# Active Context
## Current Phase
Initial project setup and foundation building
## Recent Changes
- Created memory bank structure
- Defined project requirements and scope
- Established technical architecture
- Documented development setup
## Current Focus
1. Project Infrastructure
- Repository setup
- Development environment configuration
- Initial package structure
2. Core Implementation
- MCP server skeleton
- GitHub API client foundation
- Basic authentication flow
3. Tool Design
- Issue reading implementation
- Issue creation implementation
- Error handling framework
## Active Decisions
### Authentication Strategy
- Using Personal Access Token (PAT)
- Secure storage via environment variables
- Token scope limited to issue management
### API Integration
- PyGithub as primary GitHub API client
- Async operations where beneficial
- Caching for rate limit management
### Tool Structure
- Separate tools for read and create operations
- Consistent response formatting
- Clear error messages
## Immediate Priorities
1. Set up basic project structure
- Initialize Python package
- Configure development tools
- Set up testing framework
2. Implement MCP server foundation
- Basic server setup
- Tool registration
- Error handling
3. Create GitHub API client
- Authentication implementation
- Basic API operations
- Rate limit handling
## Pending Considerations
- Cache implementation details
- Rate limit strategies
- Error reporting format
- Testing approach
## Next Steps
1. Create initial project structure
2. Set up development environment
3. Implement basic MCP server
4. Add GitHub authentication
5. Create first tool implementation
## Open Questions
- Cache duration for API responses
- Error message format preferences
- Rate limit handling strategy
- Testing coverage requirements
