Implementation Reference
- src/tools/todosets.ts:32-58 (handler)Executes the core logic of the 'get_todoset' tool: resolves the todoset ID and URL from the Basecamp project dock, and optionally fetches the list of todo lists.async ({ project_id, include_lists }) => { const resolved = await getTodosetFromDock(project_id); if (!resolved) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No to-do set found in the project's dock." }, ], }; } if (!include_lists) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(resolved, null, 2) }], }; } const lists = await bcRequest<any[]>( "GET", `/buckets/${project_id}/todosets/${resolved.id}/todolists.json` ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ todoset: resolved, lists }, null, 2), }, ], }; }
- src/tools/todosets.ts:23-30 (schema)Input schema, title, and description for the 'get_todoset' tool, using Zod for validation.{ title: "Get a project's to-do set (via dock)", description: "Resolves the project's to-do set by reading the dock; can include lists.", inputSchema: { project_id: z.number().int(), include_lists: z.boolean().optional(), },
- src/tools/todosets.ts:21-59 (registration)Registers the 'get_todoset' tool on the MCP server with its name, schema, and handler function.server.registerTool( "get_todoset", { title: "Get a project's to-do set (via dock)", description: "Resolves the project's to-do set by reading the dock; can include lists.", inputSchema: { project_id: z.number().int(), include_lists: z.boolean().optional(), }, }, async ({ project_id, include_lists }) => { const resolved = await getTodosetFromDock(project_id); if (!resolved) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "No to-do set found in the project's dock." }, ], }; } if (!include_lists) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(resolved, null, 2) }], }; } const lists = await bcRequest<any[]>( "GET", `/buckets/${project_id}/todosets/${resolved.id}/todolists.json` ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ todoset: resolved, lists }, null, 2), }, ], }; } );
- src/tools/todosets.ts:6-17 (helper)Helper function that queries the Basecamp project dock to extract the todoset ID and URL.async function getTodosetFromDock( project_id: number ): Promise<{ id: number; url: string } | null> { const project = await bcRequest<any>("GET", `/projects/${project_id}.json`); const dock = Array.isArray(project?.dock) ? project.dock : []; const todoset = dock.find((d: any) => (d?.name || d?.app_name) === "todoset"); if (!todoset) return null; const href: string = todoset.url || todoset.href || todoset.api_url || todoset.app_url || ""; const m = href.match(/\/todosets\/(\d+)/); return m ? { id: Number(m[1]), url: href } : null; }
- src/basecamp-mcp.ts:13-13 (registration)Invokes registerTodosetTools to register the todoset-related tools, including 'get_todoset', on the main MCP server.registerTodosetTools(server);
