Implementation Reference
- The core MCP tool handler for 'get_user_replies'. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), defines input schema via Annotated Fields (username: str, offset: int|None), and delegates to the DiscourseClient via get_client() to fetch the user's replies as a list of UserAction objects.@mcp.tool() def get_user_replies( username: Annotated[ str, Field(description="The user's handle"), ], offset: Annotated[ int | None, Field(default=None, description="Pagination offset (0, 30, 60, ...)"), ] = None, ) -> list[UserAction]: """ Fetch replies/posts made by a user in other topics.
