Implementation Reference
- The core handler logic for fetching absences from the Simplicate HRM API endpoint '/hrm/absence'. This is the implementation executed when the 'get_absences' tool is called via dynamic dispatching in http-mcp-server.
async getAbsences(params?: { limit?: number; offset?: number }): Promise<SimplicateAbsence[]> { const response = await this.client.get('/hrm/absence', params); return response.data || []; } - Type definition/schema for the absence objects returned by getAbsences
export interface SimplicateAbsence { id: string; employee?: { id: string; name: string }; absence_type: string; start_date: string; end_date: string; } - src/http-mcp-server.ts:25-54 (helper)Dynamic tool dispatcher that maps 'get_absences' tool name to 'getAbsences' service method via toMethodName conversion and executes it using SimplicateServiceExtended instance.
async function dispatchTool(toolName: string, args: any) { const method = toMethodName(toolName); // heuristic param extraction const params: any[] = []; if (args && typeof args === 'object') { // common id patterns const idKeys = ['project_id','organization_id','person_id','task_id','service_id','invoice_id','id']; let foundId = false; for (const k of idKeys) { if (k in args) { params.push(args[k]); foundId = true; break; } } if (args.data) params.push(args.data); if (!foundId && params.length === 0) params.push(args); } else if (args !== undefined) { params.push(args); } // @ts-ignore - dynamic call if (typeof (service as any)[method] === 'function') { // call and return // Some methods expect a single primitive id; spread params return await (service as any)[method](...params); } throw new Error(`Unknown tool/method: ${toolName} -> ${method}`); } - src/http-mcp-server.ts:20-23 (helper)Utility function that converts MCP tool names like 'get_absences' to service method names like 'getAbsences'.
function toMethodName(toolName: string) { // convert snake_case to camelCase: get_projects -> getProjects return toolName.split('_').map((p, i) => i === 0 ? p : p[0].toUpperCase() + p.slice(1)).join(''); }
