Angular PR Review MCP

Reusable MCP server for automated pull-request review workflows across multiple Angular repositories.

This package exposes three MCP tools:

• get_pr_review_template

• generate_pr_diff

• read_pr_diff

• save_pr_review

It runs in the target repository context (the current working directory), so one published package can be reused by any Angular app.

Requirements

• Node.js 20+

• Git installed and available in PATH

• VS Code with Copilot Chat MCP support

Local Development

npm install
npm run build
npm run dev

Publish To npm

If publishing publicly:

npm login
npm publish --access public

If publishing under a scoped package (recommended for account/org ownership):

1. Change the name field in package.json to your scope, for example @your-scope/angular-pr-review-mcp.

2. Publish:

npm login
npm publish --access public

Create Separate GitHub Repository

From this folder, create and push to a dedicated repository in your account:

git init
git branch -M main
git remote add origin https://github.com/<your-username>/angular-pr-review-mcp.git
git add .
git commit -m "Initial reusable Angular PR review MCP package"
git push -u origin main

Use From Any Angular Repository

Add or update .vscode/mcp.json in each Angular repository:

{
  "servers": {
    "angular-pr-review": {
      "type": "stdio",
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "angular-pr-review-mcp"],
      "cwd": "${workspaceFolder}",
      "env": {
        "PR_REVIEW_BASE_BRANCH": "main",
        "PR_REVIEW_OUTPUT_DIR": "pr_review"
      }
    }
  }
}

For a scoped package, replace angular-pr-review-mcp with your published name.

Environment Variables

• PR_REVIEW_BASE_BRANCH: target base branch for comparison (default main)

• PR_REVIEW_OUTPUT_DIR: review artifacts directory (default pr_review under repo root)

• PR_REVIEW_REPO_ROOT: override repository root (default current working directory)

• PR_REVIEW_SERVER_NAME: MCP server name (default angular-pr-review)

Tool Workflow

1. generate_pr_diff with commit SHA.

2. read_pr_diff to retrieve diff content.

3. save_pr_review to persist markdown review comments.

Recommended flow:

1. get_pr_review_template first, to load the local review rubric and avoid re-deriving rules each run.

2. generate_pr_diff and read_pr_diff for evidence collection.

3. save_pr_review for the final report.

Generated files are written into the configured output folder in each consuming repository.

Local Template Artifact

The repository includes pr_review_prompt_template.md so teams can version review guidance in source control. The get_pr_review_template tool returns the same policy text (with optional commit token replacement), which helps keep reviews deterministic and reduces token consumption.
