## 🚀 Next Steps to Deploy
### Step 1: Install Dependencies (1 minute)
```bash
cd "/Users/varunjain/Codebeamer MCP -opt"
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Step 2: Set Environment Variables (1 minute)
```bash
export CODEBEAMER_URL="https://your-codebeamer-instance.com"
export CODEBEAMER_API_KEY="your-api-key-here"
export CODEBEAMER_MAX_CALLS="60"
export CODEBEAMER_CACHE_TTL="300"
```
### Step 3: Add HTTP Client (2 minutes)
Edit `codebeamer_smart_tool.py` at line 135, replace the placeholder with:
```python
import requests
response = requests.request(
method=method,
url=url,
headers=headers,
params=params,
json=body,
timeout=30
)
response.raise_for_status()
data = response.json()
```
See `SETUP_GUIDE.md` for complete code.
### Step 4: Test the Server (1 minute)
```bash
python mcp_server.py
```
You should see:
```
✅ Codebeamer MCP Server initialized
URL: https://your-codebeamer-instance.com
Max calls/min: 60
Cache TTL: 300s
Tools: 12
```
### Step 5: Configure GitHub Copilot
Add to your VS Code settings (`settings.json`):
```json
{
"github.copilot.advanced": {
"mcp": {
"servers": {
"codebeamer": {
"command": "python",
"args": ["C:/Users/varunjain/Codebeamer MCP -opt/mcp_server.py"],
"env": {
"CODEBEAMER_URL": "https://your-instance.com",
"CODEBEAMER_API_KEY": "your-key"
}
}
}
}
}
}
```

## 💡 Usage Example
### Before (With Individual APIs)
```
Agent: I need to find all open bugs in projects 123 and 456.
Execution:
1. Call get_projects(123) → API call #1
2. Call get_projects(456) → API call #2
3. Call get_trackers(123) → API call #3
4. Call get_trackers(456) → API call #4
5-20. Call get_items() for each tracker → API calls #5-20
21-40. Call get_fields() for each item → API calls #21-40
Total: ~40 API calls
Time: ~20 seconds
Rate limit risk: HIGH ⚠️
```
### After (With MCP Server)
```
Agent: I need to find all open bugs in projects 123 and 456.
Execution:
1. Call codebeamer_query_items with CbQL query → API call #1
Total: 1 API call
Time: ~0.5 seconds
Rate limit risk: NONE ✅
Result: Same data, 40x fewer calls!
```
