Summary

The MCP server (blackduck/mcp_server.py) exposes list_project_components and get_project_vulnerabilities, but nothing wires up BlackDuck's upgrade-guidance endpoints — so an agent using this MCP server can find a vulnerable component but has no way to ask "what should I upgrade to?" without dropping out of MCP and hitting the REST API directly.

What this adds

  • A new get_upgrade_guidance(component_id, component_version_id) tool. It tries .../transitive-upgrade-guidance first, then falls back to .../upgrade-guidance — the transitive variant needs an originId that isn't always available from list_project_components's output, so the fallback keeps the tool useful even without it.
  • componentId / componentVersionId fields added to list_project_components's output (extracted from the existing component/componentVersion href fields), so a caller can chain straight from list_project_components into get_upgrade_guidance without any extra lookups.

Testing

  • Live-verified against a real BlackDuck 2025.7.1 instance on an actual vulnerable component (ag-grid-community 24.0.0) — transitive-upgrade-guidance 404'd (no originId), correctly fell back, and returned real short/long-term upgrade recommendations with vulnerability-risk counts (e.g. long-term target with 0 critical/high/medium/low).
  • Also verified on Apache Commons BeanUtils (1.8.0/1.9.1/1.9.3) — all three resolved to the same safe target version (1.11.0, zero known vulnerabilities), consistent with what the BlackDuck UI itself would recommend.
  • Added test/test_mcp_server_upgrade_guidance.py: unit tests (mocked Client, no network) covering the fallback behavior, the both-endpoints-unavailable case, and the id-extraction addition to list_project_components.
  • Ran the full existing suite (pytest test/) — all 45 tests pass, no regressions.

Note: the new test file guards its fastmcp import with pytest.importorskip since fastmcp isn't in requirements.lock.txt (it's the optional mcp extra) — so it skips cleanly rather than failing CI in environments without it installed.

Possible follow-ups (didn't want to scope-creep this PR)

  • Origin-aware lookup so transitive-upgrade-guidance can actually succeed when an originId is available (e.g. threading it through from a BOM listing that includes origins).
  • list_project_components could optionally return originId alongside componentId/componentVersionId to support the above.

Happy to adjust scope, naming, or approach — this is one of my first contributions to a project I don't maintain, so please push back on anything that doesn't fit your conventions.

Related: #298 (independent bug fix in the same file, opened separately so it can be reviewed/merged on its own).

Summary

The MCP server (blackduck/mcp_server.py) exposes list_project_components and get_project_vulnerabilities, but nothing wires up BlackDuck's upgrade-guidance endpoints — so an agent using this MCP server can find a vulnerable component but has no way to ask "what should I upgrade to?" without dropping out of MCP and hitting the REST API directly.

What this adds

  • A new get_upgrade_guidance(component_id, component_version_id) tool. It tries .../transitive-upgrade-guidance first, then falls back to .../upgrade-guidance — the transitive variant needs an originId that isn't always available from list_project_components's output, so the fallback keeps the tool useful even without it.
  • componentId / componentVersionId fields added to list_project_components's output (extracted from the existing component/componentVersion href fields), so a caller can chain straight from list_project_components into get_upgrade_guidance without any extra lookups.

Testing

  • Live-verified against a real BlackDuck 2025.7.1 instance on an actual vulnerable component (ag-grid-community 24.0.0) — transitive-upgrade-guidance 404'd (no originId), correctly fell back, and returned real short/long-term upgrade recommendations with vulnerability-risk counts (e.g. long-term target with 0 critical/high/medium/low).
  • Also verified on Apache Commons BeanUtils (1.8.0/1.9.1/1.9.3) — all three resolved to the same safe target version (1.11.0, zero known vulnerabilities), consistent with what the BlackDuck UI itself would recommend.
  • Added test/test_mcp_server_upgrade_guidance.py: unit tests (mocked Client, no network) covering the fallback behavior, the both-endpoints-unavailable case, and the id-extraction addition to list_project_components.
  • Ran the full existing suite (pytest test/) — all 45 tests pass, no regressions.

Note: the new test file guards its fastmcp import with pytest.importorskip since fastmcp isn't in requirements.lock.txt (it's the optional mcp extra) — so it skips cleanly rather than failing CI in environments without it installed.

Possible follow-ups (didn't want to scope-creep this PR)

  • Origin-aware lookup so transitive-upgrade-guidance can actually succeed when an originId is available (e.g. threading it through from a BOM listing that includes origins).
  • list_project_components could optionally return originId alongside componentId/componentVersionId to support the above.

Happy to adjust scope, naming, or approach — this is one of my first contributions to a project I don't maintain, so please push back on anything that doesn't fit your conventions.

Related: #298 (independent bug fix in the same file, opened separately so it can be reviewed/merged on its own).

Wires up the upgrade-guidance endpoint that Black Duck exposes but the
existing MCP tools never call. Tries transitive-upgrade-guidance first,
falls back to upgrade-guidance since the transitive variant requires an
originId not always available from list_project_components. Also adds
componentId/componentVersionId to list_project_components output so
results can be chained straight into this tool.
