Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:1586-1612 (handler)MCP server handler for executing the 'parse_search_tokens' tool. Validates input query, calls the ShodanClient helper method, formats the response as JSON text content, and handles errors.
case "parse_search_tokens": { const query = String(request.params.arguments?.query); if (!query) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, "Search query is required" ); } try { const tokens = await shodanClient.parseSearchTokens(query); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(tokens, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error) { if (error instanceof McpError) { throw error; } throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Error parsing search tokens: ${(error as Error).message}` ); } } - src/index.ts:400-415 (helper)ShodanClient helper method that performs the actual API call to Shodan's parse tokens endpoint (/shodan/host/search/tokens). Returns the parsed tokens or throws MCPError on failure.
async parseSearchTokens(query: string): Promise<any> { try { const response = await this.axiosInstance.get("/shodan/host/search/tokens", { params: { query } }); return response.data; } catch (error: unknown) { if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Shodan API error: ${error.response?.data?.error || error.message}` ); } throw error; } } - src/index.ts:1042-1054 (registration)Tool registration entry in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler. Defines the tool name, description, and input schema for clients to discover and use the tool.
