Implementation Reference
- src/tools.ts:278-319 (handler)The handler function that executes the 'create-issue' tool logic, calling the GitHub API to create an issue and returning the result.
const createIssue = async (args: CreateIssueArgs) => { const { owner, repo, title, body, labels = [] } = args; try { const response = await octokit.rest.issues.create({ owner, repo, title, body, labels, }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { number: response.data.number, title: response.data.title, url: response.data.html_url, created_at: response.data.created_at, message: "Issue created successfully", }, null, 2 ), }, ], }; } catch (error) { const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error occurred'; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Error creating issue: ${errorMessage}`, }, ], }; } }; - src/tools.ts:78-110 (schema)The tool schema definition for 'create-issue', including input schema for validation.

export const toolHandlers = { "search-repos": searchRepos, "get-repo-info": getRepoInfo, "list-issues": listIssues, "create-issue": createIssue, }; - src/handlers.ts:19-21 (registration)MCP server request handlers for listing tools (using the tools object) and calling tools (using toolHandlers[name]).
server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: Object.values(tools) })); - src/tools.ts:132-138 (helper)Type definition for the arguments of the createIssue handler.
