Implementation Reference
- src/zipp_mcp/server.py:94-115 (handler)The MCP tool handler for 'get_latest'. Decorated with @mcp.tool, it accepts lang, category, and limit parameters, creates a ZippClient, and delegates to the client's get_latest method.
@mcp.tool( name="get_latest", description=( "Latest news from the last 24 hours. Optionally scoped to a " "category. Returns posts ordered newest-first. Use for 'what's " "new today?' or 'what happened in DeFi today?'." ), ) async def get_latest( lang: str = _DEFAULT_LANG, category: str | None = None, limit: int = _DEFAULT_LIMIT, ) -> dict[str, Any]: """Get latest news from the last 24h.

""" async with ZippClient() as client: return await client.get_latest(lang=lang, category=category, limit=limit) - src/zipp_mcp/server.py:94-101 (schema)The MCP tool decorator registers 'get_latest' with its name and description. The schema is inferred from the function signature parameters (lang: str, category: str | None, limit: int).
