A production-grade, fault-tolerant, and benchmarked **Enterprise Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server** written in Python. Designed for real-world enterprise deployments, it provides Large Language Models (LLMs) with cryptographically governed, RBAC/ABAC-enforced, reversible, and token-budgeted access to GitHub repositories across **13 MCP Tools**, **4 Native MCP Resources**, and **2 Native MCP Prompts**.

## ๐ Enterprise & Principal Engineer Differentiators
Unlike basic CRUD MCP wrappers, `github-mcp-toolkit` implements **15 rare enterprise capabilities** required by production engineering organizations:
### I. Security, Governance & Compliance
1. **Enterprise Outbound DLP + Shannon Entropy + Luhn PII Scanner (`policy_engine.py`)**: Scans all outbound write parameters for 10 vendor credential patterns (GitHub PATs, AWS keys, OpenAI/Anthropic keys, JWTs, Slack tokens, DB URIs, PEM keys, SSNs), vendor-agnostic high-entropy secrets ($H(X) \ge 3.8\text{ bits/char}$), and ISO/IEC 7812 Luhn-validated payment cards.
2. **Scoped Session RBAC / Agent Persona Least-Privilege (`policy_engine.py`)**: Enforces 4 hierarchical agent personas (`read_only`, `triage_operator`, `maintainer`, `admin`) via `policy.json` or `MCP_AGENT_ROLE` before any write tool executes.
3. **Per-Tool 60s Sliding-Window Write Velocity Limiter (`policy_engine.py`)**: Thread-safe per-tool sliding-window rate limiter (`max_writes_per_minute`) stops runaway agent loops from exhausting GitHub quota or spamming repositories.
4. **Cryptographic 2-Phase Preview Tokens for Single & Bulk Writes (`policy_engine.py`, `tools/`)**: Issues single-use, 5-minute TTL `SHA256` tokens bound to normalized parameters (`repo_name`, `issue_number`, `title`, `body`, `label`, `comment`). Blocks parameter bait-and-switch and concurrent replay attacks.
5. **5-Signature Indirect Prompt-Injection Threat Scorer (`tools/triage_issue.py`)**: Escapes XML delimiters (`<untrusted_issue_data>`), computes a multi-vector threat score across 5 adversarial signatures, and automatically blocks auto-label mutations (`apply_labels=True`) when an issue contains indirect prompt-injection payloads.
6. **SOC-2 / ISO-27001 Governance & Compliance Snapshot Exporter (`policy_engine.py`, `server.py`)**: Generates a canonical JSON compliance attestation signed with a 64-char `snapshot_sha256` digest via `PolicyEngine.export_compliance_snapshot()` and the native `github://compliance/snapshot` MCP resource.
### II. Reliability, Reversibility & Context-Window Protection
7. **Tamper-Evident SHA-256 Hash-Chained Saga Journal (`transaction_journal.py`)**: Every write transaction is cryptographically linked (`prev_hash` + `record_hash`) in a blockchain-style audit log (`verify_chain_integrity()`), detecting any out-of-band tampering or deletion.
8. **Saga Dry-Run Inspection & Targeted Out-of-Order Rollback (`tools/undo_last_action.py`)**: Supports `dry_run=True` to preview exact compensation steps without mutating GitHub state, and `tx_id` to roll back any specific historical transaction out-of-order while leaving newer work intact.
9. **Pre-Flight Blast-Radius, Quota Impact & Reversibility Simulator (`policy_engine.py`)**: Every write tool's Phase-1 preview returns a deterministic `blast_radius` report (`blast_radius_score`, `severity_tier`, `estimated_api_calls`, `quota_impact_pct`, `reversible_via_saga`, `rollback_operation`).
10. **Context-Window Token Budgeter & Adaptive Payload Compactor (`schemas.py`)**: Automatically compacts oversized issue bodies and enforces a global payload token budget (`DEFAULT_MAX_PAYLOAD_TOKENS = 3000`) in the server middleware so large repositories never overflow the LLM context window.
11. **Deterministic Chaos & Fault-Injection Resilience Harness (`circuit_breaker.py`)**: Built-in `ChaosInjector` simulates `502_bad_gateway`, `503_unavailable`, `429_rate_limit`, and `timeout` faults to verify circuit-breaker trip (`CLOSED โ OPEN โ HALF_OPEN โ CLOSED`) and single-probe recovery.
### III. Retrieval, Incident Triage & Full MCP Spec Coverage
12. **Hybrid RRF (Reciprocal Rank Fusion) Search Engine (`vector_engine.py`)**: Combines dense-style Corpus TF-IDF cosine similarity with BM25-style exact lexical/error-code/issue-number matching using Reciprocal Rank Fusion:
$$\text{RRF}(d) = \frac{1}{k + r_{\text{semantic}}(d)} + \frac{1}{k + r_{\text{lexical}}(d)}, \quad k=60$$
13. **Automated Incident Runbook & Related-Issue Cross-Linker (`tools/triage_issue.py`)**: Enriches issue triage with priority-mapped SLA targets (`SLA_TARGETS_HOURS`), actionable remediation playbooks, and automatic Hybrid RRF cross-linking of related open issues.
14. **Live SLO (`p50`/`p95` Latency) & Guardrail Telemetry Diagnostics (`tracer.py`)**: Computes real-time `p50`/`p95` latency percentiles, error rates, and guardrail block counters across all execution spans (`get_telemetry_summary()`).
15. **Full MCP Protocol Coverage โ Tools, Resources & Prompts (`server.py`)**: Implements all three MCP specification primitives: **13 Tools**, **4 `@mcp.resource` endpoints**, and **2 `@mcp.prompt` workflow templates**.
