Implementation Reference

• src/tools/toolConfigs.ts:139-153 (schema)

  Tool configuration defining the schema (Zod parameters), description, endpoint, and method for 'get-ticker-markets'.

  {
      name: 'get-ticker-markets',
      description: 'Get a list of tickers for a specific cryptocurrency across different exchanges.',
      endpoint: '/tickers/markets',
      method: 'GET',
      parameters: {
          page: z.number().optional().describe('Page number').default(1),
          limit: z.number().optional().describe('Number of results per page').default(20),
          exchange: z.string().optional().describe('Exchange name'),
          fromCoin: z.string().optional().describe('From currency/coin symbol'),
          toCoin: z.string().optional().describe('To currency/coin symbol'),

  },

• src/index.ts:18-18 (registration)

  Registers all tools, including 'get-ticker-markets', with the MCP server by calling registerTools.

  registerTools(server, allToolConfigs);

• src/tools/toolFactory.ts:19-79 (registration)

  registerTools function that loops through allToolConfigs and calls server.tool for each, attaching description, schema, and generic handler.

  export function registerTools(server: McpServer, toolConfigs: ToolConfig<any>[]) {
      toolConfigs.forEach((config) => {
          server.tool(config.name, config.description, config.parameters, async (params: Record<string, any>) => {

• src/services/request.ts:35-97 (handler)

  Core handler invoked by tool executors: builds the API URL from basePath + endpoint + params, handles path params replacement, makes the fetch request, and returns JSON response in MCP format.
