Implementation Reference
- src/mcp.ts:90-132 (registration)Dynamic registration of all tools from remote API, including 'find_similar_apis'. Fetches tool list, parses schemas to Zod, and registers each tool.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.bigint(); 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:39-48 (handler)Handler wrapper for XiaoBenYang API tools. Validates toolName, merges arguments, and delegates to calcXiaoBenYangApi. Used for 'find_similar_apis'.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:15-36 (handler)Core handler that proxies tool execution to remote https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api with func=toolName (e.g., 'find_similar_apis'). Returns formatted response.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 }] }; };
- src/mcp.ts:50-65 (registration)Helper function to register a single tool with MCP server, using the shared proxy handler. Called for each tool including 'find_similar_apis'.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:91-127 (schema)Dynamically converts remote tool's JSON schema to Zod inputSchema for validation. Used for all tools including 'find_similar_apis'.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.bigint(); 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(); } });
