调研方向

首先定位服务器现有的 tool-search 实现,并查看用于索引工具名称、描述、参数名称和参数描述的原型 benchmark 及其单元测试。与维护者确认首选范围,然后针对包含 49 个查询和 115 个工具的 benchmark 测量所选排名策略,并报告检索质量和延迟,且不得出现回归。

由索引模型根据 Issue 内容生成。

描述

enhancement request ai review
Describe the feature or problem you’d like to solve

The GitHub MCP Server already exposes tool discovery/search functionality, but
there is no repeatable benchmark for measuring how reliably natural-language
queries retrieve the intended MCP tool.

As the tool inventory grows, a benchmark would make ranking changes measurable
and help prevent retrieval regressions.

This is separate from host-side deferred tool loading discussed in #1680. The
proposal only concerns ranking inside the server's existing tool-search
implementation.

Proposed solution

Add a hand-labelled benchmark covering natural-language intents across the
server's major toolsets, then compare the current heuristic with an indexed
BM25 implementation.

A prototype benchmark contains 49 queries over 115 unique tools and produced:

Strategy Recall@1 Recall@3 MRR@10 Query latency
Current heuristic 71.4% 81.6% 0.792 ~2.25 ms
Indexed BM25 71.4% 87.8% 0.802 ~34 µs
Hybrid RRF 73.5% 87.8% 0.823 ~2.38 ms

Indexed BM25 improved Recall@3 by 6.1 percentage points and was approximately
66x faster per query. The hybrid produced the strongest ranking quality.

Before submitting a PR, I would appreciate maintainer guidance on the preferred
scope:

  1. Benchmark harness only
  2. Benchmark plus indexed BM25
  3. Benchmark plus a hybrid ranking experiment
Example prompts or workflows
  • "Find open issues assigned to me across repositories"
  • "Read the files, reviews, and diff for a pull request"
  • "Download logs for a failed workflow job"
  • "Find exposed secrets detected in a repository"
  • "Add an issue to a GitHub project"
Additional context

The benchmark uses the complete current tool inventory and validates that every
labelled relevant tool exists. The prototype includes unit tests for indexing
tool names, descriptions, parameter names, and parameter descriptions.
