Implementation Reference

• src/rootly_mcp_server/server.py:336-344 (registration)

  Registers the 'createService' tool (and all other OpenAPI-derived tools) using FastMCP.from_openapi with the filtered Rootly API spec containing the /services POST endpoint.

  # Create the MCP server using OpenAPI integration
  # By default, all routes become tools which is what we want
  mcp = FastMCP.from_openapi(
      openapi_spec=filtered_spec,
      client=http_client.client,
      name=name,
      timeout=30.0,
      tags={"rootly", "incident-management"},
  )

• src/rootly_mcp_server/server.py:121-172 (registration)

  Defines the allowed API paths including '/services' (for createService POST) and '/services/{service_id}' which are filtered into the OpenAPI spec for tool generation.
