Implementation Reference

  • Core handler logic that executes the tool by proxying the request to the remote API endpoint 'https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api' with toolName='list_dataflows' and arguments. Returns the API response formatted for MCP.
    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 that validates toolName and calls the core API proxy with full arguments. This is invoked by the registered tool handler lambda for 'list_dataflows'.
    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:88-132 (registration)
    Dynamic tool registration loop: fetches tool descriptions from remote API for mcpID '1777316659351555', builds Zod schemas, and registers each tool (including 'list_dataflows') using the generic 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); }
  • src/mcp.ts:50-65 (registration)
    Helper function to register a tool with name (e.g. 'list_dataflows'), description, Zod input schema, and the generic handler lambda that calls handleXiaoBenYangApi with the tool name.
    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) ) };
  • Dynamic schema construction: Parses remote JSON schema for the tool and converts to Zod types (required/optional), used for 'list_dataflows' input validation.
    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(); } });
