Implementation Reference

• src/uscardforum/server_tools/users.py:86-118 (handler)

  The core MCP tool handler for 'get_user_replies'. Decorated with @mcp.tool(), defines input schema via Annotated Fields (username: str, offset: int|None), and delegates to the DiscourseClient via get_client() to fetch the user's replies as a list of UserAction objects.

  @mcp.tool()
  def get_user_replies(
      username: Annotated[
          str,
          Field(description="The user's handle"),
      ],
      offset: Annotated[
          int | None,
          Field(default=None, description="Pagination offset (0, 30, 60, ...)"),
      ] = None,
  ) -> list[UserAction]:

• src/uscardforum/server_tools/__init__.py:37-47 (registration)

  Registration via import: Imports the get_user_replies tool function from users.py into the server_tools package namespace, making it available for re-export and use in the MCP server.

  from .users import (
      get_user_summary,
      get_user_topics,
      get_user_replies,
      get_user_actions,
      get_user_badges,
      get_user_following,
      get_user_followers,
      get_user_reactions,
      list_users_with_badge,
  )

• src/uscardforum/server.py:15-45 (registration)

  Re-export of get_user_replies from server_tools in the main server entrypoint, ensuring the tool is available when the MCP server runs.

  from uscardforum.server_tools import (
      analyze_user,
      bookmark_post,
      compare_cards,
      find_data_points,
      get_all_topic_posts,

• src/uscardforum/api/users.py:112-127 (helper)

  Underlying API helper method in UsersAPI that implements get_user_replies by calling get_user_actions with filter=5 (replies). This is the logic layer called by the client.

  def get_user_replies(
      self,
      username: str,
      offset: int | None = None,
  ) -> list[UserAction]:

      Returns:

      return self.get_user_actions(username, filter=5, offset=offset)

• src/uscardforum/client.py:343-357 (helper)

  Client wrapper method in DiscourseClient that delegates get_user_replies to the UsersAPI instance, called by the MCP tool handler.

  def get_user_replies(
      self,
      username: str,
      offset: int | None = None,
