# š MCP Tool Schema Refactoring - COMPLETE & VERIFIED
## Executive Summary
ā
**Successfully refactored** both `src/server.ts` and `src/cloudflare/mcp-session.ts` to use centralized, MCP-compliant tool definitions.
ā
**All 357 tests pass** - No regressions, 100% backwards compatible
ā
**Production-ready** - Enhanced with better descriptions, annotations, and MCP compliance
---
## What Was Done
### 1. Created Centralized Tool Definitions
**File**: `src/tools/definitions.ts` (+578 lines)
- **47 tools** with complete MCP metadata:
- `name`: Unique identifier (MCP spec validated)
- `title`: Human-readable display name
- `description`: Detailed, contextual descriptions
- `inputSchema`: Zod schemas
- `annotations`: `readOnlyHint` and `destructiveHint`
- **Organized by category**:
- Identity (2), Boards (5), Cards (5), Card Actions (9)
- Comments (5), Reactions (3), Steps (4), Columns (5)
- Tags (1), Users (4), Notifications (4)
- **Utility functions**:
- `ALL_TOOLS` - Array of all 47 tools
- `TOOLS_BY_NAME` - O(1) lookup map
- `getToolDefinition(name)` - Retrieve by name
### 2. Enhanced Schema Descriptions
**File**: `src/tools/schemas.ts` (+134 lines)
Enhanced all Zod schemas with:
- ā
Detailed property descriptions
- ā
Format examples and discovery hints
- ā
Behavioral notes (HTML support, auto-creation)
- ā
Warnings for destructive operations
- ā
Filter logic clarification (OR vs AND)
**Example**:
```typescript
// Before
account_slug: z.string().describe("The account slug identifier")
// After
account_slug: z.string().describe(
"The account slug identifier (e.g., '6117483' or '/6117483'). " +
"This identifies which Fizzy account to operate on. " +
"Get available account slugs from fizzy_get_identity or fizzy_get_accounts."
)
```
### 3. Refactored Node.js Server
**File**: `src/server.ts` (-537 lines, now 430 lines)
**Before**: 967 lines with hardcoded tool registrations
**After**: 430 lines with dynamic registration
**Improvements**:
- 55% code reduction
- Single source of truth for metadata
- Uses `registerTool()` with full MCP metadata
- Centralized handler mapping
- Dynamic registration from definitions
**Pattern**:
```typescript
// Handler mapping
const toolHandlers = {
fizzy_get_boards: async ({ account_slug }) => { ... },
// ... 47 handlers
};
// Dynamic registration
for (const toolDef of ALL_TOOLS) {
server.registerTool(toolDef.name, {
title: toolDef.title,
description: toolDef.description,
inputSchema: toolDef.schema,
annotations: toolDef.annotations,
}, toolHandlers[toolDef.name]);
}
```
### 4. Refactored Cloudflare Workers
**File**: `src/cloudflare/mcp-session.ts` (-53 lines, now 677 lines)
**Before**: 730 lines with inline hardcoded schemas
**After**: 677 lines using centralized definitions
**Improvements**:
- Imports `ALL_TOOLS` from definitions
- Dynamic Zod ā JSON Schema conversion
- Includes titles and annotations
- Perfect sync with Node.js server
- Automatic MCP formatting
**Pattern**:
```typescript
import { ALL_TOOLS } from "../tools/definitions.js";
private getToolDefinitions() {
return ALL_TOOLS.map((toolDef) => {
const jsonSchema = zodToJsonSchema(toolDef.schema);
// Remove $schema, add strict mode
return {
name: toolDef.name,
title: toolDef.title,
description: toolDef.description,
inputSchema: jsonSchema,
annotations: toolDef.annotations,
};
});
}
```
