- src/utils/mongoose.ts:74-89 (handler)Core handler logic for moving a task: finds the task by ID, updates its status, and saves to database.
export async function moveTask( taskId: string, newStatus: "todo" | "inProgress" | "done" ) { try { const task = await Task.findById(taskId); if (!task) { throw new Error("Task not found"); } task.taskStatus = newStatus; await task.save(); } catch { throw new Error("Failed to move task"); } } - src/index.ts:79-82 (schema)Zod input schema for the move-task tool parameters.
{ task_id: z.string(), new_status: z.enum(["todo", "inProgress", "done"]), }, - src/index.ts:76-111 (registration)Registration of the 'move-task' tool with MCP server, including description, schema, hints, and wrapper handler.
server.tool( "move-task", "move a task to a different status", { task_id: z.string(), new_status: z.enum(["todo", "inProgress", "done"]), }, { title: "move a task to a different status", readonlyHint: false, destructiveHint: false, idempotentHint: false, openWorldHint: true, }, async (params) => { try { await mongooseUtils.moveTask(params.task_id, params.new_status); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Task "${params.task_id}" moved to "${params.new_status}" successfully!`, }, ], }; } catch { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to move task "${params.task_id}" to "${params.new_status}".`, }, ], }; } } - src/utils/Task.js:6-10 (schema)Mongoose model schema defining the taskStatus field with matching enum values used by the tool.
