Goal Story MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:538-562 (handler)

  The MCP tool handler implementation for 'goalstory_update_step'. It makes a PATCH request to the backend API at /steps/{id} with the provided updates (name, status, outcome, evidence) and returns the formatted response.
  UPDATE_STEP_TOOL.description, UPDATE_STEP_TOOL.inputSchema.shape, async (args) => { const url = `${GOALSTORY_API_BASE_URL}/steps/${args.id}`; const body = { id: args.id, ...(args.name ? { name: args.name } : {}), ...(typeof args.status === "number" ? { status: args.status } : {}), ...(args.outcome ? { outcome: args.outcome } : {}), ...(args.evidence ? { evidence: args.evidence } : {}), }; const result = await doRequest(url, "PATCH", body); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Step updated:\n${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`, }, ], isError: false, }; }, ); /**
• src/tools.ts:273-298 (schema)

  The tool definition object containing name, description, and Zod inputSchema used for registration and validation.
  export const UPDATE_STEP_TOOL = { name: "goalstory_update_step", description: "Update step details including the name, completion status, evidence, and outcome. Use this to track progress and insights.", inputSchema: z.object({ id: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the step to update."), name: z .string() .optional() .describe("Refined or clarified step description."), status: z .number() .optional() .describe( "Step completion status: 0 = pending/in progress, 1 = completed.", ), outcome: z .string() .optional() .describe("Results and impact achieved through completing this step."), evidence: z .string() .optional() .describe("Concrete proof or observations of step completion."), }), };
• src/types.ts:80-87 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the input parameters for updating a goal story step.
  export interface GoalstoryUpdateStepInput { id: string; name?: string; status?: number; // 0=Pending, 1=Complete outcome?: string; evidence?: string; notes?: string; }
• src/index.ts:42-43 (registration)

  Import of the UPDATE_STEP_TOOL constant used to register the tool handler.
  UPDATE_STEP_TOOL, } from "./tools.js";
• src/index.ts:62-122 (helper)

  Shared helper function doRequest used by all tool handlers to make authenticated HTTP requests to the backend API.
  async function doRequest<T = any>( url: string, method: string, body?: unknown, ): Promise<T> { console.error("Making request to:", url); console.error("Method:", method); console.error("Body:", body ? JSON.stringify(body) : "none"); try { const response = await axios({ url, method, headers: { "Content-Type": "application/json", Authorization: `Bearer ${GOALSTORY_API_TOKEN}`, }, data: body, timeout: 10000, // 10 second timeout validateStatus: function (status) { return status >= 200 && status < 500; // Accept all status codes less than 500 }, }); console.error("Response received:", response.status); return response.data as T; } catch (err) { console.error("Request failed with error:", err); if (axios.isAxiosError(err)) { if (err.code === "ECONNABORTED") { throw new Error( `Request timed out after 10 seconds. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}`, ); } if (err.response) { // The request was made and the server responded with a status code // that falls out of the range of 2xx throw new Error( `HTTP Error ${ err.response.status }. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}, Body: ${JSON.stringify( body, )}. Error text: ${JSON.stringify(err.response.data)}`, ); } else if (err.request) { // The request was made but no response was received throw new Error( `No response received from server. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}`, ); } else { // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error throw new Error(`Request setup failed: ${err.message}`); } } else { // Something else happened throw new Error( `Unexpected error: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`, ); } } }
