Creating a New Tool

  1. Create a new Python file in src/claude_tools/:

# src/claude_tools/my_tool.py def my_awesome_function(param: str) -> str: """Description of what this tool does. Args: param: Description of the parameter Returns: A string with the result """ result = f"Processed: {param}" return result def register_my_tools(mcp): """Register all my tools with the MCP server.""" mcp.tool()(my_awesome_function)
  1. Import and register your tool in __init__.py:

# In src/claude_tools/__init__.py from .calculator import register_calculator_tools from .datetime_tool import register_datetime_tools from .weather import register_weather_tools from .my_tool import register_my_tools # Add this line def register_all_tools(mcp): register_calculator_tools(mcp) register_datetime_tools(mcp) register_weather_tools(mcp) register_my_tools(mcp) # Add this line
  1. Restart the server and your new tool is ready to use!
