Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function that executes the start_virtual_machine tool logic. It calls the CloudStack client to start the VM and returns a formatted response with the job ID.
    async handleStartVirtualMachine(args: any) { const result = await this.cloudStackClient.startVirtualMachine({ id: args.id }); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Started virtual machine ${args.id}. Job ID: ${result.startvirtualmachineresponse?.jobid}` } ] }; }
  • The tool definition including name, description, and input schema that requires a 'id' parameter.
    { name: 'start_virtual_machine', description: 'Start a virtual machine', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string', description: 'VM ID to start', }, }, required: ['id'], additionalProperties: false, }, },
  • src/server.ts:112-113 (registration)
    Tool registration in the MCP server's CallToolRequest handler switch statement, which dispatches to the VirtualMachineHandlers.handleStartVirtualMachine method.
    case 'start_virtual_machine': return await this.vmHandlers.handleStartVirtualMachine(args);
  • Helper method in CloudStackClient that performs the actual API request to CloudStack's startVirtualMachine endpoint.
    async startVirtualMachine(params: CloudStackParams): Promise<CloudStackResponse> { return this.request('startVirtualMachine', params); }
