Code Reader Server

An MCP (Model Context Protocol) server that connects to your GitHub repositories, detects API changes, and provides context for Cursor to automatically generate test cases.

Features

• 🔍 Detect API Changes: Compare branches/commits to find new or modified API endpoints
• 📂 Multi-Service Support: Configure multiple services with their automation repos
• 🔗 GitHub Integration: Fetch file contents, commits, PRs directly from GitHub
• 📝 Test Templates: Get starter templates for REST, GraphQL, and gRPC APIs
• 🤖 Cursor Integration: Provides tools that Cursor can use to understand your API changes

Configured Services

This MCP server is configured for the following Bliklan services:

Service	Repository
bliklan-campaign-management	gdncomm/bliklan-campaign-management
bliklan-tracker-aggregator	gdncomm/bliklan-tracker-aggregator
bliklan-compute-engine	gdncomm/bliklan-compute-engine
bliklan-credit	gdncomm/bliklan-credit
bliklan-ads-engine	gdncomm/bliklan-ads-engine

---

Prerequisites

• Node.js 18+ (we recommend using nvm)
• npm (comes with Node.js)
• GitHub Fine-Grained Personal Access Token (required for gdncomm org)
• Cursor IDE

Check Your Node.js Version

node --version
# Should be v18.x.x or higher (v20.x or v21.x recommended)

If you're using an older version, install a newer one via nvm:

nvm install 21
nvm use 21
nvm alias default 21

---

Quick Start

Step 1: Clone the Repository

git clone <repository-url>
cd api-test-mcp-server

Step 2: Install Dependencies

npm install

Step 3: Build the Server

npm run build

This creates the dist/index.js file that Cursor will run.

Step 4: Create a GitHub Fine-Grained Token

⚠️ Important: The gdncomm organization requires a fine-grained personal access token (classic tokens won't work).

1. Go to: https://github.com/settings/tokens?type=beta
2. Click "Generate new token"
3. Configure:
   • Token name: api-test-mcp-server
   • Expiration: Choose appropriate duration
   • Resource owner: Select gdncomm organization
   • Repository access: Select "Only select repositories" → choose the repos you need
   • Permissions (Repository permissions):
     • Contents: Read-only
     • Metadata: Read-only
     • Pull requests: Read-only
     • Commit statuses: Read-only
4. Click Generate token
5. Copy the token (starts with github_pat_)

Step 5: Configure Cursor MCP

Create or edit ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "api-test-server": {
      "command": "/path/to/your/node",
      "args": ["/path/to/api-test-mcp-server/dist/index.js"],
      "env": {
        "GITHUB_TOKEN": "github_pat_your_token_here",
        "DEFAULT_BASE_BRANCH": "master",
        "SERVICES_CONFIG": "[{\"name\":\"bliklan-campaign-management\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-campaign-management\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-campaign-management\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-tracker-aggregator\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-compute-engine\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-compute-engine\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-compute-engine\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-credit\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-credit\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-credit\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]},{\"name\":\"bliklan-ads-engine\",\"repoOwner\":\"gdncomm\",\"repoName\":\"bliklan-ads-engine\",\"automationRepoPath\":\"/Users/yourname/automation-repos/bliklan-ads-engine\",\"apiPatterns\":[\"**/controllers/**\",\"**/routes/**\",\"**/api/**\",\"**/*Controller*\",\"**/*Router*\"]}]"
      }
    }
  }
}

Important: Find Your Node Path

If you're using nvm, you need to use the full path to node:

# Find your node path
which node
# Example output: /Users/yourname/.nvm/versions/node/v21.5.0/bin/node

Use this full path in the "command" field.

Update Paths

Replace in the config:

• /path/to/your/node → Your actual node path (from which node)
• /path/to/api-test-mcp-server → Where you cloned this repo
• /Users/yourname/automation-repos/ → Your actual automation repos path
• github_pat_your_token_here → Your actual GitHub token

Step 6: Restart Cursor

Completely quit Cursor (Cmd+Q on macOS) and reopen it. The MCP server only loads at startup.

Step 7: Verify Setup

In Cursor, check Settings → Features → MCP Servers. You should see api-test-server with a green status.

If you see a red status, check the error message:

• "Cannot use import statement outside a module" → Wrong Node.js version (need 18+)
• "Service not found" → SERVICES_CONFIG not set correctly
• "Bad credentials" → GitHub token is invalid or expired

Available Tools

Once configured, you can ask Cursor to use these tools:

Tool	Description	Example
list_services	List all configured services	"List all services"
get_recent_commits	Get recent commits for a service	"Get recent commits for bliklan-campaign-management"
get_api_changes	Get API changes between branches	"Get API changes between master and feature/xyz"
get_api_details	Get full content of an API file	"Get the StoreAdsCampaignController.java file"
get_pull_requests	Get PRs for a service	"Show open PRs for bliklan-credit"
analyze_api_endpoint	Extract endpoint definitions from a file	"Analyze endpoints in UserController.java"
get_test_template	Get a test template for REST/GraphQL/gRPC	"Get a REST test template"
compare_branches	Compare branches and summarize changes	"Compare master and release/SP22"

---

Usage Examples

Example 1: List Services and Get Recent Commits

Use the api-test-server to list services, then get recent commits for bliklan-campaign-management

Example 2: Find API Logic

Use the api-test-server to find the logic for storeads/save-campaign API in bliklan-campaign-management

Example 3: Check Recent Changes

Get the recent commits for bliklan-credit service and show me any API-related changes

Example 4: Analyze API File

Use the MCP server to get the content of src/main/java/com/gdn/bliklan/campaignmanagement/controller/StoreAdsCampaignController.java from bliklan-campaign-management

Example 5: Compare Branches

Compare master and release/SP22_RELEASE_01 branches in bliklan-campaign-management to find API changes

---

Testing the MCP Server

Simply ask Cursor to use the tools (this is the normal workflow).

---

MCP Server Shows Red Status

1. Check Cursor Developer Tools: Help → Toggle Developer Tools → Console
2. Look for error messages related to "mcp" or "api-test-server"
3. Verify the node path is correct (use full path from which node)
4. Make sure the dist/index.js file exists (run npm run build)

No API Changes Detected

1. Verify apiPatterns match your file structure
2. Check if the branches you're comparing exist
3. Try broader patterns like **/*.java for testing

---

Adding New Services

To add a new service, update the SERVICES_CONFIG in ~/.cursor/mcp.json:

or copy the file cp /Users/ruthsan/api-test-mcp-server/cursor-mcp-config.json ~/.cursor/mcp.json

{
  "name": "new-service-name",
  "repoOwner": "gdncomm",
  "repoName": "new-service-repo",
  "automationRepoPath": "/path/to/automation/new-service",
  "apiPatterns": [
    "**/controllers/**",
    "**/routes/**",
    "**/api/**",
    "**/*Controller*"
  ]
}

Then restart Cursor.

---

API Patterns

Configure apiPatterns to match your codebase structure:

For Spring Boot (Java):

"apiPatterns": [
  "**/controller/**",
  "**/rest/**",
  "**/*Controller.java",
  "**/*Resource.java"
]
