{ name: "search_code", description: "Search for code across GitHub repositories", inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(search.SearchCodeSchema), }, - index.ts:284-290 (registration)Dispatch handler in CallToolRequestHandler that parses arguments using SearchCodeSchema and invokes the searchCode function.
case "search_code": { const args = search.SearchCodeSchema.parse(request.params.arguments); const results = await search.searchCode(args); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(results, null, 2) }], }; }
