Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the reverse-geocode tool logic using Google Maps API.
    export async function reverseGeocode( params: z.infer<typeof reverseGeocodeSchema>, extra?: any ) { const apiKey = process.env.GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY; if (!apiKey) { throw new Error("GOOGLE_MAPS_API_KEY is required"); } try { const response = await googleMapsClient.reverseGeocode({ params: { latlng: [params.latitude, params.longitude], key: apiKey, }, }); const results = response.data.results; if (results.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text" as const, text: "No results found for the given coordinates.", }, ], }; } const location = results[0]; return { content: [ { type: "text" as const, text: formatLocationToMarkdown( "Reverse Geocoded Location", location.formatted_address, params.latitude, params.longitude, location.place_id ), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text" as const, text: `Error reverse geocoding coordinates: ${ error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error) }`, }, ], }; } }
  • Zod schema defining input parameters for reverse-geocode tool.
    export const reverseGeocodeSchema = z.object({ latitude: z.number().describe("The latitude"), longitude: z.number().describe("The longitude"), });
  • src/index.ts:70-77 (registration)
    Registration of the reverse-geocode tool in the MCP server.
    server.tool( "reverse-geocode", "Convert coordinates to an address", reverseGeocodeSchema.shape, async (params) => { return await reverseGeocode(params); } );
  • Helper function to format the reverse geocoding result into Markdown.
    function formatLocationToMarkdown(title: string, address: string, lat: number, lng: number, placeId?: string): string { let markdown = `# ${title}\n\n`; markdown += `Address: ${address} \n`; markdown += `Coordinates: ${lat}, ${lng} \n`; if (placeId) markdown += `Place ID: \`${placeId}\` \n`; markdown += `Google Maps: [View on Maps](https://maps.google.com/?q=${lat},${lng})`; return markdown;
