# GitHub Events Monitor
A production-ready Python application that monitors GitHub Events API and provides real-time metrics via REST API and MCP (Model Context Protocol) server.
## 🎯 Features
- **Real-time GitHub Events Monitoring**: Streams WatchEvent, PullRequestEvent, and IssuesEvent
- **REST API**: FastAPI-based metrics and visualization endpoints
- **MCP Server**: Model Context Protocol integration for AI tools (Claude Desktop, Cursor)
- **Production Ready**: Comprehensive testing (35 tests), Docker support, proper packaging
- **Scalable Architecture**: SQLite with easy PostgreSQL migration path
## 🚀 Quick Start
### Setup with uv
```bash
uv sync
```
### Setup with pip
```bash
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
### Setup with poetry
```bash
poetry install
```
### Run the application
```bash
uv run github-events-monitor-api
# or
python -m github_events_monitor.api
```
### Run the MCP server
```bash
uv run github-events-monitor-mcp
# or
python -m github_events_monitor.mcp_server
```
### Run the tests
```bash
uv run pytest
# or
pytest
```
### Local Development
```bash
export GITHUB_TOKEN=your_github_token_here
# Run REST API server
python -m github_events_monitor.api
# Or run MCP server
python -m github_events_monitor.mcp_server
```
### Docker Deployment
```bash
# Using Docker Compose (recommended)
docker-compose up -d
# Or with Docker directly
docker run -d \
--name github-events-monitor \
-p 8000:8000 \
-e GITHUB_TOKEN=your_token \
sparesparrow/github-events-monitor:latest
```
## 📊 API Endpoints
### Core Metrics (Assignment Requirements)
- `GET /metrics/event-counts?offset_minutes=10` - Event counts by type with time offset
- `GET /metrics/pr-interval?repo=owner/repo` - Average time between pull requests
### Additional Features
- `GET /metrics/repository-activity?repo=owner/repo&hours=24` - Repository activity summary
- `GET /metrics/trending?hours=24&limit=10` - Trending repositories
- `GET /visualization/trending-chart` - Chart visualization (bonus)
- `GET /health` - Health check endpoint
### Documentation
- Interactive API docs available at `http://localhost:8000/docs`
- OpenAPI specification at `http://localhost:8000/openapi.json`
## 🎯 Use Cases
### 1. Real-time Repository Health Check
Monitor short-term activity and overall health when you need a quick pulse (on-call, triage, stakeholder reviews).
```bash
# Get event volume by type over last 60 minutes
curl "http://localhost:8000/metrics/event-counts?offset_minutes=60"
# Check repository activity for last 24 hours
curl "http://localhost:8000/metrics/repository-activity?repo=owner/repo&hours=24"
```
### 2. Release Readiness Assessment
Assess if a codebase is trending toward a stable release by looking at PR cadence and activity distribution.
```bash
# Get average time between pull requests
curl "http://localhost:8000/metrics/pr-interval?repo=owner/repo"
```
### 3. Development Velocity Tracking
Track how frequently contributors open pull requests as a proxy for development velocity.
### 4. Incident Detection
Detect sudden spikes in Issues or PRs that may indicate incidents or regressions.
### 5. Community Interest Monitoring
Use WatchEvent counts as an interest/awareness signal for marketing or devrel purposes.
## 🏗️ Architecture
```
GitHub API → [Background Collector] → [SQLite DB] → [Metrics Engine] → [REST API / MCP Server]
```
- **Background Collector**: Async polling with rate limiting and ETag caching
- **SQLite Database**: Local storage with optimized indices
- **REST API**: FastAPI endpoints for metrics and visualizations
- **MCP Server**: AI tool integration via Model Context Protocol
## 🧪 Testing
```bash
# Run all tests
pytest
# Run specific test categories
pytest tests/unit # Unit tests
pytest tests/integration # Integration tests
# With coverage
pytest --cov=src/github_events_monitor
```
**Test Results**: 35/35 tests passing (100% success rate)
