Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:655-706 (handler)The handler function that executes the tool logic by making a GET request to Mixpanel's /events/top endpoint to fetch today's top events.async function handleGetTodayTopEvents(args: any, config: any) { const { project_id = config.DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID, type = "general", limit = 10 } = args; try { // Create authorization header using base64 encoding of credentials const credentials = `${config.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_USER_NAME}:${config.SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD}`; const encodedCredentials = Buffer.from(credentials).toString('base64'); // Construct URL with query parameters const url = `${config.MIXPANEL_BASE_URL}/events/top?project_id=${project_id}&type=${type}${limit ? `&limit=${limit}` : ''}`; // Set up request options const options = { method: 'GET', headers: { 'accept': 'application/json', 'authorization': `Basic ${encodedCredentials}` } }; // Make the API request const response = await fetch(url, options); if (!response.ok) { const errorText = await response.text(); throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status} - ${errorText}`); } const data = await response.json(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data) } ] }; } catch (error: unknown) { console.error("Error fetching Mixpanel events:", error); const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error fetching Mixpanel events: ${errorMessage}` } ], isError: true }; } }
- src/index.ts:606-607 (registration)The switch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes calls to the get_today_top_events tool to its handler function.case "get_today_top_events": return await handleGetTodayTopEvents(args, { SERVICE_ACCOUNT_USER_NAME, SERVICE_ACCOUNT_PASSWORD, DEFAULT_PROJECT_ID, MIXPANEL_BASE_URL });
- src/index.ts:236-256 (schema)The tool registration in the ListToolsRequestSchema response, including name, description, and input schema definition.name: "get_today_top_events", description: "Get today's top events from Mixpanel.
