async () => { const publicIp = await getPublicIp(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: publicIp }] }; } - src/mcp/public-ip.ts:8-23 (helper)Core helper function that fetches the machine's public IP address via HTTPS request to api.ipify.org.
export async function getPublicIp(): Promise<string> { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { https.get('https://api.ipify.org', (res) => { let data = ''; res.on('data', (chunk) => { data += chunk; }); res.on('end', () => { resolve(data.trim()); }); }).on('error', (err) => { console.error("Error fetching public IP from api.ipify.org:", err); reject(new Error("Failed to fetch public IP address")); }); }); } - src/mcp/public-ip.ts:25-39 (registration)Function that registers the 'get_public_ip' tool on the MCP server by calling server.tool with name, description, and handler.
export function registerPublicIpTool(server: McpServer): void { server.tool( "get_public_ip", "Returns the public IP address of the machine running the MCP server.", async () => { const publicIp = await getPublicIp(); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: publicIp }] }; } ); } - src/index.ts:20-20 (registration)Top-level call to registerPublicIpTool during server setup, which registers the get_public_ip tool.
