Implementation Reference
- src/tools/restart-instance.ts:5-22 (handler)The full handler implementation for the 'restart_instance' tool. Registers the tool with no input schema, and on invocation calls POST /instance/restart/{instanceName} via the EvolutionClient.
export function registerRestartInstance(server: McpServer, client: EvolutionClient): void { server.registerTool( "restart_instance", { title: "Restart Instance", description: "Restart the pinned WhatsApp instance (reconnects without logging out).", inputSchema: {}, }, async () => { try { const data = await client.post(`/instance/restart/${client.instanceName}`, {}); return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }] }; } catch (e) { if (e instanceof McpError) return { isError: true, content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: e.message }] }; throw e; } } ); - src/tools/index.ts:132-132 (registration)Registration call that wires up the restart_instance tool to the MCP server and Evolution client.
registerRestartInstance(server, client); - src/tools/index.ts:59-59 (registration)Import of the registerRestartInstance function from the restart-instance module.
import { registerRestartInstance } from "./restart-instance.js"; - src/evolution-client.ts:16-18 (helper)The getter 'instanceName' on EvolutionClient used in the restart handler to build the API path.
get instanceName(): string { return this.instance; } - src/evolution-client.ts:24-26 (helper)The 'post' method on EvolutionClient used by the restart_instance handler to call the Evolution API.
async post<T = unknown>(path: string, body: unknown): Promise<T> { return this.request<T>("POST", path, body); }
