Summary of Changes

Hello @0xtsotsi, 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 establishes a robust integration with the VibeKanban project management system via its Model Context Protocol (MCP). It provides a structured service layer (ReviewWatcherService) that offers type-safe interfaces and detailed documentation for direct invocation of VibeKanban's 8 core MCP tools by Claude Code, streamlining task and project management workflows.

Highlights

  • VibeKanban MCP Integration: Completed the integration of VibeKanban's Model Context Protocol (MCP) with type-safe interfaces and comprehensive documentation for all 8 tools.
  • ReviewWatcherService Introduction: Added ReviewWatcherService to provide TypeScript type definitions for VibeKanban entities, extensive JSDoc documentation for MCP tools, UUID validation helpers, and EventEmitter integration for error handling.
  • Comprehensive Documentation: Introduced docs/vibe-kanban-mcp-integration.md which details all 8 MCP tools, their usage, architectural overview, best practices, and error handling guidelines.

Code Review

This pull request does a great job of introducing type-safe interfaces and comprehensive documentation for the VibeKanban MCP integration. The code is well-structured and the documentation is thorough. My feedback focuses on further improving type safety and consistency, which are the primary goals of this change. The most critical issue is the discrepancy between the documented API responses and the TypeScript return types. I've also included suggestions to improve naming consistency, refactor duplicated code, and enhance the documentation's accuracy.

critical

There is a significant discrepancy between the documented API return types in docs/vibe-kanban-mcp-integration.md and the method signatures in this service.

For example, the documentation for mcp__vibe_kanban__list_projects states it returns an object:

{
  projects: Array<{...}>;
  count: number;
}

However, the listProjects method is typed to return Promise<MCPProject[]>, which is just the array.

This inconsistency undermines the goal of providing type-safe interfaces. The TypeScript types should accurately reflect the structure of the data returned by the MCP tools. This issue applies to most of the methods in this class (listTasks, getTask, etc.). Please update the method return types to match the documented API responses.

Suggested change
async listProjects(): Promise<MCPProject[]> {
this.ensureInitialized();
throw new Error(
'This method is a placeholder. Use the mcp__vibe_kanban__list_projects MCP tool directly.'
);
}
async listProjects(): Promise<{ projects: MCPProject[]; count: number }> {
this.ensureInitialized();
throw new Error(
'This method is a placeholder. Use the mcp__vibe_kanban__list_projects MCP tool directly.'
);

critical

As with other methods in this class, the return type Promise<MCPTask> for getTask doesn't match the documented API response in vibe-kanban-mcp-integration.md. The documentation specifies that the API returns an object wrapping the task: { task: MCPTask }. Please update the type to ensure consistency and type safety.

Suggested change
async getTask(taskId: string): Promise<MCPTask> {
this.ensureInitialized();
throw new Error(
'This method is a placeholder. Use the mcp__vibe_kanban__get_task MCP tool directly.'
);

high

The startWorkspaceSession method returns a Promise<any>. Using any defeats the purpose of TypeScript's type safety, which is a key goal of this PR. Please define a specific interface for the workspace session information, or use a safer type like Promise<Record<string, unknown>> if the shape is truly dynamic or unknown.

Suggested change
async startWorkspaceSession(options: StartWorkspaceSessionOptions): Promise<any> {
this.ensureInitialized();
throw new Error(
'This method is a placeholder. Use the mcp__vibe_kanban__start_workspace_session MCP tool directly.'

There's an inconsistency in property naming conventions. These option interfaces use camelCase (e.g., projectId, taskId), while the MCP tools expect snake_case (e.g., project_id, task_id) as shown in your JSDoc and other interfaces like MCPRepo. To improve consistency and reduce potential errors when constructing MCP tool calls, it's best to use snake_case for these properties to match the tool's expected input.

projectId: string;
title: string;
description?: string;

taskId: string;

The methods validateProjectId and validateTaskId contain identical logic for validating a UUID. This code duplication can be avoided by creating a single, private helper method for UUID validation. This will make the code more maintainable and less error-prone.

  validateProjectId(projectId: string): boolean {
    return this.isUuid(projectId);
  }

  /**
   * Helper method to validate task ID format
   */
  validateTaskId(taskId: string): boolean {
    return this.isUuid(taskId);
  }

  private isUuid(id: string): boolean {
    const uuidRegex =
      /^[0-9a-f]{8}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{4}-[0-9a-f]{12}$/i;

The documented return type for status in the update_task tool is string. This is inconsistent with the MCPTask interface and other tool definitions in this document, which use the more specific enum 'todo' | 'inprogress' | 'inreview' | 'done' | 'cancelled'. Using the specific enum here would make the documentation more accurate and consistent.

Suggested change
status: string;
status: 'todo' | 'inprogress' | 'inreview' | 'done' | 'cancelled';

The example usage for start_workspace_session shows an unquoted JSON array for the repos parameter. Depending on the shell or environment where these commands are run, this could be parsed incorrectly. To ensure the JSON is treated as a single argument, it's safer to quote it.

Suggested change
repos=[{"repo_id": "20bbfe62-675d-48b0-acff-23370fbdb5ed", "base_branch": "main"}]
repos='[{"repo_id": "20bbfe62-675d-48b0-acff-23370fbdb5ed", "base_branch": "main"}]'

Greptile Summary

Adds comprehensive VibeKanban MCP integration with type-safe interfaces and documentation for all 8 MCP tools.

  • Created ReviewWatcherService with TypeScript type definitions for VibeKanban entities (MCPProject, MCPTask, MCPRepo)
  • Added comprehensive JSDoc documentation for all 8 MCP tools (list_projects, list_tasks, get_task, create_task, update_task, delete_task, list_repos, start_workspace_session)
  • Included UUID validation helpers for project and task IDs
  • Created detailed documentation file with usage examples, architecture overview, task status flow, and best practices
  • Service methods throw placeholder errors - actual MCP tool invocation happens directly by Claude Code

Note: The service class is purely for type definitions and documentation - the actual functionality is provided by MCP tools. Consider renaming to better reflect purpose (e.g., VibeKanbanService) and clarifying the documentation-only nature of the class.

Confidence Score: 4/5

  • This PR is safe to merge with minor style improvements recommended
  • The PR adds comprehensive type definitions and documentation for VibeKanban MCP integration without modifying existing functionality. All changes are additive (new files only), well-documented, and follow TypeScript best practices. The service class correctly uses EventEmitter integration. Minor style improvements suggested include renaming the class to better reflect its purpose and reducing code duplication in UUID validation.
  • No files require special attention - both files are well-structured with comprehensive documentation
