Implementation Reference

• src/f1_mcp_server/f1_data.py:125-166 (handler)

  The main handler function that executes the get_event_info tool logic, validating inputs, fetching event data from fastf1, serializing it to JSON-compatible dict, and handling errors.

  def get_event_info(year: Any, identifier: str) -> dict[str, Any]:
      """
      Get information about a specific Formula One event.
  
      Args:
          year (int or str): The year of the F1 season
          identifier (str): Event name or round number
  
      Returns:
          dict: Status and event data or error information
      """
      try:
          # Validate year
          year_int = validate_year(year)

          if not identifier or not isinstance(identifier, str | int):
              raise ValueError("Invalid event identifier")
  
          logger.debug(f"Fetching event info for {year_int}, event: {identifier}")

• src/f1_mcp_server/server.py:298-319 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the get_event_info tool, specifying parameters year (number) and identifier (string). Included in the list_tools() registration.

  types.Tool(
      name="get_event_info",
      description=(
          "Get detailed information about a specific Formula One Grand Prix"
      ),
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "year": {
                  "type": "number",
                  "description": "Season year (e.g., 2023)",
              },

                      "Event name or round number (e.g., 'Monaco' or '7')"

          "required": ["year", "identifier"],
      },
  ),

• src/f1_mcp_server/server.py:165-169 (registration)

  Registration and dispatch logic in the main f1_tool handler, validating arguments and calling the get_event_info function.

  elif name == "get_event_info":
      if "identifier" not in arguments:
          raise ValueError("Missing required argument: identifier")
      identifier = str(arguments["identifier"])
      result = get_event_info(sanitized_args["year"], identifier)

• src/f1_mcp_server/server.py:24-33 (registration)

  Import of the get_event_info handler function from f1_data module.

  from .f1_data import (
      analyze_driver_performance,
      compare_drivers,
      get_championship_standings,
      get_driver_info,
      get_event_info,
      get_event_schedule,
      get_session_results,
      get_telemetry,
  )
