Implementation Reference

  • Main handler function osdrFilesHandler that executes the tool logic: validates accession_number, fetches files metadata from OSDR API, adds as resource, returns JSON.
    export async function osdrFilesHandler(args: OsdrFilesParams) { try { // Validate required parameters if (!args.accession_number) { throw new Error('Missing required parameter: accession_number must be provided.'); } // Base URL for the OSDR API const baseUrl = 'https://osdr.nasa.gov/osdr/data/osd/files'; const apiUrl = `${baseUrl}/${encodeURIComponent(args.accession_number)}`; // Make the API request using GET const response = await axios.get(apiUrl, { // OSDR API might require specific headers, e.g., Accept headers: { 'Accept': 'application/json' } }); const data = response.data; // Create a resource URI const resourceUri = `nasa://osdr/files/${encodeURIComponent(args.accession_number)}`; const resourceName = `OSDR Files for ${args.accession_number}`; // Add response to resources addResource(resourceUri, { name: resourceName, mimeType: "application/json", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }); // Format the response for MCP return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error: any) { let errorMessage = `Error accessing NASA OSDR Files API: ${error.message}`; if (error.response) { // Include more detail from the API response if available errorMessage += `\nStatus: ${error.response.status}\nData: ${JSON.stringify(error.response.data)}`; } return { content: [{ type: "text", text: errorMessage }], isError: true }; } }
  • Type definition for input parameters: requires accession_number string.
    interface OsdrFilesParams { accession_number: string; }
  • src/index.ts:1382-1394 (registration)
    Tool registration in tools/list handler, defining name 'nasa_osdr_files' and input schema matching the handler params.
    name: "nasa_osdr_files", description: "NASA OSDR - Get data files for an OSD study", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { accession_number: { type: "string", description: "OSD study accession number (e.g., '87')" } }, required: ["accession_number"] } },
  • src/index.ts:1866-1886 (registration)
    Dynamic import and execution logic in handleToolCall for NASA tools, loads ./handlers/nasa/osdr_files.js and calls default export osdrFilesHandler.
    const handlerModule = await import(`./handlers/nasa/${endpoint}.js`); serverInstance?.sendLoggingMessage({ level: "info", data: `Successfully imported handler module for: ./handlers/nasa/${endpoint}.js`, }); // Try different potential handler function names const handlerFunctionName = `nasa${endpoint.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + endpoint.slice(1).replace(/-/g, '_')}Handler`; // e.g. nasaMars_roverHandler const simpleHandlerName = `${endpoint.replace(/-/g, '_')}Handler`; // e.g. mars_roverHandler const handlerFunction = handlerModule.default || handlerModule[handlerFunctionName] || handlerModule[simpleHandlerName]; if (typeof handlerFunction === 'function') { serverInstance?.sendLoggingMessage({ level: "info", data: `Executing handler function for ${endpoint}`, }); return await handlerFunction(args); } else {
