## šŸ’» Development

### Project Structure

```
bitbucket-mcp/
ā”œā”€ā”€ src/
│   ā”œā”€ā”€ index.ts           # MCP server implementation
│   └── BitbucketClient.ts # Bitbucket API client
ā”œā”€ā”€ dist/                  # Compiled JavaScript
ā”œā”€ā”€ .env.example          # Environment variables template
ā”œā”€ā”€ package.json
ā”œā”€ā”€ tsconfig.json
└── README.md
```

### Development Commands

```bash
# Run in development mode with hot reload
npm run dev

# Build for production
npm run build

# Run linting
npm run lint

# Format code
npm run format

# Start production server
npm start
```

## šŸ¤ Usage Examples

Once configured, you can interact with your Bitbucket repositories through your LLM:

- "List all repositories in my workspace"
- "Show open pull requests in the main repository"
- "Create a pull request from feature/new-feature to main"
- "Get the content of README.md from the develop branch"
- "Search for 'authentication' in the codebase"
- "Compare develop and main branches"
- "Show recent commits with 'fix' in the message"

## šŸ” Troubleshooting

### Common Issues

**Authentication Failed**
- Verify your username (use email if that's your login)
- Ensure App Password is valid and has correct permissions
- Check that the App Password hasn't expired

**Workspace Not Found**
- Confirm workspace slug matches URL format: `bitbucket.org/WORKSPACE/`
- Verify you have access to the workspace

**Build Errors**
- Ensure Node.js 18+ is installed: `node --version`
- Clear node_modules and reinstall: `rm -rf node_modules && npm install`
- Rebuild the project: `npm run build`

TDQS

B3.2/5.0

Scored across 16 tools

Disambiguation5/5

Every tool has a clearly distinct purpose targeting specific resources and actions in the Bitbucket domain. There is no overlap or ambiguity between tools like 'get_branch', 'list_branches', 'compare_branches', or 'get_pull_request', 'list_pull_requests', 'merge_pull_request'.

Naming Consistency5/5

All tools follow a consistent verb_noun pattern throughout (e.g., 'list_repositories', 'get_commit', 'create_pull_request'). The naming is uniform with clear action prefixes and descriptive resource names, making the set predictable and readable.

Tool Count4/5

With 16 tools, the count is slightly on the higher side but reasonable for a comprehensive Bitbucket server covering repositories, branches, commits, pull requests, and workspaces. It's well-scoped, though it might feel heavy compared to simpler servers.

Completeness5/5

The tool surface provides complete CRUD/lifecycle coverage for the Bitbucket domain, including listing, getting, creating, merging, and commenting on pull requests, along with repository, branch, commit, and workspace operations. There are no obvious gaps, ensuring agents can handle full workflows without dead ends.
