[language-support] Serena MCP tools unavailable — Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, and Python language support tests failed #1326

@github-actions

Description

@github-actions

Summary

The language support tester workflow ran on 2026-02-23 and was unable to test Go, TypeScript/JavaScript, or Python language support because Serena MCP tools (serena-* prefix) are not available in the agent environment.

Languages Affected

  • Goserena-get_symbols_overview and serena-find_symbol not available
  • TypeScript/JavaScriptserena-get_symbols_overview and serena-find_symbol not available
  • Pythonserena-get_symbols_overview and serena-find_symbol not available

Specific Errors

When attempting to call Serena MCP tools in the agent session, none of the serena-* prefixed tools were registered in the toolset. The complete available toolset consisted only of bash, view, edit, grep, glob, sql, github-, and safeoutputs- tools — no serena-* tools were present.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Trigger the language-support-tester workflow (workflow run ID: 22292708646)
  2. The agent attempts to call serena-get_symbols_overview and serena-find_symbol
  3. Tools are not found/registered — all calls fail

Possible Root Causes

  1. The Serena MCP server is not running or failed to start in the workflow environment
  2. The MCP gateway is not configured with a serena server entry, or the entry is misconfigured
  3. The tool-registration handshake between the MCP gateway and Serena backend failed
  4. The Serena MCP server is not connected to the agent's session

Diagnostics to Check

  • Confirm the serena process is active in the workflow runner
  • Check config.toml / awmg-config.json for a serena server entry
  • Check mcp-gateway.log for Serena backend startup errors
  • Check tools.json in the log directory to see if Serena tools were registered

Workflow Run

  • Run ID: 22292708646
  • Repository: github/gh-aw-mcpg
  • Date: 2026-02-23
