Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function that executes the 'evm_getentitiesbycategory' tool (and all others) by validating inputs, constructing the API request to the Moralis EVM endpoint, applying authentication, and returning the formatted response.

  • src/server.ts:66-72 (registration)
    Registers all tools, including 'evm_getentitiesbycategory', by building toolDefinitionMap from EVM OpenAPI spec using prefix 'evm_' and extractToolsFromApi.
    let toolDefinitionMap: Record<string, McpToolDefinition> = {}; for (const config of configArray) toolDefinitionMap = { ...toolDefinitionMap, ...(await mapToolDefinitions(config)), };
  • Extracts tool definitions from Moralis EVM OpenAPI spec, generating schema, name with 'evm_' prefix, description, parameters for 'getentitiesbycategory' operation.
    export function extractToolsFromApi( api: OpenAPIV3DocumentX, prefix?: string ): McpToolDefinition[] { const tools: McpToolDefinition[] = []; const usedNames = new Set<string>(); const globalSecurity = api.security || []; if (!api.paths) return tools; for (const [path, pathItem] of Object.entries(api.paths)) { if (!pathItem) continue; for (const method of Object.values(OpenAPIV3.HttpMethods)) { const operation = pathItem[method]; if (!operation) continue; // Generate a unique name for the tool let baseName = operation.operationId || generateOperationId(method, path); if (!baseName) continue; // Sanitize the name to be MCP-compatible (only a-z, 0-9, _, -) baseName = baseName .replace(/\./g, '_') .replace(/[^a-z0-9_-]/gi, '_') .toLowerCase(); let finalToolName = baseName; let counter = 1; while (usedNames.has(finalToolName)) { finalToolName = `${baseName}_${counter++}`; } usedNames.add(finalToolName); // Get or create a description const description = operation.description || operation.summary || `Executes ${method.toUpperCase()} ${path}`; const prompt = operation['x-mcp-prompt']; // Generate input schema and extract parameters const { inputSchema, parameters, requestBodyContentType } = generateInputSchemaAndDetails(operation); // Extract parameter details for execution const executionParameters = parameters.map((p) => ({ name: p.name, in: p.in, })); // Determine security requirements const securityRequirements = operation.security === null ? globalSecurity : operation.security || globalSecurity; // Create the tool definition tools.push({ name: prefix + finalToolName, description, inputSchema, method, pathTemplate: path, parameters, executionParameters, requestBodyContentType, securityRequirements, operationId: baseName, prompt, }); } } return tools; }
  • src/server.ts:26-44 (registration)
    Maps OpenAPI spec from EVM_CONFIG.specUrl to tool definitions, applying 'evm_' prefix and filtering blacklist, populating toolDefinitionMap used for registration.
    async function mapToolDefinitions(config: SchemaConfig) { const spec = (await getSpec(config.specUrl)) as OpenAPIV3DocumentX; const api = (await SwaggerParser.dereference(spec)) as OpenAPIV3DocumentX; const tools = extractToolsFromApi(api, config.prefix); const blacklist = Array.isArray(api['x-mcp-blacklist']) ? api['x-mcp-blacklist'].map((e) => `${config.prefix}${e.toLowerCase()}`) : []; const toolDefinitionMap: Record<string, McpToolDefinition> = {}; for (const tool of tools) { if (blacklist.includes(tool.name)) continue; toolDefinitionMap[tool.name] = { ...tool, baseUrl: config.baseUrl, }; } return toolDefinitionMap; }
  • EVM configuration defining 'evm_' prefix, baseUrl, and specUrl for the Moralis Deep Index API from which 'evm_getentitiesbycategory' is extracted.
    evm: { prefix: 'evm_', baseUrl: process.env.API_BASE_URL || 'https://deep-index.moralis.io/api/v2.2', specUrl: process.env.API_SPEC_URL || 'https://deep-index.moralis.io/api-docs-2.2/v2.2/swagger.json', },
