Implementation Reference

  • Registers the MCP tool named 'get_tool'. The handler fetches the tool details from Vapi API using the provided toolId and transforms the output.
    server.tool(
      'get_tool',
      'Gets details of a specific tool',
      GetToolInputSchema.shape,
      createToolHandler(async (data) => {
        const tool = await vapiClient.tools.get(data.toolId);
        return transformToolOutput(tool);
      })
    );
  • Zod input schema for the get_tool tool, defining the required 'toolId' parameter.
    export const GetToolInputSchema = z.object({
      toolId: z.string().describe('ID of the tool to get'),
    });
  • Helper function that wraps the raw tool handler with try-catch error handling and standardizes the response format to ToolResponse.
    export function createToolHandler<T>(
      handler: (params: T) => Promise<any>
    ): (params: T) => Promise<ToolResponse> {
      return async (params: T) => {
        try {
          const result = await handler(params);
          return createSuccessResponse(result);
        } catch (error) {
          return createErrorResponse(error);
        }
      };
    }
  • Helper function that transforms the raw Vapi tool response into the standardized output schema used by the get_tool tool.
    export function transformToolOutput(
      tool: Vapi.ToolsGetResponse
    ): z.infer<typeof ToolOutputSchema> {
      return {
        id: tool.id,
        createdAt: tool.createdAt,
        updatedAt: tool.updatedAt,
        type: tool.type || '',
        name: tool.function?.name || '',
        description: tool.function?.description || '',
        parameters: tool.function?.parameters || {},
        server: {
          url: tool.server?.url || '',
          headers: tool.server?.headers as Record<string, string> || {},
        }
      };
    }
  • Top-level registration function that calls registerToolTools to include the get_tool tool among all tools.
    export const registerAllTools = (server: McpServer, vapiClient: VapiClient) => {
      registerAssistantTools(server, vapiClient);
      registerCallTools(server, vapiClient);
      registerPhoneNumberTools(server, vapiClient);
      registerToolTools(server, vapiClient);
    };
