Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'list_chains' tool. It retrieves the list of Kroger chains using the client API, formats the data, provides context feedback, handles errors, and returns a structured dictionary.
    async def list_chains(ctx: Context = None) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Get a list of all Kroger-owned chains. Returns: Dictionary containing chain information """ if ctx: await ctx.info("Getting list of Kroger chains") client = get_client_credentials_client() try: chains = client.location.list_chains() if not chains or "data" not in chains or not chains["data"]: return { "success": False, "message": "No chains found", "data": [] } # Format chain data formatted_chains = [ { "name": chain.get("name"), "division_numbers": chain.get("divisionNumbers", []) } for chain in chains["data"] ] if ctx: await ctx.info(f"Found {len(formatted_chains)} chains") return { "success": True, "count": len(formatted_chains), "data": formatted_chains } except Exception as e: if ctx: await ctx.error(f"Error listing chains: {str(e)}") return { "success": False, "error": str(e), "data": [] }
  • Registration block in the server creation where info_tools.register_tools(mcp) is called at line 75, registering the list_chains tool along with others.
    location_tools.register_tools(mcp) product_tools.register_tools(mcp) cart_tools.register_tools(mcp) info_tools.register_tools(mcp) profile_tools.register_tools(mcp) utility_tools.register_tools(mcp) auth_tools.register_tools(mcp)
  • Helper function used by list_chains to obtain a KrogerAPI client with client credentials for accessing public location data.
    def get_client_credentials_client() -> KrogerAPI: """Get or create a client credentials authenticated client for public data""" global _client_credentials_client if _client_credentials_client is not None and _client_credentials_client.test_current_token(): return _client_credentials_client _client_credentials_client = None try: load_and_validate_env(["KROGER_CLIENT_ID", "KROGER_CLIENT_SECRET"]) _client_credentials_client = KrogerAPI() # Try to load existing token first token_file = ".kroger_token_client_product.compact.json" token_info = load_token(token_file) if token_info: # Test if the token is still valid _client_credentials_client.client.token_info = token_info if _client_credentials_client.test_current_token(): # Token is valid, use it return _client_credentials_client # Token is invalid or not found, get a new one token_info = _client_credentials_client.authorization.get_token_with_client_credentials("product.compact") return _client_credentials_client except Exception as e: raise Exception(f"Failed to get client credentials: {str(e)}")
