Implementation Reference
- src/index.js:72-80 (registration)Registers the getNetworks MCP tool with empty input schema {}, description, and inline handler function.

Returns network IDs like "ethereum", "solana", etc.', {}, async () => { const data = await fetchFromAPI('/networks'); return formatMcpResponse(data); } ); - src/index.js:76-79 (handler)Handler function that fetches network data from DexPaprika API endpoint '/networks' and formats it for MCP response.
async () => { const data = await fetchFromAPI('/networks'); return formatMcpResponse(data); } - src/index.js:75-75 (schema)Empty input schema (no parameters required) for getNetworks tool.
{}, - src/index.js:10-34 (helper)Helper function to fetch data from DexPaprika API, handles errors including 410 (deprecated endpoints) and 429 (rate limits), called by getNetworks handler.
