Implementation Reference

  • The @mcp.tool decorator registers the 'add_track_to_playlist' tool with MCP/FastMCP, including annotations for behavior hints.
    @mcp.tool(
        annotations={
            "readOnlyHint": False,
            "destructiveHint": False,
            "idempotentHint": True
        }
    )
  • The primary handler function for the 'add_track_to_playlist' MCP tool. Ensures database connection, calls the database helper, handles errors, and formats the response.
    async def add_track_to_playlist(
        playlist_id: str,
        track_id: str
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
