Code Reader - MCP Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to your GitHub repositories, detects API changes, and provides context for Cursor to automatically generate test cases.

Features

• 🔍 Detect API Changes: Compare branches/commits to find new or modified API endpoints

• 📂 Multi-Service Support: Configure multiple services with their automation repos

• 🔗 GitHub Integration: Fetch file contents, commits, PRs directly from GitHub

• 📝 Test Templates: Get starter templates for REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs

• 🤖 Cursor Integration: Provides tools that Cursor can use to understand your API changes

Configured Services

This MCP server is configured for the following Bliklan services:

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (we recommend using nvm)

• npm (comes with Node.js)

• GitHub Fine-Grained Personal Access Token (required for gdncomm org)

• Cursor IDE

Check Your Node.js Version

node --version
# Should be v18.x.x or higher (v20.x or v21.x recommended)

If you're using an older version, install a newer one via nvm:

nvm install 21
nvm use 21
nvm alias default 21

Quick Start

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone <repository-url>
cd api-test-mcp-server

Step 2: Install Dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Build the Server

npm run build

This creates the dist/index.js file that Cursor will run.

Step 4: Create a GitHub Fine-Grained Token

⚠️ Important: The gdncomm organization requires a fine-grained personal access token (classic tokens won't work).

1. Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta

2. Click "Generate new token"

3. Configure:

   • Token name: api-test-mcp-server

   • Expiration: Choose appropriate duration

   • Resource owner: Select gdncomm organization

   • Repository access: Select "Only select repositories" → choose the repos you need

   • Permissions (Repository permissions):

     • Contents: Read-only

     • Metadata: Read-only

     • Pull requests: Read-only

     • Commit statuses: Read-only

4. Click Generate token

5. Copy the token (starts with github_pat_)

Step 5: Configure Cursor MCP

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "api-test-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/node",
      "args": ["/path/to/api-test-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "github_pat_your_token_here",
        "DEFAULT_BASE_BRANCH": "master",
        "SERVICES_CONFIG": "[{\"name\":\"bliklan-campaign-management\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-campaign-management\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-campaign-management\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-compute-engine\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-compute-engine\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-compute-engine\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-credit\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-credit\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-credit\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-ads-engine\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-ads-engine\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-ads-engine\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]}]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Find Your Node Path

If you're using nvm, you need to use the full path to node:

# Find your node path
which node
# Example output: /Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v21.5.0/bin/node

Use this full path in the "command" field.

Update Paths

Replace in the config:

• /path/to/your/node → Your actual node path (from which node)

• /path/to/api-test-mcp-server → Where you cloned this repo

• /Users/yourname/automation-repos/ → Your actual automation repos path

• github_pat_your_token_here → Your actual GitHub token

Step 6: Restart Cursor

Completely quit Cursor (Cmd+Q on macOS) and reopen it. The MCP server only loads at startup.

Step 7: Verify Setup

In Cursor, check Settings → Features → MCP Servers. You should see api-test-server with a green status.

If you see a red status, check the error message:

• "Cannot use import statement outside a module" → Wrong Node.js version (need 18+)

• "Service not found" → SERVICES_CONFIG not set correctly

• "Bad credentials" → GitHub token is invalid or expired

Available Tools

Once configured, you can ask Cursor to use these tools:

Usage Examples

Example 1: List Services and Get Recent Commits

Use the api-test-server to list services, then get recent commits for bliklan-campaign-management

Example 2: Find API Logic

Use the api-test-server to find the logic for storeads/save-campaign API in bliklan-campaign-management

Example 3: Check Recent Changes

Get the recent commits for bliklan-credit service and show me any API-related changes

Example 4: Analyze API File

Use the MCP server to get the content of src/main/java/com/gdn/bliklan/campaignmanagement/controller/StoreAdsCampaignController.java from bliklan-campaign-management

Example 5: Compare Branches

Compare master and release/SP22_RELEASE_01 branches in bliklan-campaign-management to find API changes

Testing the MCP Server

Simply ask Cursor to use the tools (this is the normal workflow).

MCP Server Shows Red Status

1. Check Cursor Developer Tools: Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console

2. Look for error messages related to "mcp" or "api-test-server"

3. Verify the node path is correct (use full path from which node)

4. Make sure the dist/index.js file exists (run npm run build)

No API Changes Detected

1. Verify apiPatterns match your file structure

2. Check if the branches you're comparing exist

3. Try broader patterns like **/*.java for testing

Adding New Services

To add a new service, update the SERVICES_CONFIG in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

or copy the file cp /Users/ruthsan/api-test-mcp-server/cursor-mcp-config.json ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "name": "new-service-name",
  "repoOwner": "gdncomm",
  "repoName": "new-service-repo",
  "automationRepoPath": "/path/to/automation/new-service",
  "apiPatterns": [
    "**/controllers/**",
    "**/routes/**",
    "**/api/**",
    "**/*Controller*"
  ]
}

Then restart Cursor.

API Patterns

Configure apiPatterns to match your codebase structure:

For Spring Boot (Java):

"apiPatterns": [
  "**/controller/**",
  "**/rest/**",
  "**/*Controller.java",
  "**/*Resource.java"
]
