Finalizes MCP server implementation with production-ready error handling, per-tool disabling, and context overflow detection.

Per-Tool Disabling

  • Added disabledToolsJson field to McpServer entity
  • McpToolMapper.buildMapping() now filters disabled tools automatically
  • Repository/ViewModel methods for enable/disable management
// Disable specific tools on a server
val server = server.withDisabledTools(setOf("expensive_tool", "slow_tool"))

// Tools are automatically filtered during mapping
val mapping = McpToolMapper.buildMapping(serverTools, contextSize = 4096)
// mapping.skippedDisabledTools = 2

Context Overflow Detection

  • Token estimation (~4 chars/token) with validation against context size
  • Throws McpContextOverflowException when tools exceed 30% of context
  • User-friendly error messages listing affected servers
// Throws if tools consume too much context
McpToolMapper.buildMapping(serverTools, contextSize = 256)
// McpContextOverflowException: "Too many MCP tools (50 tools from 'Zapier MCP', 'GitHub MCP') 
// exceed the available context size. Estimated: 2000, available: 76."

Exception Hierarchy

New McpException sealed class with specific error types:

  • McpContextOverflowException - tools exceed context
  • McpToolNotFoundException - tool not in registry
  • McpToolDisabledException / McpServerDisabledException - disabled resources
  • McpConnectionTimeoutException / McpInvalidResponseException - network errors

Test Coverage

56 new unit tests covering:

  • Disabled tools filtering
  • Context overflow detection
  • Stress test: 100 tools from 5 servers
  • Exception message formatting
  • Edge cases (empty names, special characters, invalid JSON)
Original prompt

add some final touches to the mcp servers implementation AND TEST THEM and build the app and add edge cases like if too many tools are in the server and the context is too small it gives a specific error and teh ability to disable specific mcp servers or tools within them and remove the github app build workflow and also account for all edge cases and iron out the mcp implementation and make sure its ready for production use and stress test it i recommend using subagents for the tasks

- Fix parseResponse() to always try SSE parsing regardless of transport type
- Rename test class from McpServerIntegrationTest to McpServerTest
- Use exact assertions instead of permissive contains() checks
- Add helper function documentation and UUID format validation
- Reduce UUID test iterations from 100 to 10 for efficiency

The new disabledToolsJson column is added to the McpServer entity, but there is no corresponding database migration to add this column to the existing mcp_servers table. The database is currently at version 5 (MIGRATION_4_5), but no MIGRATION_5_6 exists to add this new column. This will cause a schema mismatch error when the app tries to use the updated entity with an existing database. You need to create a MIGRATION_5_6 in AppDatabase.kt that adds the disabledToolsJson column to the mcp_servers table, and update the database version from 5 to 6.
