Implementation Reference

  • Core execution logic for all tools, including get_package_info_from_cpan. Makes POST request to remote API with toolName and args, returns response as MCP text content.
    const calcXiaoBenYangApi = async function (fullArgs: Record<string, any>) { // 发起 POST 请求 let response = await fetch('https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api', { method: 'POST', headers: { 'XBY-APIKEY': apiKey, 'func': fullArgs.toolName, 'mcpid': mcpID }, body: new URLSearchParams(fullArgs) }); const apiResult = await response.text(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: apiResult // 将字符串结果放入 content 中 } ] } as { [x: string]: unknown; content: [{ type: "text"; text: string }] }; };
  • Wrapper handler function called for each tool invocation. Validates toolName, adds it to args, and delegates to core API caller.
    const handleXiaoBenYangApi = async (args: Record<string, any>, toolName: string) => { // 校验aid是否存在 if (toolName === undefined || toolName === null) { throw new Error("缺少必要参数 'aid'"); } // 合并参数 const fullArgs = {...args, toolName: toolName}; // 调用API return calcXiaoBenYangApi(fullArgs); };
  • src/mcp.ts:50-65 (registration)
    Helper function to register a tool with the MCP server, using the generic handler that proxies to remote API. Used for all dynamic tools including get_package_info_from_cpan.
    const addToolXiaoBenYangApi = function ( name: string, desc: string, params: Record<string, ZodType> ) { server.registerTool( name, { title: name, description: desc, inputSchema: params, } , async (args: Record<string, any>) => handleXiaoBenYangApi(args, name) ) };
  • src/mcp.ts:88-133 (registration)
    Dynamic tool registration: Fetches tool descriptions from remote API (https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/getMcpDesc), builds Zod input schemas, and registers each tool (including get_package_info_from_cpan if present) using generic proxy handler.
    const apiDescList = data.tools; for (const apiDesc of apiDescList) { let inputSchema = JSON.parse(apiDesc.inputSchema); const zodDict: Record<string, z.ZodTypeAny> = {}; Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => { let zodType; let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type; switch (pt) { case 'string': zodType = z.string(); break; case 'number': zodType = z.number(); break; case 'boolean': zodType = z.boolean(); break; case 'integer': zodType = z.int32(); break; case 'array': zodType = z.array(z.any()); break; case 'object': zodType = z.object(z.any()); break; default: zodType = z.any(); } if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) { zodDict[name] = zodType; } else { zodDict[name] = zodType.optional(); } }); addToolXiaoBenYangApi( apiDesc.name, apiDesc.description ? apiDesc.description : apiDesc.name, zodDict); } isRegistered = true;
  • Dynamic input schema generation from remote tool description JSON schema, mapping to Zod types for validation.
    Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => { let zodType; let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type; switch (pt) { case 'string': zodType = z.string(); break; case 'number': zodType = z.number(); break; case 'boolean': zodType = z.boolean(); break; case 'integer': zodType = z.int32(); break; case 'array': zodType = z.array(z.any()); break; case 'object': zodType = z.object(z.any()); break; default: zodType = z.any(); } if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) { zodDict[name] = zodType; } else { zodDict[name] = zodType.optional(); } });
