Implementation Reference
- src/outlookTools.js:203-243 (handler)Full definition of the 'get_attendee_status' MCP tool, including schema, description, and handler function that executes the tool logic by calling getAttendeeStatus from scriptRunner.js and formatting the MCP response.get_attendee_status: { name: 'get_attendee_status', description: 'Check the response status of meeting attendees', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { eventId: { type: 'string', description: 'Event ID' }, calendar: { type: 'string', description: 'Calendar name (optional)' } }, required: ['eventId'] }, handler: async ({ eventId, calendar }) => { try { const attendeeStatus = await getAttendeeStatus(eventId, calendar); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(attendeeStatus, null, 2) } ] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error getting attendee status: ${error.message}` } ], isError: true }; } } },
- src/outlookTools.js:206-219 (schema)Input schema for the get_attendee_status tool defining parameters eventId (required) and calendar (optional).inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { eventId: { type: 'string', description: 'Event ID' }, calendar: { type: 'string', description: 'Calendar name (optional)' } }, required: ['eventId'] },
- src/scriptRunner.js:115-117 (helper)Helper function getAttendeeStatus that executes the underlying VBScript 'getAttendeeStatus.vbs' via executeScript, invoked by the MCP tool handler.export async function getAttendeeStatus(eventId, calendar) { return executeScript('getAttendeeStatus', { eventId, calendar }); }
- src/index.js:34-36 (registration)Registration of all Outlook tools, including get_attendee_status, by calling defineOutlookTools() and storing in this.tools for use in MCP request handlers.// Define the tools this.tools = defineOutlookTools();
- src/scriptRunner.js:23-66 (helper)Core helper function executeScript used by getAttendeeStatus to run the VBScript implementation of attendee status checking.export async function executeScript(scriptName, params = {}) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { // Build the command with UTF-8 support const scriptPath = path.join(SCRIPTS_DIR, `${scriptName}.vbs`); let command = `chcp 65001 >nul 2>&1 && cscript //NoLogo "${scriptPath}"`; // Add parameters for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(params)) { if (value !== undefined && value !== null && value !== '') { // Handle special characters in values const escapedValue = value.toString().replace(/"/g, '\\"'); command += ` /${key}:"${escapedValue}"`; } } // Execute the command with UTF-8 encoding exec(command, { encoding: 'utf8' }, (error, stdout, stderr) => { // Check for execution errors if (error && !stdout.includes(SUCCESS_PREFIX)) { return reject(new Error(`Script execution failed: ${error.message}`)); } // Check for script errors if (stdout.includes(ERROR_PREFIX)) { const errorMessage = stdout.substring(stdout.indexOf(ERROR_PREFIX) + ERROR_PREFIX.length).trim(); return reject(new Error(`Script error: ${errorMessage}`)); } // Process successful output if (stdout.includes(SUCCESS_PREFIX)) { try { const jsonStr = stdout.substring(stdout.indexOf(SUCCESS_PREFIX) + SUCCESS_PREFIX.length).trim(); const result = JSON.parse(jsonStr); return resolve(result); } catch (parseError) { return reject(new Error(`Failed to parse script output: ${parseError.message}`)); } } // If we get here, something unexpected happened reject(new Error(`Unexpected script output: ${stdout}`)); }); }); }
