Implementation Reference

  • The http_get tool handler, including registration via @mcp.tool(), input schema via type annotations and defaults, and execution logic that invokes the shared HTTP helper function.
    @mcp.tool() def http_get( url: str, headers: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, cookies: Optional[Dict[str, str]] = None, body: Optional[str] = None, timeout: float = 30.0 ) -> str: """HTTP GET request with full support (headers, cookies, body, timeout) - All requests logged""" try: result = make_http_request_with_logging("GET", url, headers or {}, cookies or {}, body or "", timeout) return json.dumps(result, indent=2) except Exception as e: return f"Error: {str(e)}"
  • Core helper function that performs the actual HTTP request using httpx, handles logging, error cases, and formats the response dictionary. Used by http_get and all other HTTP method tools.
    def make_http_request_with_logging(method: str, url: str, headers: dict, cookies: dict, body: str, timeout: float): """Universal HTTP request function with logging""" try: with httpx.Client(timeout=timeout) as client: response = client.request( method=method.upper(), url=url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, content=body.encode('utf-8') if body else None ) # Log the request and response log_path = log_request_response( method=method.upper(), url=url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, body=body, status_code=response.status_code, response_headers=dict(response.headers), response_content=response.text, response_length=len(response.text) ) return { "method": method.upper(), "url": url, "status_code": response.status_code, "response_headers": dict(response.headers), "response_content": response.text, "response_length": len(response.text), "request_headers": headers, "request_cookies": cookies, "request_body": body, "logged_to": log_path } except Exception as e: # Log the error log_request_response( method=method.upper(), url=url, headers=headers, cookies=cookies, body=body, status_code=0, response_headers={}, response_content="", response_length=0, error=str(e) ) raise e
  • Supporting utility that logs detailed request and response information to a file in ~/mcp_requests_logs/ with timestamps.
    def log_request_response(method: str, url: str, headers: dict, cookies: dict, body: str, status_code: int, response_headers: dict, response_content: str, response_length: int, error: str = None): """Log complete request and response details""" log_data = { "timestamp": datetime.datetime.now().isoformat(), "request": { "method": method, "url": url, "headers": headers, "cookies": cookies, "body": body, "body_length": len(body) if body else 0 }, "response": { "status_code": status_code if not error else "ERROR", "headers": response_headers if not error else {}, "content_length": response_length if not error else 0, "content_preview": response_content[:500] + "..." if response_content and len(response_content) > 500 else response_content }, "error": error } logger.info(f"HTTP_REQUEST: {json.dumps(log_data, indent=2, ensure_ascii=False)}") return log_path
