Implementation Reference
- server.js:687-743 (handler)The handler function for web_data_reuter_news (and other web_data tools). It triggers a BrightData dataset collection using the specific dataset_id 'gd_lyptx9h74wtlvpnfu' for Reuters news, polls for the snapshot to be ready (up to 600 attempts), and returns the JSON string of the result data.execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{ let trigger_response = await axios({ url: 'https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3/trigger', params: {dataset_id, include_errors: true}, method: 'POST', data: [data], headers: api_headers(), }); if (!trigger_response.data?.snapshot_id) throw new Error('No snapshot ID returned from request'); let snapshot_id = trigger_response.data.snapshot_id; console.error(`[web_data_${id}] triggered collection with ` +`snapshot ID: ${snapshot_id}`); let max_attempts = 600; let attempts = 0; while (attempts < max_attempts) { try { if (ctx && ctx.reportProgress) { await ctx.reportProgress({ progress: attempts, total: max_attempts, message: `Polling for data (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`, }); } let snapshot_response = await axios({ url: `https://api.brightdata.com/datasets/v3` +`/snapshot/${snapshot_id}`, params: {format: 'json'}, method: 'GET', headers: api_headers(), }); if (['running', 'building'].includes(snapshot_response.data?.status)) { console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot not ready, ` +`polling again (attempt ` +`${attempts + 1}/${max_attempts})`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); continue; } console.error(`[web_data_${id}] snapshot data received ` +`after ${attempts + 1} attempts`); let result_data = JSON.stringify(snapshot_response.data); return result_data; } catch(e){ console.error(`[web_data_${id}] polling error: ` +`${e.message}`); attempts++; await new Promise(resolve=>setTimeout(resolve, 1000)); } } throw new Error(`Timeout after ${max_attempts} seconds waiting ` +`for data`); }),
- server.js:676-682 (schema)Dynamically generates the Zod schema for the tool's input parameters. For web_data_reuter_news, inputs=['url'], so parameters = {url: z.string().url()}.let parameters = {}; for (let input of inputs) { let param_schema = input=='url' ? z.string().url() : z.string(); parameters[input] = defaults[input] !== undefined ? param_schema.default(defaults[input]) : param_schema; }
- server.js:579-587 (registration)Dataset configuration for 'reuter_news' which is used to register the tool 'web_data_reuter_news' with its specific dataset_id, description, and inputs.id: 'reuter_news', dataset_id: 'gd_lyptx9h74wtlvpnfu', description: [ 'Quickly read structured reuter news data.', 'Requires a valid reuter news report URL.', 'This can be a cache lookup, so it can be more reliable than scraping', ].join('\n'), inputs: ['url'], }, {
- server.js:683-687 (registration)Registers the MCP tool by calling addTool with the constructed name `web_data_reuter_news` (when id='reuter_news'), description from dataset, Zod parameters schema, and wrapped execute handler.addTool({ name: `web_data_${id}`, description, parameters: z.object(parameters), execute: tool_fn(`web_data_${id}`, async(data, ctx)=>{
