Implementation Reference
- index.js:288-301 (registration)Registers the 'update_task' tool in the MCP server's tool list, including its description and input schema definition.{ name: "update_task", description: "Update a task", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { taskId: { type: "number" }, status: { type: "string", enum: ["To Do", "In Progress", "Completed", "Blocked"] }, actualHours: { type: "number" }, notes: { type: "string" }, }, required: ["taskId"], }, },
- index.js:291-300 (schema)Defines the input schema for the 'update_task' tool, specifying parameters like taskId (required), status, actualHours, and notes.inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { taskId: { type: "number" }, status: { type: "string", enum: ["To Do", "In Progress", "Completed", "Blocked"] }, actualHours: { type: "number" }, notes: { type: "string" }, }, required: ["taskId"], },
- index.js:662-664 (handler)Implements the handler logic for the 'update_task' tool by calling the backend API with action 'updateTask' and the provided arguments.case "update_task": result = await callAPI("updateTask", args); break;
- index.js:74-131 (helper)Helper function 'callAPI' that proxies all tool calls, including 'updateTask', to the external Google Apps Script backend.async function callAPI(action, data = {}) { debugLog('=== API CALL START ==='); debugLog(`Action: ${action}`); debugLog(`Data: ${JSON.stringify(data)}`); try { // Build form-encoded body for POST const formData = new URLSearchParams(); formData.append('action', action); // Add all data fields to form for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(data)) { if (value !== undefined && value !== null) { formData.append(key, value.toString()); } } const formString = formData.toString(); debugLog(`FormData: ${formString}`); debugLog(`API_URL: ${API_URL}`); // Use POST with proper content type const response = await fetch(API_URL, { method: 'POST', headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/x-www-form-urlencoded', }, body: formString }); debugLog(`Response status: ${response.status}`); debugLog(`Response ok: ${response.ok}`); if (!response.ok) { debugLog(`Response not OK: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); throw new Error(`API request failed: ${response.status} ${response.statusText}`); } const text = await response.text(); debugLog(`Response text length: ${text.length}`); debugLog(`Response text: ${text}`); if (!text) { debugLog('ERROR: Empty response from API'); throw new Error('Empty response from API'); } const parsed = JSON.parse(text); debugLog(`Parsed successfully: ${JSON.stringify(parsed)}`); debugLog('=== API CALL END ==='); return parsed; } catch (error) { debugLog(`ERROR in callAPI: ${error.message}`); debugLog(`ERROR stack: ${error.stack}`); throw error; } }
