Implementation Reference
- defillama_server.py:115-125 (handler)The handler function for the 'get_protocol_tvl' tool. It is automatically registered as an MCP tool via the @mcp.tool() decorator. The function signature and docstring define the input schema (protocol: str) and output (str representing JSON response). It fetches the current TVL from DefiLlama API using the make_request helper.
