### Description (declared)

# openqa-mcp

An [MCP](https://modelcontextprotocol.io) server that exposes curated,
typed tools over the [openQA](https://open.qa) REST API. It is built on
[fastmcp](https://github.com/jlowin/fastmcp) 3.x and the
[openqa-async](https://pypi.org/project/openqa-async/) transport client.

Read tools work anonymously; mutating tools require API credentials and
return `403` without them.

## Install

```sh
uv sync
```

This installs the package and its dependencies into a project virtualenv
and exposes the `openqa-mcp` console script.

## Configuration

The server reads its configuration from environment variables, falling back
to the openQA client config file for credentials.

### Environment variables

| Variable | Default | Purpose |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `OPENQA_SERVER` | openqa-async default | openQA host (e.g. `openqa.opensuse.org`). |
| `OPENQA_API_KEY` | *(unset)* | API key; overrides the config file when set. |
| `OPENQA_API_SECRET` | *(unset)* | API secret; overrides the config file when set. |
| `OPENQA_VERIFY` | `true` | TLS verification: `true`/`false`, or a path to a CA bundle. |
| `OPENQA_MCP_TIMEOUT` | `30.0` | Per-request HTTP timeout (seconds) for openQA calls; raise for slow queries like large `latest=1` failed-job lists. `<=0` disables the timeout. |

`OPENQA_API_KEY` and `OPENQA_API_SECRET` only take effect when **both** are
set; a partial pair is ignored so the client is never half-configured.

### Config file

If the env credentials are not set, openqa-async loads them from
`~/.config/openqa/client.conf` (or `/etc/openqa/client.conf`). Generate a
key/secret from the *API keys* page of your openQA instance and add a section
keyed by the host:

```ini
[openqa.opensuse.org]
key = YOUR_API_KEY
secret = YOUR_API_SECRET
```

Without any credentials the server is GET-only (read tools succeed, mutating
tools get `403`).

## Tools

### Read tools

| Tool | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `list_jobs` | List jobs matching the given filters. Pass `summary=True…
