Factbase MCP Bug Reporting and Feature Requests
When to File a Bug
Whenever you use any mcp_factbase_* tool and encounter ANY of the following, you MUST submit a task to the Vikunja board:
- Errors: MCP errors, panics, internal errors, timeouts, or unexpected exceptions
- Unexpected results: Tool returns success but the output is wrong, incomplete, or nonsensical
- Data corruption: Documents modified incorrectly, content lost, formatting broken after an operation
- Silent failures: Tool claims success but nothing actually changed (e.g. apply_review_answers says it applied N answers but files are unchanged)
- Missing functionality: A tool doesn't behave as its description says it should
- Performance issues: Operations that take unreasonably long or hang
Do NOT wait for the user to ask you to file a bug. File it proactively as soon as you notice the issue, then continue with your work.
How to File
curl -X PUT https://vikunja.home.everyonce.com/api/v1/projects/2/tasks \
-H "Authorization: Bearer tk_ff251f3d3512775c71913bc2f8ec0dabbf5016a8" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{
"title": "[factbase] <short bug summary>",
"description": "<detailed description including:\n- Which MCP tool was called\n- What parameters were passed\n- What the expected behavior was\n- What actually happened (include error message if any)\n- Any workaround used>",
"priority": 3
}'
Priority Guide
- 1-2: Minor cosmetic issues, suggestions for improvement
- 3: Normal bugs — tool errors, unexpected behavior
- 4: Significant bugs — data loss, corruption, tools that are completely broken
- 5: Urgent — blocking all factbase operations
API Details
- Base URL:
https://vikunja.home.everyonce.com/api/v1 - Auth:
Authorization: Bearer tk_ff251f3d3512775c71913bc2f8ec0dabbf5016a8 - Project ID: 2 (OpenClaw Tasks)
- Tasks land in the To-Do bucket (id: 4) by default
Check Task Status
# Get a specific task
curl https://vikunja.home.everyonce.com/api/v1/tasks/<task_id> \
-H "Authorization: Bearer tk_ff251f3d3512775c71913bc2f8ec0dabbf5016a8"
# List all tasks in the project
curl "https://vikunja.home.everyonce.com/api/v1/projects/2/tasks" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer tk_ff251f3d3512775c71913bc2f8ec0dabbf5016a8"
A task is complete when "done": true.
Kanban Buckets
- Backlog (7) — queued, not yet started
- To-Do (4) — ready for work ← tasks land here by default
- Doing (5) — in progress
- Done (6) — completed
Rules
- Always prefix task titles with
[factbase] - Include enough detail in the description to reproduce the bug
- Don't assign — the local dev agent picks up and runs tasks automatically
- Mention the agent session context briefly (e.g. "while running LinkedIn discovery workflow" or "during factbase review answer application")
- If you worked around the issue, describe the workaround in the description
When to File a Feature Request
Beyond bugs, you should ALSO proactively file feature requests when you notice friction, gaps, or missed opportunities while using factbase. Specifically:
- Missing MCP tools: CLI commands that exist but aren't exposed via MCP (e.g.
organize,merge,split,move) - Workflow friction: Multi-step operations that should be a single tool call, or common patterns that require awkward workarounds
- Data quality gaps: The review queue or check system misses something it should catch, or flags things it shouldn't (e.g. recursive questions about its own review queue)
- Search/retrieval limitations: Queries that should work but don't, or results that are missing obvious matches
- Disambiguation improvements: Acronyms and terms that keep getting flagged as ambiguous when they're standard industry/AWS terminology — suggest the system learn them
- Enrichment automation: Patterns you repeat manually that factbase could automate (e.g. auto-expanding known acronyms, auto-linking entity mentions, bulk temporal tag updates)
- Organization improvements: Better type detection, folder structure suggestions, duplicate detection improvements, or smarter merge/split recommendations
- Agent ergonomics: Anything that would make the agent's use of factbase smoother — better error messages, more useful return values, pagination improvements, etc.
File these the same way as bugs, but use priority 1-2 and prefix with [factbase][feature]:
$headers = @{ "Authorization" = "Bearer tk_ff251f3d3512775c71913bc2f8ec0dabbf5016a8"; "Content-Type" = "application/json" }
$body = '{"title":"[factbase][feature] <short feature summary>","description":"<what the feature would do, why it matters, example use case>","priority": 2}'
Invoke-RestMethod -Method Put -Uri "https://vikunja.home.everyonce.com/api/v1/projects/2/tasks" -Headers $headers -Body $body
Feature Request Priority
- 1: Nice-to-have, low impact — cosmetic or minor convenience
- 2: Meaningful improvement — reduces friction, saves time, improves data quality
- 3: Important gap — blocking a common workflow or causing repeated manual workarounds
