Implementation Reference

• goodday_mcp/main.py:476-491 (handler)

  The handler function decorated with @mcp.tool() that implements the 'get_task' tool. It fetches task details via the Goodday API using the provided task_id and formats the response using format_task.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def get_task(task_id: str) -> str:
      """Get details of a specific task.
  
      Args:
          task_id: The ID of the task to retrieve
      """
      data = await make_goodday_request(f"task/{task_id}")
      
      if not data:
          return "Task not found."
      
      if isinstance(data, dict) and "error" in data:
          return f"Unable to fetch task: {data.get('error', 'Unknown error')}"
      
      return format_task(data)

• goodday_mcp/main.py:94-113 (helper)

  Helper function to format the raw task data into a human-readable markdown string.
