Implementation Reference

  • Main handler logic for the 'ask_claude' tool: retrieves context by ID, instantiates ClaudeClient, calls get_second_opinion, optionally stores response, and returns formatted output.
    if name == "ask_claude":
        context_id = arguments["context_id"]
        question = arguments.get("question")
        context = self.storage.get_context(context_id)
        if not context:
            return [TextContent(type="text", text=f"Context {context_id} not found")]
    
        try:
            claude_client = ClaudeClient()
            response = claude_client.get_second_opinion(context, question)
    
            # Only save to database if it's a generic second opinion (no custom question)
            if not question:
                self.storage.update_claude_response(context_id, response)
    
            header = "Claude's Answer:" if question else "Claude's Opinion:"
            return [TextContent(type="text", text=f"{header}\n\n{response}")]
        except ValueError as e:
            return [TextContent(type="text", text=f"Error: {e}")]
  • Tool schema definition including name, description, and input schema requiring 'context_id' and optional 'question'.

  • Core helper function in ClaudeClient that formats the context prompt and calls the Anthropic Claude API to generate the response.
