Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:949-963 (registration)Registers the MCP tool 'optionsData_realtimeOptions' with server.addTool, defining its name, description, input schema, and execute handler function.
server.addTool({ name: "optionsData_realtimeOptions", description: "Fetches realtime options chain data. Premium endpoint.", parameters: schemas.OptionsDataRealtimeOptionsParamsSchema, execute: ( args, context // Let type be inferred ) => executeAvantageTool( "optionsData_realtimeOptions", args, context, (av, params) => av.optionsData.realtimeOptions(params) ), }); - src/index.ts:961-962 (handler)Specific handler logic within the execute function: calls the AVantage library's optionsData.realtimeOptions method with params.
(av, params) => av.optionsData.realtimeOptions(params) ), - src/schemas.ts:190-194 (schema)Zod schema defining input parameters for the tool: symbol (required), contract (optional), datatype (optional).
export const OptionsDataRealtimeOptionsParamsSchema = z.object({ symbol: z.string().describe('The underlying stock symbol (e.g., "AAPL").'), contract: z.string().optional().describe('Specific option contract ID to fetch details for.'), datatype: DatatypeSchema.default('json').optional(), }).describe('Parameters for fetching realtime options chain data (Premium).') - src/index.ts:38-115 (helper)Generic helper function used by all tools, including this one: manages Alpha Vantage API key and client instance via resource manager, invokes the specific AVantage method, handles errors, and returns JSON-stringified data.
