Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:45-87 (handler)The asynchronous handler function for the 'create_project' MCP tool, which processes input, creates the project via store, and returns formatted response or error.
async ({ name, description, techStack, currentPhase }) => { try { const project = await this.store.createProject({ name, description, status: "planning", techStack: techStack || { frontend: [], backend: [], database: [], infrastructure: [], tools: [], }, architecture: { observability: [], }, currentPhase, nextSteps: [], tasks: [], decisions: [], notes: [], }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Project "${project.name}" created with ID: ${project.id}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating project: ${ error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown error" }`, }, ], }; } } - src/server.ts:30-43 (schema)Zod input schema for validating parameters of the create_project tool.
