Implementation Reference

• src/tools/toolConfigs.ts:303-314 (schema)

  Configuration object defining the schema (Zod parameters), description, endpoint, and method for the 'get-news' MCP tool.

  {
      name: 'get-news',
      description: 'Get news articles with pagination.',
      endpoint: '/news',
      method: 'GET',
      parameters: {
          page: z.number().optional().describe('Page number').default(1),
          limit: z.number().optional().describe('Number of results per page').default(20),
          from: z.string().optional().describe('Start date in ISO 8601 format'),
          to: z.string().optional().describe('End date in ISO 8601 format'),
      },
  },

• src/tools/toolFactory.ts:19-79 (registration)

  registerTools function that iterates over tool configurations (including 'get-news') and registers each as an MCP tool on the server using server.tool, providing the handler.

  export function registerTools(server: McpServer, toolConfigs: ToolConfig<any>[]) {
      toolConfigs.forEach((config) => {
          server.tool(config.name, config.description, config.parameters, async (params: Record<string, any>) => {

              if (config.isLocal) {
                  // Handle specific local tools
                  if (config.name === 'save-share-token') {

• src/services/request.ts:35-97 (handler)

  universalApiHandler implements the core execution logic for 'get-news': processes parameters, constructs URL with /news endpoint, fetches from CoinStats API, and returns JSON response.

  export async function universalApiHandler<T>(
      basePath: string,
      endpoint: string,
      method: string = 'GET',
      params: Record<string, any> = {},
      body?: any
  ): Promise<{
      content: Array<{ type: 'text'; text: string; isError?: boolean }>;
  }> {
      try {
          // Handle path parameters - replace {paramName} in endpoint with actual values
          let processedEndpoint = endpoint;
          let processedParams = { ...params };
  
          // Find all path parameters in the endpoint (e.g., {coinId}, {id}, {type})
          const pathParamMatches = endpoint.match(/\{([^}]+)\}/g);
  
          if (pathParamMatches) {
              for (const match of pathParamMatches) {
                  const paramName = match.slice(1, -1); // Remove { and }
  
                  if (processedParams[paramName] !== undefined) {
                      // Replace the placeholder with the actual value
                      processedEndpoint = processedEndpoint.replace(match, processedParams[paramName]);
                      // Remove the parameter from query params since it's now part of the path
                      delete processedParams[paramName];
                  } else {
                      throw new Error(`Required path parameter '${paramName}' is missing`);
                  }
              }
          }
  
          // MCP clients might not support '~' in parameter names, so we replace '-' with '~' specifically for the /coins endpoint before making the request.
          if (endpoint === '/coins') {
              processedParams = Object.entries(processedParams).reduce((acc, [key, value]) => {

          const data = await makeRequestCsApi<T>(url, method, processedParams, body);
  
          if (!data) {
              return {
                  content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Something went wrong', isError: true }],
              };

• src/index.ts:17-18 (registration)

  Explicit registration call for all tools including 'get-news' in the main MCP server setup.

  // Register all tools from configurations
  registerTools(server, allToolConfigs);

• src/services/request.ts:4-32 (helper)

  makeRequestCsApi performs the actual fetch request to the CoinStats API used by universalApiHandler for 'get-news'.

  export async function makeRequestCsApi<T>(url: string, method: string = 'GET', params: Record<string, any> = {}, body?: any): Promise<T | null> {
      const headers = {
          'X-API-KEY': COINSTATS_API_KEY,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
      };
  
      try {
          // Build request options
          const options: RequestInit = { method, headers };
  
          // Add body for non-GET requests if provided
          if (method !== 'GET' && body) {
              options.body = JSON.stringify(body);
          }
  
          // Add query params for all requests
          const queryParams = new URLSearchParams(params);
          const queryString = queryParams.toString();
          const urlWithParams = queryString ? `${url}?${queryString}` : url;
  
          const response = await fetch(urlWithParams, options);
          if (!response.ok) {
              throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`);
          }
          return (await response.json()) as T;
      } catch (error) {
          return null;
      }
  }
