Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:395-415 (handler)The MCP tool handler function for 'get_airline_info'. It extracts the ICAO code from input parameters, fetches the airline information using FR24Client, formats the response as text content, and handles errors appropriately.
async (params: z.infer<typeof airlineInfoSchema>) => { const { icao } = params; try { console.log(`Raw params received by handler: ${JSON.stringify(params)}`); const airline = await fr24Client.getAirlineInfo(icao); return { content: [{ type: 'text' as const, text: `Airline information (light):\n${JSON.stringify(airline, null, 2)}` }] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: 'text' as const, text: `Error fetching airline info for ${icao}: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}` }], isError: true }; } } - src/server.ts:391-416 (registration)Registration of the 'get_airline_info' tool on the McpServer instance, specifying name, description, input schema, and handler function.
