Implementation Reference

  • The MCP tool handler function for 'bmad_update_task_status'. It extracts taskId and status from args, calls the BMADService to update the task status, and returns a success response with the details.
    tools.set('bmad_update_task_status', async (args: any) => {
      const updated = await bmadService.updateTaskStatus(args.taskId, args.status);
      return { success: updated, taskId: args.taskId, status: args.status };
    });
  • The input schema definition for the 'bmad_update_task_status' tool, specifying required taskId (string) and status (enum of possible task statuses).
    {
      name: 'bmad_update_task_status',
      description: 'Update the status of a specific task',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          taskId: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'ID of the task to update'
          },
          status: {
            type: 'string',
            enum: ['pending', 'assigned', 'in-progress', 'needs-revision', 'completed'],
            description: 'New status for the task'
          }
        },
        required: ['taskId', 'status']
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:405-407 (registration)
    Registration of BMAD tools (including 'bmad_update_task_status') in the main server by calling registerBMADTools with the tools Map and BMADService instance, then adding definitions to toolDefinitions.
    if (this.config.services.bmad && this.bmadService) {
      const bmadTools = registerBMADTools(this.tools, this.bmadService);
      this.toolDefinitions.push(...bmadTools);
  • BMADService helper method that finds a task by ID in the internal tasks array, updates its status and updatedAt timestamp if found, and returns boolean success.
    async updateTaskStatus(taskId: string, status: Task['status']): Promise<boolean> {
      const task = this.tasks.find(t => t.id === taskId);
      if (task) {
        task.status = status;
        task.updatedAt = new Date().toISOString();
        return true;
      }
      return false;
    }
