"""GitHub MCP Server Labels Example - Parsing Security Labels from MCP Metadata.
This example demonstrates how to:
1. Connect to the GitHub MCP server
2. Fetch tools from the MCP server
3. Call get_issue to retrieve issues with security labels in metadata
4. Parse these labels in the security middleware and enforce policies
The GitHub MCP server returns per-field security labels in the format:
{
"labels": {
"title": {"integrity": "low", "confidentiality": ["public"]},
"body": {"integrity": "low", "confidentiality": ["public"]},
"user": {"integrity": "high", "confidentiality": ["public"]},
...
}
}
Confidentiality uses a "readers lattice":
- ["public"] → PUBLIC (anyone can read)
- ["user_id_1", "user_id_2", ...] → PRIVATE (only collaborators)
The middleware automatically parses these labels:
- "integrity": "low" → UNTRUSTED (user-controlled content like title/body)
- "integrity": "high" → TRUSTED (system-controlled like user info)
To run this example:
1. Set up the GitHub MCP server binary
2. Create a file with your GitHub Personal Access Token
3. Run: python github_mcp_labels_example.py
