Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool handler for 'add_todo' which checks for current goal, extracts todo arguments, delegates to storage.addTodo, and returns the created todo as JSON text.
    case 'add_todo': {
      if (!this.currentGoal) {
        throw new McpError(
          ErrorCode.InvalidRequest,
          'No active goal. Start a new planning session first.'
        );
      }
    
      const todo = request.params.arguments as Omit<
        Todo,
        'id' | 'isComplete' | 'createdAt' | 'updatedAt'
      >;
      const newTodo = await storage.addTodo(this.currentGoal.id, todo);
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(newTodo, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Input JSON schema for the 'add_todo' tool defining required title, description, complexity and optional codeExample.
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        title: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Title of the todo item',
        },
        description: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Detailed description of the todo item',
        },
        complexity: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Complexity score (0-10)',
          minimum: 0,
          maximum: 10,
        },
        codeExample: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Optional code example',
        },
      },
      required: ['title', 'description', 'complexity'],
    },
  • src/index.ts:141-168 (registration)
    Registration of the 'add_todo' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler's tools array.
    {
      name: 'add_todo',
      description: 'Add a new todo item to the current plan',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          title: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Title of the todo item',
          },
          description: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Detailed description of the todo item',
          },
          complexity: {
            type: 'number',
            description: 'Complexity score (0-10)',
            minimum: 0,
            maximum: 10,
          },
          codeExample: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Optional code example',
          },
        },
        required: ['title', 'description', 'complexity'],
      },
    },
  • Helper function in storage that implements adding a todo: fetches plan, creates full Todo object, appends to plan, saves to JSON file, returns todo.
    async addTodo(
      goalId: string,
      { title, description, complexity, codeExample }: Omit<Todo, 'id' | 'isComplete' | 'createdAt' | 'updatedAt'>
    ): Promise<Todo> {
      const plan = await this.getPlan(goalId);
      if (!plan) {
        throw new Error(`No plan found for goal ${goalId}`);
      }
    
      const todo: Todo = {
        id: Date.now().toString(),
        title,
        description,
        complexity,
        codeExample,
        isComplete: false,
        createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
        updatedAt: new Date().toISOString(),
      };
    
      plan.todos.push(todo);
      plan.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
      await this.save();
      return todo;
    }
