Implementation Reference
- src/spix_mcp/registry.py:535-549 (schema)The CommandSchema definition for contact.create, which maps to the MCP tool name 'spix_contact_create' via the path-to-tool-name conversion (contact.create -> spix_contact_create). Defines the schema (params: name, phone, email, tags), HTTP method (POST), endpoint (/contacts), and that it's exposed as an MCP tool.
CommandSchema( path="contact.create", cli_usage="spix contact create --name <n> --phone <p>", http_method="POST", api_endpoint="/contacts", mcp_expose="tool", mcp_profile="safe", description="Create a new contact", params=[ CommandParam("name", "string", required=True, description="Contact name"), CommandParam("phone", "string", description="Phone number (E.164)"), CommandParam("email", "string", description="Email address"), CommandParam("tags", "array", description="Tags for the contact"), ], ), - src/spix_mcp/server.py:88-97 (registration)Tool registration in the MCP server. The tool name 'spix_contact_create' is generated by prefixing 'spix_' to the path 'contact.create' with dots replaced by underscores. The tool is registered with its inputSchema built from the CommandSchema.

It resolves the tool name to the contact.create schema, builds the POST endpoint /contacts, sends the parameters (name, phone, email, tags) as JSON body, and returns the response envelope.
