Walkthrough

The GitHub MCP Connector was updated to include a circuit breaker for improved resilience against API failures. A new CircuitBreaker class manages connection states and is integrated into the connector's logic. All API methods now return unified raw JSON responses, and the demonstration function was refactored for clarity and robustness.

Changes

File(s) Change Summary
connectors/github_mcp_connector.py Added CircuitBreaker class; integrated circuit breaker into connection and action execution flows; unified all public API methods to return raw JSON with success flags and error details; added base64 decoding for file content; enhanced error logging; refactored demonstration function to use execute_action, check token presence, improve logging and output formatting.

Poem

In code we hop, with circuits to break,
Resilient now, for reliability’s sake.
GitHub calls are neat and clear,
With errors logged for all to hear.
A bunny’s leap, robust and bright—
Connector strong, from day to night!

Summary of Changes

Hello @groupthinking, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request focuses on improving the robustness and maintainability of the github_mcp_connector.py. It introduces a circuit breaker pattern to enhance resilience against external API failures and refactors the existing API interaction methods for cleaner, more centralized error handling. The accompanying demonstration code has also been updated to reflect these architectural improvements and provide a clearer example of usage.

Highlights

  • Enhanced API Resilience with Circuit Breaker: A new CircuitBreaker class has been implemented and integrated into the GitHubMCPConnector. This pattern provides resilience against repeated API failures by temporarily blocking calls to a failing service, preventing cascading issues and allowing for graceful recovery.
  • Streamlined API Interaction Methods: The core GitHub API interaction methods (e.g., search_repositories, get_repository, create_issue) have been refactored. They now feature simplified internal error handling and return structures, with the execute_action method centralizing the primary error catching and circuit breaker logic for all API calls.
  • Improved Connection and Demo Logic: The connect method now incorporates circuit breaker state management, recording successes and failures. Additionally, the demonstrate_github_connector example has been significantly updated to utilize the new execute_action pattern, include basic logging, and provide better validation for the GitHub API token, making the demo more robust and illustrative.

Code Review

This pull request introduces a circuit breaker pattern for the GitHub MCP Connector to improve resilience. It also refactors action methods for centralized error handling. The review identified a critical bug in the base URL, stubbed context methods, and a too-broad exception handling block. These points should be addressed to ensure the connector is robust and maintainable.

34-34: Add blank line before class definition

According to PEP8, there should be 2 blank lines before a class definition.

Apply this diff:

 logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

 class CircuitBreaker:

34-59: Consider thread safety for concurrent operations

The CircuitBreaker implementation doesn't include any synchronization mechanisms. In an async environment with concurrent API calls, this could lead to race conditions when updating _failure_count and _state. Consider using asyncio.Lock or thread-safe atomic operations for state management.


70-70: Fix inline comment spacing

According to PEP8, there should be at least two spaces before an inline comment.

Apply this diff:

-        self.breaker = CircuitBreaker() # Add the circuit breaker instance
+        self.breaker = CircuitBreaker()  # Add the circuit breaker instance

99-99: Fix inline comment spacing

According to PEP8, there should be at least two spaces before inline comments.

Apply this diff:

94-104: Consider removing unnecessary else after return

The else block after return is unnecessary and can be de-indented to improve readability.

                 if response.status == 200:

118-127: Implement context methods based on application needs

The get_context and send_context methods appear to be placeholders. Consider implementing them to provide meaningful GitHub context for your MCP integration.

Would you like me to help implement these methods or open an issue to track this requirement?

310-371: Well-structured demonstration function

The refactored demonstration function effectively showcases the connector's capabilities with proper error handling and clear output formatting. Good job checking for the GitHub token before proceeding.

Fixed base_url to use proper https:// scheme and removed duplicate protocol in URL construction.

34-58: Circuit breaker implementation looks solid.

The CircuitBreaker class correctly implements the circuit breaker pattern with proper state transitions (CLOSED → OPEN → HALF_OPEN → CLOSED). The timeout logic and failure threshold handling are appropriate for resilience against API failures.


128-166: Circuit breaker integration is well-implemented.

The execute_action method properly:

  • Checks circuit breaker state before executing actions
  • Records success/failure appropriately
  • Handles network errors distinctly from other exceptions
  • Provides meaningful error messages with action context

This significantly improves the connector's resilience against API failures.


167-297: API methods refactoring improves consistency.

All API methods now return a unified structure with:

  • Consistent success/error handling
  • Raw JSON data instead of manual extraction
  • Proper error status codes
  • Simplified response processing

The refactoring maintains functionality while improving maintainability and debugging capabilities.


284-286: Enhanced error logging for issue creation is valuable.

The detailed error logging when GitHub issue creation fails will significantly help with debugging API integration issues. Good improvement for troubleshooting.


315-319: Token validation improves user experience.

Adding upfront validation for the GitHub token prevents confusing error messages later in the demo. This is a good UX improvement.


310-371: Demonstration function refactoring enhances clarity.

The refactored demo function provides:

  • Clear token validation
  • Improved error handling and logging
  • Better output formatting
  • Consistent use of execute_action for all API calls

This makes the demo more robust and educational for users.
