Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/server.ts:1072-1135 (handler)

  The primary handler function for the 'mark_news_as_read' MCP tool. It processes an array of news IDs, calls the API to mark each as read, handles errors individually, and returns a summary of successes and failures.
  case "mark_news_as_read": try { const { ids } = args as { ids: string[] }; if (!ids || ids.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "Error: No news article IDs provided. Please specify 'ids' parameter with at least one ID.", }, ], }; } // Process each ID sequentially const results = []; const errors = []; for (const newsId of ids) { try { await this.api.markNewsAsRead(newsId); results.push(newsId); } catch (error) { errors.push({ id: newsId, error: error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error", }); } } // Prepare response message let responseText = ""; if (results.length > 0) { responseText += `Successfully marked ${results.length} news article(s) as read: ${results.join(", ")}\n`; } if (errors.length > 0) { responseText += `\nFailed to mark ${errors.length} news article(s) as read:\n`; errors.forEach(({ id, error }) => { responseText += `- ${id}: ${error}\n`; }); } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: responseText.trim(), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error marking news as read: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error"}`, }, ], }; }
• src/server.ts:432-448 (schema)

  Input schema and metadata definition for the 'mark_news_as_read' tool, registered in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler. Defines the required 'ids' array parameter.
