Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1129-1146 (handler)The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'get_assay_info' tool. It makes an API call to PubChem's assay endpoint using the provided AID and returns the formatted JSON response or throws an error.
private async handleGetAssayInfo(args: any) { try { const response = await this.apiClient.get(`/assay/aid/${args.aid}/JSON`); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Failed to get assay info: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}` ); } } - src/index.ts:592-598 (schema)The input schema definition for the 'get_assay_info' tool, specifying that it requires a numeric 'aid' parameter (PubChem Assay ID).
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { aid: { type: 'number', description: 'PubChem Assay ID (AID)' }, }, required: ['aid'], }, - src/index.ts:589-599 (registration)The tool registration entry in the MCP tools list, defining the name, description, and input schema for 'get_assay_info'.
{ name: 'get_assay_info', description: 'Get detailed information for a specific bioassay by AID', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { aid: { type: 'number', description: 'PubChem Assay ID (AID)' }, }, required: ['aid'], }, }, - src/index.ts:782-783 (registration)The switch case in the request handler that dispatches calls to 'get_assay_info' to the appropriate handler method.
