Implementation Reference

  • Core handler function that executes the GitHub API POST request to /user/repos to create the repository.
    export async function createRepository(options: CreateRepositoryOptions) {
      const response = await githubRequest("https://api.github.com/user/repos", {
        method: "POST",
        body: options,
      });
      return GitHubRepositorySchema.parse(response);
    }
  • Zod schema defining the input parameters for the create_repository tool.
    export const CreateRepositoryOptionsSchema = z.object({
      name: z.string().describe("Repository name"),
      description: z.string().optional().describe("Repository description"),
      private: z.boolean().optional().describe("Whether the repository should be private"),
      autoInit: z.boolean().optional().describe("Initialize with README.md"),
    });
  • index.ts:78-82 (registration)
    Tool registration in the list of available tools returned by ListToolsRequestHandler.
    {
      name: "create_repository",
      description: "Create a new GitHub repository in your account",
      inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(repository.CreateRepositoryOptionsSchema),
    },
  • Dispatcher handler in the CallToolRequestHandler switch statement that parses arguments and delegates to the core createRepository function.
    case "create_repository": {
      const args = repository.CreateRepositoryOptionsSchema.parse(request.params.arguments);
      const result = await repository.createRepository(args);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }],
      };
    }
