr.reviewers; } } else { // Bitbucket Cloud API apiPath = `/repositories/${workspace}/${repository}/pullrequests/${pull_request_id}`; if (title !== undefined) requestBody.title = title; if (description !== undefined) requestBody.description = description; if (destination_branch !== undefined) { requestBody.destination = { branch: { name: destination_branch } }; } if (reviewers !== undefined) { requestBody.reviewers = reviewers.map(r => ({ username: r })); } } const pr = await this.apiClient.makeRequest<any>('put', apiPath, requestBody); const formattedResponse = this.apiClient.getIsServer() ? formatServerResponse(pr as BitbucketServerPullRequest, undefined, this.baseUrl) : formatCloudResponse(pr as BitbucketCloudPullRequest); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ message: 'Pull request updated successfully', pull_request: formattedResponse }, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return this.apiClient.handleApiError(error, `updating pull request ${pull_request_id} in ${workspace}/${repository}`); } }
