Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'create_epic' MCP tool. It authenticates the session, validates input, and uses the TaigaClientWrapper to create an epic via the pytaigaclient API.
    @mcp.tool("create_epic", description="Creates a new epic within a project.") def create_epic(session_id: str, project_id: int, subject: str, **kwargs) -> Dict[str, Any]: """Creates an epic. Requires project_id and subject. Optional fields (description, status_id, assigned_to_id, color, etc.) via kwargs.""" logger.info( f"Executing create_epic '{subject}' in project {project_id}, session {session_id[:8]}...") taiga_client_wrapper = _get_authenticated_client(session_id) # Use wrapper variable name if not subject: raise ValueError("Epic subject cannot be empty.") try: # Use pytaigaclient syntax: client.resource.create(project=..., subject=..., **kwargs) epic = taiga_client_wrapper.api.epics.create(project=project_id, subject=subject, **kwargs) logger.info(f"Epic '{subject}' created successfully (ID: {epic.get('id', 'N/A')}).") # return epic.to_dict() # Remove .to_dict() return epic # Return directly except TaigaException as e: logger.error( f"Taiga API error creating epic '{subject}': {e}", exc_info=False) raise e except Exception as e: logger.error( f"Unexpected error creating epic '{subject}': {e}", exc_info=True) raise RuntimeError(f"Server error creating epic: {e}")
  • Helper function used by create_epic (and other tools) to retrieve the authenticated TaigaClientWrapper instance from the active_sessions dictionary based on session_id.
    def _get_authenticated_client(session_id: str) -> TaigaClientWrapper: """ Retrieves the authenticated TaigaClientWrapper for a given session ID. Raises PermissionError if the session is invalid or not found. """ client = active_sessions.get(session_id) # Also check if the client object itself exists and is authenticated if not client or not client.is_authenticated: logger.warning(f"Invalid or expired session ID provided: {session_id}") # Raise PermissionError - FastMCP will map this to an appropriate error response raise PermissionError( f"Invalid or expired session ID: '{session_id}'. Please login again.") logger.debug(f"Retrieved valid client for session ID: {session_id}") return client
  • The TaigaClientWrapper class imported and used by create_epic handler to interact with the Taiga API via pytaigaclient. Handles login and provides the api.epics.create method.
    class TaigaClientWrapper: """ A wrapper around the pytaiga-client library to manage API instance and authentication state. """ def __init__(self, host: str): if not host: raise ValueError("Taiga host URL cannot be empty.") # Store host, but initialize client later during login/token auth self.host = host # Use the new client type self.api: Optional[TaigaClient] = None logger.info(f"TaigaClientWrapper initialized for host: {self.host}")
  • src/server.py:871-871 (registration)
    The @mcp.tool decorator registers the create_epic function as an MCP tool with the specified name and description.
    @mcp.tool("create_epic", description="Creates a new epic within a project.")
