How do I use GitHub Analyzer Pro MCP Server?

1. Click on "Install Server". 2. Wait a few minutes for the server to deploy. Once ready, it will show a "Started" state. 3. In the chat, type @ followed by the MCP server name and your instructions, e.g., "@GitHub Analyzer Pro MCP Server Analyze the health and top contributors for the facebook/react repository." That's it! The server will respond to your query, and you can continue using it as needed. Here is a step-by-step guide with screenshots.

📊 Rate Limit Management

Check Your Limits

# Use the tool
get_rate_limit()

# Returns:
{
  "core": {
    "limit": 5000,
    "remaining": 4850,
    "reset": "2024-12-15T10:30:00"
  },
  "search": {
    "limit": 30,
    "remaining": 28,
    "reset": "2024-12-15T09:45:00"
  }
}

Best Practices

Use authentication - 5000 vs 60 requests/hour
Cache results - Built-in 5-minute caching
Batch requests - Use higher limits per call
Monitor usage - Check rate_limit regularly
Handle errors - Graceful degradation

Rate Limit Headers

The server automatically handles:

X-RateLimit-Limit - Total limit
X-RateLimit-Remaining - Requests left
X-RateLimit-Reset - Reset timestamp
Retry-After - Seconds to wait

🛡️ Security Best Practices

Token Management

# ✅ DO: Use environment variables
export GITHUB_TOKEN='ghp_...'

# ✅ DO: Use .env file (add to .gitignore)
echo "GITHUB_TOKEN=ghp_..." > .env
echo ".env" >> .gitignore

# ❌ DON'T: Hardcode in files
GITHUB_TOKEN = "ghp_..."  # NEVER DO THIS!

# ❌ DON'T: Commit to git
git add .env  # NEVER DO THIS!

Token Scopes

Minimum required:

✅ public_repo - Access public repositories
✅ read:user - Read user profile

Optional for more features:

repo - Access private repositories
read:org - Read organization data
admin:repo_hook - Manage webhooks

Token Rotation

# Create new token
1. Visit https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Generate new token
3. Update environment variable
4. Restart server
5. Revoke old token

🧪 Testing

Manual Testing

# Test repository info
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/get_repository_info \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"owner": "facebook", "repo": "react"}'

# Test search
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/search_repositories \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"query": "fastapi", "limit": 5}'

# Test user profile
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/get_user_profile \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"username": "torvalds"}'

Python Testing

import requests

# Test connection
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/server_info",
    json={}
)
assert response.status_code == 200
print(response.json())

# Test repository
response = requests.post(
    "http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/get_repository_info",
    json={"owner": "python", "repo": "cpython"}
)
data = response.json()
assert "name" in data
print(f"Repository: {data['name']}")

📈 Monitoring & Logging

Server Logs

The server provides detailed logging:

[2024-12-15 10:30:45] INFO - Server started on port 8001
[2024-12-15 10:31:12] INFO - Tool called: get_repository_info
[2024-12-15 10:31:13] INFO - GitHub API request: repos/facebook/react
[2024-12-15 10:31:14] INFO - Response cached for 300s
[2024-12-15 10:31:14] INFO - Tool execution completed: 1.2s

Health Monitoring

# Check server health
curl http://localhost:8001/health

# Check rate limits
curl -X POST http://localhost:8001/mcp/v1/tools/get_rate_limit \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{}'

🐛 Troubleshooting

Common Issues

"Rate limit exceeded"

# Solution: Add GitHub token
export GITHUB_TOKEN='ghp_your_token'

"Repository not found"

# Check: Owner and repo spelling
# Check: Repository is public (or token has access)
# Check: Repository hasn't been deleted/renamed

"Connection refused"

# Check: Server is running
python github_server.py

# Check: Port 8001 is available
lsof -i :8001  # Linux/Mac
netstat -ano | findstr :8001  # Windows

"Invalid token"

# Solution: Regenerate token with correct scopes
# Required: public_repo, read:user

"Timeout error"

# Check: Internet connection
# Check: GitHub status: https://www.githubstatus.com/
# Increase: Timeout in code (REQUEST_TIMEOUT)

Debug Mode

# Add to github_server.py for debugging
import logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.DEBUG)

🎓 Advanced Usage

Custom Tool Implementation

Add your own tools to github_server.py:

@mcp.tool()
@safe_json_response
def your_custom_tool(param: str) -> dict:
    """
    Your custom GitHub tool.
    
    Args:
        param: Parameter description
    
    Returns:
        Custom data
    """
    data = gh_client.request(f"your/endpoint/{param}")
    return {
        "result": data
    }

Batch Processing

# Process multiple repos
repos = [
    ("facebook", "react"),
    ("microsoft", "vscode"),
    ("google", "flutter")
]

for owner, repo in repos:
    info = get_repository_info(owner, repo)
    print(f"{owner}/{repo}: {info['statistics']['stars']} stars")

Caching Strategy

The server includes built-in caching (5 minutes). Customize:

from functools import lru_cache

@lru_cache(maxsize=128)
def cached_request(endpoint: str):
    return gh_client.request(endpoint)
