Implementation Reference

  • Executes the add_task tool: creates a new Task from input arguments, appends it to the tasks list, persists data to file, and returns a success response with the new task.
    case "add_task": {
      const task: Task = {
        id: Date.now().toString(),
        title: args.title as string,
        description: args.description as string,
        status: "pending",
        priority: args.priority as "low" | "medium" | "high",
        estimatedPomodoros: args.estimatedPomodoros as number,
        completedPomodoros: 0,
        createdAt: new Date().toISOString(),
      };
      data.tasks.push(task);
      saveData(data);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify(
              { success: true, task, message: "Task added successfully" },
              null,
              2
            ),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Defines the tool metadata including name, description, and input schema for validating add_task parameters.
    {
      name: "add_task",
      description: "Add a new task to the todo list",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          title: { type: "string", description: "Task title" },
          description: { type: "string", description: "Task description" },
          priority: {
            type: "string",
            enum: ["low", "medium", "high"],
            description: "Task priority",
          },
          estimatedPomodoros: {
            type: "number",
            description: "Estimated number of pomodoros needed",
          },
        },
        required: ["title", "priority", "estimatedPomodoros"],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:245-247 (registration)
    Registers the list tools handler which exposes the add_task tool (among others) via the TOOLS array.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({
      tools: TOOLS,
    }));
  • TypeScript interface defining the structure of a Task, used in the add_task handler.
    interface Task {
      id: string;
      title: string;
      description?: string;
      status: "pending" | "in-progress" | "completed";
      priority: "low" | "medium" | "high";
      estimatedPomodoros: number;
      completedPomodoros: number;
      createdAt: string;
      completedAt?: string;
    }
