Implementation Reference
- src/services/testrailService.ts:296-326 (handler)Core handler function that fetches a single TestRail test case by ID via the TestRail client, destructures the response, extracts custom fields, and returns a normalized CaseSummary object.
export async function getCase(caseId: number): Promise<CaseSummary> { const data: TestRailCaseDto = await testRailClient.getCase(caseId); const { id, title, section_id, type_id, priority_id, refs, created_on, updated_on, ...rest } = data; const custom: Record<string, unknown> = {}; for (const [key, value] of Object.entries(rest)) { if (key.startsWith('custom_')) custom[key] = value; } return { id, title, section_id, type_id, priority_id, refs: refs ?? null, created_on, updated_on, custom: Object.keys(custom).length ? custom : undefined, }; } - src/server.ts:19-60 (registration)Registers the 'get_case' MCP tool, including input schema validation with Zod (case_id as positive integer), description, and the handler wrapper that invokes getCase from testrailService and formats the response as JSON text.
server.registerTool( 'get_case', { title: 'Get TestRail Case', description: 'Fetch a TestRail test case by ID.', inputSchema: { case_id: z.number().int().positive().describe('TestRail case ID'), }, }, async ({ case_id }) => { logger.debug(`Tool called with case_id: ${case_id}`); try { const result = await getCase(case_id); logger.debug(`Tool completed successfully for case_id: ${case_id}`); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (err) { logger.error({ err }, `Tool failed for case_id: ${case_id}`); const e = err as { type?: string; status?: number; message?: string }; let message = 'Unexpected error'; if (e?.type === 'auth') message = 'Authentication failed: check TESTRAIL_USER/API_KEY'; else if (e?.type === 'not_found') message = `Case ${case_id} not found`; else if (e?.type === 'rate_limited') message = 'Rate limited by TestRail; try again later'; else if (e?.type === 'server') message = 'TestRail server error'; else if (e?.type === 'network') message = 'Network error contacting TestRail'; else if (e?.message) message = e.message; return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: message }, ], isError: true, }; } }, ); - TypeScript interface defining the structure of the normalized case data returned by the getCase handler, including core fields and optional custom fields.
