Implementation Reference

  • Defines the MCP 'get_artist' tool, including its handler (execute function) that fetches artist data using ArtistService.get(args) and returns JSON.
    export const getArtistTool: Tool<FastMCPSessionAuth, typeof ArtistIdParamSchema> = {
      name: 'get_artist',
      description: 'Get an artist',
      parameters: ArtistIdParamSchema,
      execute: async (args) => {
        try {
          const artistService = new ArtistService();
          const artist = await artistService.get(args);
    
          return JSON.stringify(artist);
        } catch (error) {
          throw formatDiscogsError(error);
        }
      },
    };
  • Input schema (Zod) for the 'get_artist' tool, requiring an artist_id number.
    export const ArtistIdParamSchema = z.object({
      artist_id: z.number(),
    });
  • Registers the 'get_artist' tool on the MCP server within registerDatabaseTools.
    server.addTool(getArtistTool);
  • Top-level tool registration function that invokes registerDatabaseTools, indirectly registering 'get_artist'.
    export function registerTools(server: FastMCP): void {
      registerDatabaseTools(server);
      registerMarketplaceTools(server);
      registerInventoryExportTool(server);
      registerUserIdentityTools(server);
      registerUserCollectionTools(server);
      registerUserWantlistTools(server);
      registerUserListsTools(server);
      registerMediaTools(server);
    }
