Implementation Reference
- src/mcp-server.ts:336-362 (registration)Registration of the 'list_models' tool with the MCP server via server.registerTool(). Defines description, inputSchema (empty), readOnlyHint annotation, and the handler callback.
server.registerTool( "list_models", { description: "List available DeepSeek models for model selection and validation. This tool takes no parameters. Use it before passing an explicit model ID to generation tools.", inputSchema: emptyToolInputSchema, annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, }, }, async () => { try { const models = await options.client.listModels(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: models.data.map((model) => model.id).join("\n") || "(no models returned)", }, ], structuredContent: models as unknown as Record<string, unknown>, }; } catch (error) { return makeToolErrorResult(error); } }, ); - src/mcp-server.ts:346-361 (handler)Handler function for 'list_models': calls options.client.listModels() and returns model IDs joined by newlines in the response content, plus the full structured response.
