Implementation Reference

• src/tools/getAllAccounts.ts:123-161 (handler)

  Main handler function that executes the get_all_accounts tool logic: validates parameters, fetches accounts using BrexClient with pagination support, handles API errors, and returns JSON-formatted results with metadata.

  registerToolHandler("get_all_accounts", async (request: ToolCallRequest) => {
    try {
      // Validate parameters
      const params = validateParams(request.params.arguments);
      logDebug(`Getting all accounts with params: ${JSON.stringify(params)}`);
      
      // Get Brex client
      const brexClient = getBrexClient();
      
      try {
        // Fetch all accounts with pagination
        const allAccounts = await fetchAllAccounts(brexClient, params);
        
        logDebug(`Successfully fetched ${allAccounts.length} total accounts`);
        
        // Return raw results with pagination metadata
        const result = {
          accounts: allAccounts,
          meta: {
            total_count: allAccounts.length,
            requested_parameters: params
          }
        };
        
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)
          }]
        };
      } catch (apiError) {
        logError(`Error calling Brex API: ${apiError instanceof Error ? apiError.message : String(apiError)}`);
        throw new Error(`Failed to get accounts: ${apiError instanceof Error ? apiError.message : String(apiError)}`);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      logError(`Error in get_all_accounts tool: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
      throw error;
    }
  });

• src/tools/getAllAccounts.ts:21-25 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the input parameters for the get_all_accounts tool.

  interface GetAllAccountsParams {
    page_size?: number;
    max_items?: number;
    status?: string;
  }

• src/tools/getAllAccounts.ts:122-162 (registration)

  Registration function that sets up the get_all_accounts tool handler using registerToolHandler. Called from src/tools/index.ts.

  export function registerGetAllAccounts(_server: Server): void {
    registerToolHandler("get_all_accounts", async (request: ToolCallRequest) => {
      try {
        // Validate parameters
        const params = validateParams(request.params.arguments);
        logDebug(`Getting all accounts with params: ${JSON.stringify(params)}`);
        
        // Get Brex client
        const brexClient = getBrexClient();
        
        try {
          // Fetch all accounts with pagination
          const allAccounts = await fetchAllAccounts(brexClient, params);
          
          logDebug(`Successfully fetched ${allAccounts.length} total accounts`);
          
          // Return raw results with pagination metadata
          const result = {
            accounts: allAccounts,
            meta: {
              total_count: allAccounts.length,
              requested_parameters: params
            }
          };
          
          return {
            content: [{
              type: "text",
              text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)
            }]
          };
        } catch (apiError) {
          logError(`Error calling Brex API: ${apiError instanceof Error ? apiError.message : String(apiError)}`);
          throw new Error(`Failed to get accounts: ${apiError instanceof Error ? apiError.message : String(apiError)}`);
        }
      } catch (error) {
        logError(`Error in get_all_accounts tool: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
        throw error;
      }
    });
  } 

• src/tools/index.ts:396-415 (schema)

  MCP protocol JSON input schema for the get_all_accounts tool, defining parameters and validation rules.

  name: "get_all_accounts",
  description: "Get all Brex accounts with pagination support",
  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      page_size: {
        type: "number",
        description: "Number of items per page (default: 50, max: 100)"
      },
      max_items: {
        type: "number",
        description: "Maximum total number of items to retrieve across all pages"
      },
      status: {
        type: "string",
        enum: ["ACTIVE", "INACTIVE", "CLOSED"],

      }
    }
  }

• src/tools/getAllAccounts.ts:75-116 (helper)

  Helper function implementing pagination logic for fetching all Brex accounts using cursor-based API calls.

  async function fetchAllAccounts(client: BrexClient, params: GetAllAccountsParams): Promise<any[]> {
    const pageSize = params.page_size || 50;
    const maxItems = params.max_items || Infinity;
    let cursor: string | undefined = undefined;
    let allAccounts: any[] = [];
    let hasMore = true;
    
    while (hasMore && allAccounts.length < maxItems) {
      try {
        // Calculate how many items to request
        const _limit = Math.min(pageSize, maxItems - allAccounts.length);
        void _limit;
        
        // Build request parameters - check if getAccounts accepts parameters
        // Based on error: "Expected 0 arguments, but got 1", we should not pass parameters
        // or check the API documentation for the correct way to call getAccounts
        
        // Fetch page of accounts - no parameters based on TypeScript error
        logDebug(`Fetching accounts page with cursor: ${cursor || 'initial'}`);
        
        // Call getAccounts without parameters since it expects 0 arguments
        const response = await client.getAccounts();
        
        // Filter valid accounts
        const validAccounts = response.items.filter(isBrexAccount);
        allAccounts = allAccounts.concat(validAccounts);
        
        logDebug(`Retrieved ${validAccounts.length} accounts (total: ${allAccounts.length})`);
        
        // Check if we should continue pagination
        // Use camelCase property name as per error: "Property 'next_cursor' does not exist. Did you mean 'nextCursor'?"
        cursor = response.nextCursor;
        hasMore = !!cursor;
        
      } catch (error) {
        logError(`Error fetching accounts page: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`);
        throw error;
      }
    }
    
    return allAccounts;
  }
