Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:217-234 (registration)

  Registration of the 'add_member' MCP tool, defining its metadata and input schema.

  {
    name: 'add_member',
    description: 'Add a new member to a gathering',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        gathering_id: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'ID of the gathering',
        },
        member_name: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Name of the member to add',
        },
      },
      required: ['gathering_id', 'member_name'],
    },
  },

• src/index.ts:355-360 (handler)

  Handler for the 'add_member' tool call in the MCP server. Validates arguments and constructs the Python CLI command to execute the operation.

  case 'add_member':
    if (!isMemberArgs(args)) {
      throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Invalid add_member arguments');
    }
    command += ` add-member "${args.gathering_id}" "${args.member_name}"`;
    break;

• src/index.ts:286-289 (helper)

  Type guard helper function used to validate input arguments for the 'add_member' tool.

  const isMemberArgs = (args: any): args is { gathering_id: string; member_name: string } =>
    typeof args === 'object' && args !== null &&
    typeof args.gathering_id === 'string' &&
    typeof args.member_name === 'string';

• models.py:212-257 (handler)

  Core implementation of adding a member in the database layer (DatabaseManager.add_member), called by the service.
