Problem: The MCP tool previously handled project root acquisition and path resolution within its method, leading to potential inconsistencies and repetition.
Solution: Refactored the tool () to utilize the new Higher-Order Function (HOF) from .
Specific Changes:
- Imported HOF.
- Updated the Zod schema for the parameter to be optional, as the HOF handles deriving it from the session if not provided.
- Wrapped the entire function body with the HOF.
- Removed the manual call to from within the function body.
- Destructured the from the object received by the wrapped function, ensuring it's the normalized path provided by the HOF.
- Used the normalized variable when calling and when passing arguments to .
This change standardizes project root handling for the tool, simplifies its method, and ensures consistent path normalization. This serves as the pattern for refactoring other MCP tools.
Problem:
- Task Master model configuration wasn't properly checking for API keys in the project's .env file when running through MCP
- The isApiKeySet function was only checking session.env and process.env but not inspecting the .env file directly
- This caused incorrect API key status reporting in MCP tools even when keys were properly set in .env
Solution:
- Modified resolveEnvVariable function in utils.js to properly read from .env file at projectRoot
- Updated isApiKeySet to correctly pass projectRoot to resolveEnvVariable
- Enhanced the key detection logic to have consistent behavior between CLI and MCP contexts
- Maintains the correct precedence: session.env → .env file → process.env
Testing:
- Verified working correctly with both MCP and CLI tools
- API keys properly detected in .env file in both contexts
- Deleted .cursor/mcp.json to confirm introspection of .env as fallback works
