      "Title": "Future Consideration: Support SSE and Remote Hosting for Smithery",
      "Excerpt": "## Background\nCurrently, the Smithery registration process for stdio-based servers via GitHub URL often fails due to environment mismatches (e.g., missing 'gh' CLI in Smithery's scan environment). Transitioning to a Remote/Hosted model via SSE (Server-Sent Events) would simplify registration.\n\n## Requirements\n- **Remove 'gh' dependency**: Replace `execSync('gh ...')` with a library like `octokit` to allow execution in environments without GitHub CLI.\n- **Implement SSE Transport**: Support `SSESe",

      "Excerpt": "## Summary\nWe attempted to register `mcp-oss-onramp` with Smithery.ai. Currently, registration is blocked due to inconsistencies in Smithery's documentation, CLI, and WebUI support for `stdio`-based MCP servers.\n\n## Attempts and Results\n\n### 1. URL-based Registration (SSE)\n- **Attempt**: `smithery mcp publish <GitHub URL>`\n- **Result**: 422 Error\n- **Cause**: Smithery's scanner attempts to treat the URL as a live HTTP/SSE server. Since this project is `stdio`-based, it fails the automatic scan/h",

      "Excerpt": "# Task: Remove `gh` CLI dependency and use native library\n\nCurrently, the server relies on the GitHub CLI (`gh`) being installed and authenticated in the user's environment to make API calls via `execSync`. This creates a friction point for users and limits portability.\n\n## Goal\n- Replace `gh api graphql` calls with a native library (e.g., `octokit`).\n- Support authentication via a `GITHUB_TOKEN` environment variable or direct configuration.\n\n## Benefits\n- Improved portability (works in environm",

To support a wider range of workflows, we should consider adding additional MCP commands that allow more flexible and skill‑aware issue discovery.\n\nPotential enhancements include:\n- Accepting the contributor’s skill set as input and recommending issues with a high relevance match\n-",

In the MCP ecosystem, returning errors within the 'content' of the tool response can help AI agents understand and self-correct the issue (e.g., if a repository name is misspelled).\n\nRefactor 'server.setRequestHandler(CallToolRequestSchema, ...)' to return a structured error message in the 'content' field when appropriate, instead of just throwing.",
