Implementation Reference
- Core handler function that executes the tool logic using GitHub GraphQL API mutation 'addProjectV2ItemById' to add an issue or pull request to a project.
async addProjectItem(data: { projectId: string; contentId: string; contentType: 'issue' | 'pull_request'; }): Promise<ProjectItem> { try { // GraphQL mutation to add an item to a project const mutation = ` mutation($input: AddProjectV2ItemByIdInput!) { addProjectV2ItemById(input: $input) { item { id content { ... on Issue { id title } ... on PullRequest { id title } } } } } `; interface AddProjectItemResponse { addProjectV2ItemById: { item: { id: string; content: { id: string; title: string; }; }; }; } const response = await this.factory.graphql<AddProjectItemResponse>(mutation, { input: { projectId: data.projectId, contentId: data.contentId } }); const itemId = response.addProjectV2ItemById.item.id; const contentId = response.addProjectV2ItemById.item.content.id; const resourceType = data.contentType === 'issue' ? ResourceType.ISSUE : ResourceType.PULL_REQUEST; return { id: itemId, contentId, contentType: resourceType, projectId: data.projectId, fieldValues: {}, createdAt: new Date().toISOString(), updatedAt: new Date().toISOString() }; } catch (error) { throw this.mapErrorToMCPError(error); } } - Zod schema defining input validation for the tool: projectId, contentId, and contentType (issue or pull_request). Includes TypeScript type inference.
