Deprecated Tool Aliases

This document tracks tool renames in the GitHub MCP Server. When tools are renamed, the old names are preserved as aliases for backward compatibility. Using a deprecated alias will still work, but clients should migrate to the new canonical name.

Current Deprecations

Old Name New Name
(none currently)

How It Works

When a tool is renamed:

  1. The old name is added to DeprecatedToolAliases in pkg/github/deprecated_tool_aliases.go
  2. Clients using the old name will receive the new tool
  3. A deprecation notice is logged when the alias is used

For Developers

To deprecate a tool name when renaming:

var DeprecatedToolAliases = map[string]string{
    "old_tool_name": "new_tool_name",
}

The alias resolution happens at server startup, ensuring backward compatibility for existing client configurations.
