# Tool Implementation Examples This example demonstrates how to create and use MCP tools with the TypeScript Advanced template. ## Features Demonstrated - **Tool Definition** - Defining tools with JSON Schema validation - **Input/Output Schemas** - TypeScript types with runtime validation - **Error Handling** - Comprehensive error management - **Testing** - Unit tests for tool functionality ## Example Tools ### 1. Calculator Tool A simple mathematical calculator with operator validation. ### 2. Text Analyzer Tool Analyzes text for word count, sentiment, and readability. ### 3. Code Generator Tool Generates code snippets in multiple languages. ## Running the Example ```bash # From the template root directory npm run example:tools # Run with test client node examples/tools/client-demo.js ``` ## Key Concepts - Tools are the primary way MCP servers expose functionality - Each tool must have a name, description, and input schema - Output schemas are optional but recommended for type safety - Use Zod for runtime validation and type generation - Always handle errors gracefully with meaningful messages ## Testing ```bash # Run tool-specific tests npm test -- tools # Run integration tests npm run test:integration ```
