Implementation Reference

• src/uscardforum/server_tools/auth.py:78-119 (handler)

  The main MCP tool handler for 'get_notifications'. Defines input schema with Pydantic Field annotations and delegates execution to the DiscourseClient instance via get_client().
  @mcp.tool() def get_notifications( since_id: Annotated[ int | None, Field(default=None, description="Only get notifications newer than this ID"), ] = None, only_unread: Annotated[ bool, Field(default=False, description="Only return unread notifications"), ] = False, limit: Annotated[ int | None, Field(default=None, description="Maximum number to return"), ] = None, ) -> list[Notification]: """ Fetch your notifications. REQUIRES AUTHENTICATION. Args: since_id: Only get notifications newer than this ID (optional) only_unread: Only return unread notifications (default: False) limit: Maximum number to return (optional) Must call login() first. Returns a list of Notification objects with: - id: Notification ID - notification_type: Type of notification - read: Whether read - topic_id: Related topic - post_number: Related post - created_at: When created Use to: - Check for new replies to your posts - See mentions and likes - Track topic updates you're watching """ return get_client().get_notifications( since_id=since_id, only_unread=only_unread, limit=limit )
• src/uscardforum/api/auth.py:181-212 (helper)

  Core API implementation in AuthAPI that fetches notifications from /notifications.json, parses them into Notification models, and applies client-side filtering based on parameters.
  def get_notifications( self, since_id: int | None = None, only_unread: bool = False, limit: int | None = None, ) -> list[Notification]: """Fetch notifications (requires auth). Args: since_id: Only notifications after this ID only_unread: Only unread notifications limit: Maximum notifications to return Returns: List of notification objects """ self._require_auth() payload = self._get("/notifications.json") raw_notifications = payload.get("notifications", []) notifications = [Notification(**n) for n in raw_notifications] # Apply filters if since_id is not None: notifications = [n for n in notifications if n.id > since_id] if only_unread: notifications = [n for n in notifications if not n.read] if limit is not None: notifications = notifications[: max(0, int(limit))] return notifications
• src/uscardforum/client.py:490-508 (helper)

  Client-side wrapper method in DiscourseClient that delegates the get_notifications call to the underlying AuthAPI instance.
  def get_notifications( self, since_id: int | None = None, only_unread: bool = False, limit: int | None = None, ) -> list[Notification]: """Fetch notifications (requires auth). Args: since_id: Only notifications after this ID only_unread: Only unread notifications limit: Maximum notifications to return Returns: List of notification objects """ return self._auth.get_notifications( since_id=since_id, only_unread=only_unread, limit=limit )
• src/uscardforum/server.py:25-25 (registration)
