Implementation Reference

• src/f1_mcp_server/f1_data.py:252-293 (handler)

  Core handler function that loads an F1 session using FastF1 and retrieves specific driver information, serializing it to JSON.

  MCP tool schema definition including input parameters and descriptions for get_driver_info.

• src/f1_mcp_server/server.py:201-209 (registration)

  Dispatch logic in the MCP call_tool handler that routes requests for 'get_driver_info' to the actual function.
  elif name == "get_driver_info": # Handle remaining tools with proper validation # ... similar validation for other parameters ... result = get_driver_info( sanitized_args["year"], str(arguments["event_identifier"]), str(arguments["session_name"]), str(arguments["driver_identifier"]), )
• f1-messenger-app/mcp-bridge.py:107-107 (registration)

  Tool registration in the HTTP bridge that maps the tool name to the imported function for direct calling.
  'get_driver_info': get_driver_info,
• f1-messenger-app/src/services/f1ToolSchemas.ts:85-108 (schema)

  TypeScript schema for Gemini function calling, matching the MCP tool parameters.
