Implementation Reference
- Core handler function that executes the API call to fetch raw block hex data from the endpoint `block/${hash}/raw`.
async getBlockRaw({ hash }: { hash: string }): Promise<string | null> { return this.client.makeRequest<string>(`block/${hash}/raw`); } - Input schema validation using Zod for the 'hash' parameter (exactly 64 characters).
{ hash: z.string().length(64).describe("The block hash to get raw hex for"), }, - src/interface/controllers/BlocksToolsController.ts:75-87 (registration)Registers the 'get-block-raw' tool with the MCP server, specifying name, description, input schema, and thin handler that delegates to BlocksService.
private registerGetBlockRawHandler(): void { this.server.tool( "get-block-raw", "Returns raw hex for a block", { hash: z.string().length(64).describe("The block hash to get raw hex for"), }, async ({ hash }) => { const text = await this.blocksService.getBlockRaw({ hash }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text }] }; } ); } - Helper method in BlocksService that wraps the request service call and adds a descriptive prefix to the raw hex response.
async getBlockRaw({ hash }: IHashParameter): Promise<string> { const data = await this.requestService.getBlockRaw({ hash }); return `Block Raw Hex: ${data}`; }
