Implementation Reference

• src/handlers/comment-handlers.ts:66-95 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'get_comments' tool. It fetches comments for a given Jira issue key using the API client and formats them using JiraFormatters.formatComments.

  async handleGetComments(args: any) {
    try {
      const { issueKey } = args;
  
      if (!issueKey) {
        throw new Error('issueKey is required');
      }
  
      const result = await this.apiClient.get(`/issue/${issueKey}/comment`);
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JiraFormatters.formatComments(result),
          },
        ],
      };
    } catch (error: any) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JiraFormatters.formatError(error),
          },
        ],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  }

• src/tools/definitions.ts:207-220 (schema)

  The input schema and metadata definition for the 'get_comments' tool, specifying the required 'issueKey' parameter.

  {
    name: 'get_comments',
    description: 'Get all comments for a Jira issue',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        issueKey: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The issue key (e.g., PROJ-123)',
        },
      },
      required: ['issueKey'],
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:124-125 (registration)

  The switch case in the tool call handler that routes 'get_comments' requests to the CommentHandlers.handleGetComments method.

  case 'get_comments':
    return this.commentHandlers.handleGetComments(request.params.arguments);
