yellhorn-mcp 0.1.3

Yellhorn MCP server uses Gemini 2.5 pro to generate detailed work plans and review pull requests.

Yellhorn MCP

A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that exposes Gemini 2.5 Pro capabilities to Claude Code for software development tasks.

Features

• Generate Work Plans: Creates GitHub issues with detailed implementation plans based on your codebase, with customizable title and detailed description
• Review Code Diffs: Evaluates pull requests against the original work plan with full codebase context and provides detailed feedback
• Seamless GitHub Integration: Automatically creates labeled issues, posts reviews as PR comments with references to original issues, and handles asynchronous processing

Installation

# Install from PyPI
pip install yellhorn-mcp

# Install from source
git clone https://github.com/msnidal/yellhorn-mcp.git
cd yellhorn-mcp
pip install -e .

Configuration

The server requires the following environment variables:

• GEMINI_API_KEY: Your Gemini API key (required)
• REPO_PATH: Path to your repository (defaults to current directory)
• YELLHORN_MCP_MODEL: Gemini model to use (defaults to "gemini-2.5-pro-exp-03-25")

The server also requires the GitHub CLI (gh) to be installed and authenticated.

Usage

Running the server

# As a standalone server
yellhorn-mcp --repo-path /path/to/repo --host 127.0.0.1 --port 8000

# Using the MCP CLI
mcp dev yellhorn_mcp.server

# Install as a permanent MCP server for Claude Desktop
mcp install yellhorn_mcp.server

# Set environment variables during installation
mcp install yellhorn_mcp.server -v GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key_here -v REPO_PATH=/path/to/repo

Integration with Claude Code

When working with Claude Code, you can use the Yellhorn MCP tools by:

1. Starting a project task:

   Please generate a work plan with title "[Your Title]" and detailed description "[Your detailed requirements]"
   

2. Reviewing your implementation:

   Please review my changes in PR [PR URL] against the work plan from [GitHub issue URL]
   

Tools

generate_work_plan

Creates a GitHub issue with a detailed work plan based on the title and detailed description, labeled with 'yellhorn-mcp'.

Input:

• title: Title for the GitHub issue (will be used as issue title and header)
• detailed_description: Detailed description for the workplan

Output:

• URL to the created GitHub issue

review_work_plan

Reviews a pull request against the original work plan and provides feedback. Includes the full codebase as context for better analysis and adds a reference to the original work plan in the review comment.

Input:

• work_plan_issue_url: GitHub issue URL containing the work plan
• pull_request_url: GitHub PR URL containing the changes to review
• ctx: Server context

Output:

• Asynchronously posts a review directly to the PR with a reference to the original work plan issue

Development

# Install development dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run tests
pytest

CI/CD

The project uses GitHub Actions for continuous integration and deployment:

• Testing: Runs automatically on pull requests and pushes to the main branch

  • Linting with flake8
  • Format checking with black
  • Testing with pytest

• Publishing: Automatically publishes to PyPI when a version tag is pushed

  • Tag must match the version in pyproject.toml (e.g., v0.1.3)
  • Requires a PyPI API token stored as a GitHub repository secret (PYPI_API_TOKEN)

To release a new version:

1. Update version in pyproject.toml
2. Commit changes: git commit -am "Bump version to X.Y.Z"
3. Tag the commit: git tag vX.Y.Z
4. Push changes and tag: git push && git push --tags
