Implementation Reference

• src/tools/repository.ts:112-154 (handler)

  The main execution handler for the 'update-repository' tool. Parses arguments using Zod schema, uses GitHub Octokit to update repository settings, wraps in error handling, and returns updated repository details.

  export async function updateRepository(args: unknown): Promise<any> {
    const {
      owner,
      repo,
      description,
      private: isPrivate,
      default_branch,
      has_issues,
      has_projects,
      has_wiki,
      archived,
    } = UpdateRepositorySchema.parse(args);
    const github = getGitHubApi();
  
    return tryCatchAsync(async () => {
      const { data } = await github.getOctokit().repos.update({
        owner,
        repo,
        description,
        private: isPrivate,
        default_branch,
        has_issues,
        has_projects,
        has_wiki,
        archived,
      });
  
      return {
        id: data.id,
        name: data.name,
        full_name: data.full_name,
        private: data.private,
        description: data.description,
        html_url: data.html_url,
        default_branch: data.default_branch,
        has_issues: data.has_issues,
        has_projects: data.has_projects,
        has_wiki: data.has_wiki,
        archived: data.archived,
        updated_at: data.updated_at,
      };
    }, 'Failed to update repository');
  }

• src/server.ts:152-197 (registration)

  MCP tool registration defining the 'update-repository' tool's metadata, description, and input schema for the server.

  {
    name: 'update-repository',
    description: 'Update an existing GitHub repository',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        owner: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Repository owner',
        },
        repo: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Repository name',
        },
        description: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'New description',
        },
        private: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Change privacy setting',
        },
        default_branch: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Change default branch',
        },
        has_issues: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Enable/disable issues',
        },
        has_projects: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Enable/disable projects',
        },
        has_wiki: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Enable/disable wiki',
        },
        archived: {
          type: 'boolean',
          description: 'Archive/unarchive repository',
        },
      },
      required: ['owner', 'repo'],
      additionalProperties: false,
    },

• src/utils/validation.ts:54-62 (schema)

  Zod validation schema for 'update-repository' tool inputs, extending OwnerRepoSchema with optional update fields. Used in the handler for argument parsing.

  export const UpdateRepositorySchema = OwnerRepoSchema.extend({
    description: z.string().optional(),
    private: z.boolean().optional(),
    default_branch: z.string().optional(),
    has_issues: z.boolean().optional(),
    has_projects: z.boolean().optional(),
    has_wiki: z.boolean().optional(),
    archived: z.boolean().optional(),
  });

• src/server.ts:1169-1171 (registration)

  Dispatch case in the MCP server's tool request handler that routes 'update-repository' calls to the updateRepository function.

  case 'update-repository':
    result = await updateRepository(parsedArgs);
    break;
