# Swarmia MCP Server A Model Context Protocol (MCP) server that provides access to Swarmia's Export API. This server allows you to fetch various metrics and reports from Swarmia including pull request metrics, DORA metrics, investment balance reports, software capitalization reports, and effort reporting. ## Features This MCP server provides access to the following Swarmia Export API endpoints: - **Pull Request Metrics** - Cycle time, review rate, merge time, PRs in progress, etc. - **DORA Metrics** - Deployment frequency, change lead time, change failure rate, mean time to recovery - **Investment Balance** - Monthly FTE data and investment category breakdowns - **Software Capitalization Report** - Employee contributions to capitalizable work - **Software Capitalization Employees** - FTE effort breakdown by month for each employee - **Effort Reporting** - Authors and their FTE for each issue in a given month ## Prerequisites - Python 3.8 or higher - A Swarmia account with API access - A Swarmia API token (obtain from Settings/API tokens in your Swarmia dashboard) ## Integration with MCP Clients To use this MCP server with your favourite MCP client (E.g. Claude, Cursor etc.): 1. **Ensure depedancies are installed** ```bash make install ``` 2. **Add the following to your MCP configuration** ```json { "mcpServers": { "swarmia": { "command": "/path/to/swarmia-mcp/venv/bin/python3", "args": ["/path/to/swarmia-mcp/swarmia_mcp_server.py"], "env": { "SWARMIA_API_TOKEN": "your_api_token_here" } } } } ``` 3. **Restart your client application** 4. **Ask for some metrics** Example queries: - "Analyze our team's pull request cycle time trends" - "Get the software capitalization report for Q1 2024" - "Show me effort reporting for last month" ## Installation for Development 1.

The default is UTC. ## API Reference This MCP server is based on the [Swarmia Export API documentation](https://help.swarmia.com/getting-started/integrations/data-export/export-api). ### Base URL ``` https://app.swarmia.com/api/v0 ``` ### Authentication The server uses token-based authentication. Your API token is passed as a query parameter to all requests. ## Error Handling The server includes comprehensive error handling for: - Missing or invalid API tokens - HTTP request failures - Invalid parameters - API rate limiting - Network connectivity issues ## Logging The server logs all activities at the INFO level. You can adjust the logging level by modifying the `logging.basicConfig()` call in the server code. ## Development ### Available Make Targets The project includes a comprehensive Makefile with the following targets: - `make help` - Show available targets and help information - `make install` - Install dependencies and setup the project - `make setup` - Complete setup (install + environment checks) - `make test` - Test the API connection and server functionality - `make run` - Run the MCP server - `make check-env` - Check if required environment variables are set - `make clean` - Clean up temporary files - `make format` - Format code with black (if available) - `make lint` - Lint code with flake8 (if available) - `make type-check` - Type check with mypy (if available) - `make quality` - Run all quality checks - `make info` - Show project information ### Testing To test the server: ```bash make test ``` ## Example Usage Here's an example of how you might use this server with an MCP client: ```python # Example: Get pull request metrics for the last 30 days result = await client.call_tool( "get_pull_request_metrics", { "timeframe": "last_30_days", "timezone": "America/New_York" } ) # Example: Get DORA metrics for a specific date range result = await client.call_tool( "get_dora_metrics", { "start_date": "2024-01-01", "end_date": "2024-01-31", "app": "my-app", "environment": "production" } ) # Example: Get investment balance for January 2024 result = await client.call_tool( "get_investment_balance", { "start_date": "2024-01-01", "end_date": "2024-01-31" } ) ``` ## Troubleshooting ### Common Issues 1. **"SWARMIA_API_TOKEN environment variable is required"** - Make sure you've set the `SWARMIA_API_TOKEN` environment variable - Verify your token is valid and has the necessary permissions 2. **"API request failed with status 401"** - Your API token may be invalid or expired - Check your token in the Swarmia dashboard 3. **"API request failed with status 403"** - Your token may not have permission to access the requested data - Contact your Swarmia administrator 4. **"Request failed: Connection timeout"** - Check your internet connection - Verify that `app.swarmia.com` is accessible from your network ### Getting Help - Check the [Swarmia Export API documentation](https://help.swarmia.com/getting-started/integrations/data-export/export-api) - Review the Swarmia API token settings in your dashboard - Contact Swarmia support for API-related issues
