Implementation Reference

  • The main execution logic for the getBalance tool. Parses the address into a PublicKey, retrieves the lamports balance from Solana RPC, converts to SOL, and returns formatted response or error.
    async ({ address }) => {
      try {
        const publicKey = new PublicKey(address);
        const balance = await connection.getBalance(publicKey);
        const solBalance = balance / LAMPORTS_PER_SOL; // Using LAMPORTS_PER_SOL constant
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Balance for ${address}:\n${solBalance} SOL`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (err) {
        const error = err as Error;
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Failed to retrieve balance for address: ${error.message}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod input schema validating the 'address' parameter as a string with description.
    {
      address: z.string().describe("Solana account address"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:56-88 (registration)
    Calls server.tool() to register the getBalance tool with its name, description, schema, and handler function.
    server.tool(
      "getBalance",
      "Get balance for a Solana address",
      {
        address: z.string().describe("Solana account address"),
      },
      async ({ address }) => {
        try {
          const publicKey = new PublicKey(address);
          const balance = await connection.getBalance(publicKey);
          const solBalance = balance / LAMPORTS_PER_SOL; // Using LAMPORTS_PER_SOL constant
    
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Balance for ${address}:\n${solBalance} SOL`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (err) {
          const error = err as Error;
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Failed to retrieve balance for address: ${error.message}`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
