Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:139-146 (handler)The MCP tool handler for 'get_symbol_summary' which calls the cache service to retrieve the symbol and project summary.
async (args: PositionArgs) => { const { symbol, project } = cache.getSymbolSummary(args.file, args.line, args.column, args); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify({ file: args.file, line: args.line, column: args.column, symbol, project }, null, 2), }, - src/server.ts:132-138 (registration)The registration of the 'get_symbol_summary' tool within the MCP server.
server.registerTool( "get_symbol_summary", { title: "Get Symbol Summary", description: "Return symbol kind, display text, declaration location, and project metadata for a 1-based source position.", inputSchema: definitionSchema, }, - src/project-service.ts:320-331 (helper)Helper method in ProjectService that bridges the tool handler call to the underlying service that performs the actual symbol lookup.
public getSymbolSummary( filePath: string, line: number, column: number, options: ProjectLookupOptions, ): { symbol: SymbolSummary | null; project: ProjectMetadata } { const service = this.getOrCreate({ ...options, file: filePath }); return { symbol: service.getSymbolSummary(filePath, line, column), project: service.getProjectMetadata(), }; }
