Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for all dynamically registered API tools, including 'evm_getlatestblocknumber'. It takes the tool definition (from OpenAPI parsing), user arguments, constructs the appropriate HTTP request to the Moralis EVM API endpoint, handles authentication with API key, executes via axios, and returns formatted JSON/text response.
    export async function executeApiTool( toolName: string, definition: McpToolDefinition, toolArgs: JsonObject, allSecuritySchemes: Record<string, any>, token?: string, ): Promise<CallToolResult> { try { // Validate arguments against the input schema let validatedArgs: JsonObject; try { const zodSchema = getZodSchemaFromJsonSchema( definition.inputSchema, toolName, ); const argsToParse = typeof toolArgs === 'object' && toolArgs !== null ? toolArgs : {}; validatedArgs = zodSchema.parse(argsToParse); } catch (error: unknown) { if (error instanceof ZodError) { const validationErrorMessage = `Invalid arguments for tool '${toolName}': ${error.errors.map((e) => `${e.path.join('.')} (${e.code}): ${e.message}`).join(', ')}`; return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: validationErrorMessage }] }; } else { const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Internal error during validation setup: ${errorMessage}`, }, ], }; } } // Prepare URL, query parameters, headers, and request body let urlPath = definition.pathTemplate; const queryParams: Record<string, any> = {}; const headers: Record<string, string> = { Accept: 'application/json', 'X-Moralis-Platform': 'MCP', };

    Registers EVM tools by fetching Moralis OpenAPI spec, dereferencing, extracting tool definitions with 'evm_' prefix via extractToolsFromApi, building toolDefinitionMap used for ListTools response and CallTool dispatch.

  • Generates the inputSchema (JSON Schema) for each tool from OpenAPI operation parameters (path/query/header) and requestBody, used for MCP tool definition and Zod validation in handler.

    MCP CallTool request handler that looks up the tool definition by name (e.g. 'evm_getlatestblocknumber') and dispatches to the generic executeApiTool handler.
    server.setRequestHandler( CallToolRequestSchema, async (request: CallToolRequest, c): Promise<CallToolResult> => { const { name: toolName, arguments: toolArgs } = request.params; const toolDefinition = toolDefinitionMap[toolName]; if (!toolDefinition) { console.error(`Error: Unknown tool requested: ${toolName}`); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error: Unknown tool requested: ${toolName}`, }, ], }; } return executeApiTool( toolName, toolDefinition, toolArgs ?? {}, securitySchemes, c.authInfo?.token, ); }, );
  • Configuration for EVM tools: defines 'evm_' prefix (key for tool name 'evm_getlatestblocknumber'), base API URL, and OpenAPI spec URL from which the tool 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', },
