Implementation Reference
- src/mcp/server-full.ts:509-513 (handler)MCP tool handler case for 'update_task': validates input parameters (task_id and data), calls simplicateService.updateTask, and returns JSON stringified result.
case 'update_task': { if (!toolArgs.task_id || !toolArgs.data) throw new Error('task_id and data required'); const data = await this.simplicateService.updateTask(toolArgs.task_id, toolArgs.data); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }] }; } - src/mcp/server-full.ts:284-295 (registration)Tool registration in the listTools response, including name, description, and inputSchema defining required task_id (string) and data (object).
{ name: 'update_task', description: 'Update a task', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { task_id: { type: 'string' }, data: { type: 'object' }, }, required: ['task_id', 'data'], }, }, - Type definition for SimplicateTask used in updateTask (data: Partial<SimplicateTask>). Defines structure of task objects.
export interface SimplicateTask { id: string; title: string; description?: string; project?: { id: string; name: string }; assignee?: { id: string; name: string }; status: string; due_date?: string; } - Core implementation of updateTask: sends PUT request to Simplicate API endpoint `/projects/task/${taskId}` with update data.
async updateTask(taskId: string, data: Partial<SimplicateTask>): Promise<SimplicateTask> { const response = await this.client.put(`/projects/task/${taskId}`, data); return response.data; }
