Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:555-566 (handler)Handler function for the 'create-template' tool. It makes a POST request to the RunPod /templates endpoint with the provided parameters and returns the JSON response as text content.async (params) => { const result = await runpodRequest('/templates', 'POST', params); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; }
- src/index.ts:530-554 (schema)Zod input schema defining parameters for creating a RunPod template, including name, image, ports, environment variables, disk sizes, and optional fields.{ name: z.string().describe('Name for the template'), imageName: z.string().describe('Docker image to use'), isServerless: z .boolean() .optional() .describe('Is this a serverless template'), ports: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Ports to expose'), dockerEntrypoint: z .array(z.string()) .optional() .describe('Docker entrypoint commands'), dockerStartCmd: z .array(z.string()) .optional() .describe('Docker start commands'), env: z.record(z.string()).optional().describe('Environment variables'), containerDiskInGb: z .number() .optional() .describe('Container disk size in GB'), volumeInGb: z.number().optional().describe('Volume size in GB'), volumeMountPath: z.string().optional().describe('Path to mount the volume'), readme: z.string().optional().describe('README content in markdown format'), },
- src/index.ts:528-567 (registration)MCP server registration of the 'create-template' tool, including input schema and handler function.server.tool( 'create-template', { name: z.string().describe('Name for the template'), imageName: z.string().describe('Docker image to use'), isServerless: z .boolean() .optional() .describe('Is this a serverless template'), ports: z.array(z.string()).optional().describe('Ports to expose'), dockerEntrypoint: z .array(z.string()) .optional() .describe('Docker entrypoint commands'), dockerStartCmd: z .array(z.string()) .optional() .describe('Docker start commands'), env: z.record(z.string()).optional().describe('Environment variables'), containerDiskInGb: z .number() .optional() .describe('Container disk size in GB'), volumeInGb: z.number().optional().describe('Volume size in GB'), volumeMountPath: z.string().optional().describe('Path to mount the volume'), readme: z.string().optional().describe('README content in markdown format'), }, async (params) => { const result = await runpodRequest('/templates', 'POST', params); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } );
- src/index.ts:27-66 (helper)Shared helper function used by the create-template handler (and other tools) to make authenticated HTTP requests to the RunPod API.async function runpodRequest( endpoint: string, method: string = 'GET', body?: Record<string, unknown> ) { const url = `${API_BASE_URL}${endpoint}`; const headers = { Authorization: `Bearer ${API_KEY}`, 'Content-Type': 'application/json', }; const options: NodeFetchRequestInit = { method, headers, }; if (body && (method === 'POST' || method === 'PATCH')) { options.body = JSON.stringify(body); } try { const response = await fetch(url, options); if (!response.ok) { const errorText = await response.text(); throw new Error(`RunPod API Error: ${response.status} - ${errorText}`); } // Some endpoints might not return JSON const contentType = response.headers.get('content-type'); if (contentType && contentType.includes('application/json')) { return await response.json(); } return { success: true, status: response.status }; } catch (error) { console.error('Error calling RunPod API:', error); throw error; } }
