Implementation Reference

• src/mcp/tools/proxyTools.ts:369-410 (handler)

  The `handleProxyTool` function acts as the handler for 'get_idea' (and other tools defined in this file). It forwards the call to the main app's MCP handler via `idealiftClient.mcpProxy`.

  export async function handleProxyTool(
    toolName: string,
    args: Record<string, unknown>,
    chatgptSubjectId: string
  ): Promise<{ content: Array<{ type: string; text: string }>; isError: boolean }> {
    try {
      const response = await idealiftClient.mcpProxy(
        chatgptSubjectId,
        'tools/call',
        { name: toolName, arguments: args }
      );
  
      if (response.error) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error: ${response.error.message}` }],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
  
      // The result from handleJsonRpcRequest for tools/call is { content: [...], isError?: boolean }
      const result = response.result as { content?: Array<{ type: string; text: string }>; isError?: boolean } | undefined;
  
      if (result?.content) {
        return {
          content: result.content,
          isError: result.isError || false,
        };
      }
  
      // Fallback: wrap the result as text
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.result, null, 2) }],
        isError: false,
      };
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`[ProxyTool] Error calling ${toolName}:`, error);
      return {
        content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Proxy error: ${(error as Error).message}` }],
        isError: true,
      };
    }
  }

• src/mcp/tools/proxyTools.ts:57-72 (registration)

  The 'get_idea' tool is registered within the `proxyTools` array in `src/mcp/tools/proxyTools.ts`.
