• src/index.ts:205-215 (handler)

  MCP tool execution handler for 'list_channels': calls restreamClient.getChannels() and returns the result as JSON text content.

  case 'list_channels': {
    const channels = await restreamClient.getChannels();
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text',
          text: JSON.stringify(channels, null, 2),
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:51-59 (registration)

  Registers the 'list_channels' tool in the MCP tools list, including its name, description, and empty input schema.

  {
    name: 'list_channels',
    description: 'List all connected streaming channels/platforms (YouTube, Twitch, Facebook, etc.) with their connection status',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {},
      required: [],
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:54-58 (schema)

  Input schema for 'list_channels' tool: no required parameters.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',

    required: [],
  },

   */
  async getChannels(): Promise<Channel[]> {
    try {
      const response = await this.axiosInstance.get<{ channels: Channel[] }>('/user/channels');
      return response.data.channels || [];
    } catch (error) {
      throw this.handleError(error, 'Failed to fetch channels');
