## Implementation Details
### Type Safety
- Full type hints on all function parameters and return values
- `Optional` types for nullable parameters
- `dict[str, Any]` for JSON responses
- `list[int]` for ID arrays
### Docstrings
Each tool includes comprehensive documentation:
- Purpose and description
- API endpoint mapping (HTTP method + path)
- Parameter descriptions with types and constraints
- Return value documentation
- Usage notes and warnings where applicable
### Error Handling
All tools use the shared `make_request` helper which handles:
- Authentication (Bearer token)
- HTTP error responses (400, 401, 403, 404, etc.)
- Timeout handling
- JSON serialization/deserialization
### Pagination
List endpoints support standard pagination:
- `per_page`: Results per page (default: 25, max: 100)
- `page`: Page number (default: 1)
### Search & Filter
Two search patterns supported:
1. **Simple Search**: `GET /resource/search?q=query`
2. **Advanced Filter**: `POST /resource/search` with JSON criteria
## Usage Example
```python
from fastmcp import FastMCP
from toolsets_recruiting import register_all_recruiting_toolsets
# Initialize MCP server
mcp = FastMCP("CATS Recruiting API")
# Define HTTP helper (from main server)
async def make_request(method, endpoint, params=None, json_data=None):
# ... HTTP client implementation
pass
# Register all recruiting toolsets
register_all_recruiting_toolsets(mcp, make_request)
# Start server
mcp.run(transport="http")
```
## Integration with Existing Server
To integrate these toolsets with the existing `server.py`:
```python
# In server.py
from toolsets_recruiting import register_all_recruiting_toolsets
# After defining mcp and make_request
register_all_recruiting_toolsets(mcp, make_request)
```
This will add 64 recruiting tools to your existing server alongside the current tools.
## Tool Naming Convention
All tools follow a consistent naming pattern:
- **List**: `list_{resource}` - Get multiple records
- **Get**: `get_{resource}` - Get single record by ID
- **Create**: `create_{resource}` - Create new record
- **Update**: `update_{resource}` - Update existing record
- **Delete**: `delete_{resource}` - Delete record
- **Search**: `search_{resource}` - Simple text search
- **Filter**: `filter_{resource}` - Advanced filtering
- **Sub-resources**: `{action}_{parent}_{child}` (e.g., `list_company_contacts`)
## API Reference
Full API documentation available in:
- `cats_collection.json` - Complete Postman collection
- Each tool's docstring - Inline documentation
## Production Readiness
✅ **Syntax Validated**: All Python syntax checked and valid
✅ **Type Hints**: Complete type annotations throughout
✅ **Documentation**: Comprehensive docstrings with examples
✅ **Error Handling**: Uses shared error handling via `make_request`
✅ **Naming Convention**: Consistent, predictable naming
✅ **Pagination Support**: Standard pagination on list endpoints
✅ **Search Support**: Both simple and advanced search
✅ **Sub-Resources**: Complete coverage of nested resources
## Next Steps
1. **Import into Server**: Add import and registration call to `server.py`
2. **Test Endpoints**: Verify endpoints with actual CATS API
3. **Add Examples**: Create usage examples for common workflows
4. **Update README**: Document new recruiting tools in main README
5. **Create Tests**: Add unit tests for each toolset
## File Statistics
- **Lines of Code**: ~1,100 lines
- **Functions**: 69 (64 tools + 5 registration functions)
- **Dependencies**: `fastmcp`, `typing`
- **API Endpoints Covered**: 64 unique endpoints
## Notes
- All tools use async/await for non-blocking operations
- Authentication handled by shared `make_request` helper
- No hardcoded credentials (uses environment variables)
- Follows FastMCP best practices
- Compatible with existing server architecture
