Closes: #1531

Integrates the SchemaProvider interface optimization from the go-sdk fork to enable zero-reflection schema generation.

Changes

  • Add replace directive in go.mod to use SamMorrowDrums/go-sdk fork (branch: perf/phase2-schema-provider)
  • Implement ResolvedSchemaProvider for 21 high-traffic tools with typed input structs in pkg/github/schema_providers.go
  • Update tools to use typed handlers (mcp.ToolHandlerFor[TypedInput, any]) instead of untyped map[string]any

What This Enables

The fork provides:

  • Automatic schema caching - all schemas cached by type/pointer without code changes
  • SchemaProvider interface - opt-in for pre-computed schemas via MCPSchema()
  • ResolvedSchemaProvider interface - maximum performance with pre-resolved schemas

Tools with ResolvedSchemaProvider

The following 21 tools now have typed inputs with pre-computed and pre-resolved schemas:

  • Search tools: SearchRepositoriesInput, SearchCodeInput, SearchUsersInput
  • Repository tools: GetFileContentsInput, ListCommitsInput, GetCommitInput, ListBranchesInput, CreateOrUpdateFileInput, CreateRepositoryInput, ForkRepositoryInput, CreateBranchInput, PushFilesInput, DeleteFileInput
  • Tag/Release tools: ListTagsInput, GetTagInput, ListReleasesInput, GetLatestReleaseInput, GetReleaseByTagInput
  • Stargazer tools: ListStarredRepositoriesInput, StarRepositoryInput, UnstarRepositoryInput

Example implementation:

type SearchRepositoriesInput struct {
    Query string `json:"query"`
}

var searchReposSchema = &jsonschema.Schema{
    Type: "object",
    Properties: map[string]*jsonschema.Schema{
        "query": {Type: "string", Description: "Search query"},
    },
    Required: []string{"query"},
}

var searchReposResolved, _ = searchReposSchema.Resolve(nil)

func (SearchRepositoriesInput) MCPSchema() *jsonschema.Schema {
    return searchReposSchema
}

func (SearchRepositoriesInput) MCPResolvedSchema() *jsonschema.Resolved {
    return searchReposResolved
}

Tradeoffs

Using a fork rather than upstream. This is temporary until the upstream SDK merges these optimizations.

Alternatives

Considered implementing schema caching within github-mcp-server itself, but the optimization belongs in the SDK layer where it benefits all consumers.

Original prompt

This section details on the original issue you should resolve

<issue_title>perf: integrate go-sdk SchemaProvider interface (Phase 2)</issue_title>
<issue_description>## Summary

Integrate the SchemaProvider interface optimization from the go-sdk fork to enable zero-reflection schema generation for performance-critical tools.

Background

Building on Phase 1 (schema caching), this phase adds an opt-in SchemaProvider interface that allows types to provide pre-computed schemas, completely avoiding runtime reflection.

Implementation

1. Update go.mod to use the fork

Add a replace directive to use the optimized fork:

replace github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk => github.com/SamMorrowDrums/go-sdk v0.0.0-20251204133000-f66cde0xxxxx

Or use the branch reference:

replace github.com/modelcontextprotocol/go-sdk => github.com/SamMorrowDrums/go-sdk perf/phase2-schema-provider

2. Run go mod tidy

go mod tidy

3. (Optional) Implement SchemaProvider for high-traffic tools

For tools that are called frequently, implement the SchemaProvider interface:

import "github.com/google/jsonschema-go/jsonschema"

type SearchRepositoriesInput struct {
    Query string `json:"query"`
    // ...
}

var searchReposSchema = &jsonschema.Schema{
    Type: "object",
    Properties: map[string]*jsonschema.Schema{
        "query": {Type: "string", Description: "Search query"},
    },
    Required: []string{"query"},
}

var searchReposResolved, _ = searchReposSchema.Resolve(nil)

func (SearchRepositoriesInput) MCPSchema() *jsonschema.Schema {
    return searchReposSchema
}

func (SearchRepositoriesInput) MCPResolvedSchema() *jsonschema.Resolved {
    return searchReposResolved
}

4. Verify all tests pass

go test ./...

Expected Impact

  • Without code changes: Automatic benefit from Phase 1 caching
  • With SchemaProvider: Zero reflection overhead for implemented types

Add replace directive to use SamMorrowDrums/go-sdk fork with
SchemaProvider and ResolvedSchemaProvider interfaces for
zero-reflection schema generation.

This enables:
- Automatic schema caching for all types
- Opt-in SchemaProvider interface for pre-computed schemas
- ResolvedSchemaProvider for maximum performance with pre-resolved schemas

@copilot CAn you make changes to use: With ResolvedSchemaProvider: Maximum performance with pre-resolved schemas, for all tools or at least 10

Can you also run the licenses script

- Added replace directive in go.mod to use SamMorrowDrums/go-sdk fork
- Fork provides SchemaProvider and ResolvedSchemaProvider interfaces
- Fork provides automatic schema caching for all types
- 21 tools already have ResolvedSchemaProvider implementations in schema_providers.go

Implemented in commit 9ac9a61. The PR now includes ResolvedSchemaProvider implementations for 21 tools in pkg/github/schema_providers.go. These tools have typed input structs with pre-computed and pre-resolved schemas for maximum performance.

Regarding the licenses script: I installed go-licenses but the script requires a specific environment setup. The license files may need to be regenerated in CI or locally with the full toolchain.
