Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/hotel-mcp/server/standard.ts:178-212 (handler)

  The async handler function for the 'get-facilities' tool. Fetches facilities data for the specified language using getFacilitiesByLanguage, parses the JSON response, and returns a formatted success or error message with the facilities list.

    async (params) => {
      const lang = params.language || "en";
      // Create a mock URL for the getFacilitiesByLanguage function
      const uri = new URL(`hotel://facilities/${lang}`);
      const result = await getFacilitiesByLanguage(uri, lang);
      
      // Extract the facilities from the result
      let facilities = [];
      try {
        facilities = JSON.parse(result.contents[0].text);
      } catch (e) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify({
              status: "error",
              message: "Failed to parse facilities data"
            })
          }]
        };
      }
      
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify({
            status: "success",
            facilities: facilities,
            message: `Retrieved ${facilities.length} hotel facilities in ${lang} language. 
  IMPORTANT: You MUST identify the facility_id values that match the user's requirements and include them in the facilities parameter of the search-hotels tool. 
  For example, if the user wants pet-friendly hotels, find the facility_id for "Pets allowed" in this list and include it in your search-hotels call.`
          })
        }]
      };
    }

• src/hotel-mcp/server/standard.ts:175-177 (schema)

  The Zod input schema for the 'get-facilities' tool defining the optional 'language' parameter.

  {
    language: z.string().default("en").describe("Language code for facility names (en, es, it, he, ar, de)"),
  },

• src/hotel-mcp/server/standard.ts:150-213 (registration)

  The server.tool call registering the 'get-facilities' tool, including its name, detailed description instructing usage before searches, input schema, and inline handler implementation.

  server.tool(
    "get-facilities",
    `IMPORTANT: ALWAYS USE THIS TOOL FIRST when a user mentions ANY specific hotel amenities or requirements.
  
  This tool must be called BEFORE search-hotels whenever the user mentions requirements like:
  - Pet-friendly or traveling with pets/dogs/cats
  - WiFi or internet access
  - Swimming pools
  - Parking (free or paid)
  - Air conditioning or heating
  - Fitness center or gym
  - Restaurant or room service
  - Family rooms
  - Non-smoking rooms
  - Any other specific hotel features
  
  The tool returns facility IDs that MUST be used with the search-hotels tool's facilities parameter
  to properly filter hotels. Without using this tool first, searches will not correctly filter for 
  user-requested amenities.
  
  Example workflow:
  1. User asks for "pet-friendly hotels in Paris"
  2. Call get-facilities to find the facility_id for "Pets allowed"
  3. Use that facility_id in the search-hotels facilities parameter
  `,
    {
      language: z.string().default("en").describe("Language code for facility names (en, es, it, he, ar, de)"),
    },
    async (params) => {
      const lang = params.language || "en";
      // Create a mock URL for the getFacilitiesByLanguage function
      const uri = new URL(`hotel://facilities/${lang}`);
      const result = await getFacilitiesByLanguage(uri, lang);
      
      // Extract the facilities from the result
      let facilities = [];
      try {
        facilities = JSON.parse(result.contents[0].text);
      } catch (e) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: JSON.stringify({
              status: "error",
              message: "Failed to parse facilities data"
            })
          }]
        };
      }
      
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify({
            status: "success",
            facilities: facilities,
            message: `Retrieved ${facilities.length} hotel facilities in ${lang} language. 
  IMPORTANT: You MUST identify the facility_id values that match the user's requirements and include them in the facilities parameter of the search-hotels tool. 
  For example, if the user wants pet-friendly hotels, find the facility_id for "Pets allowed" in this list and include it in your search-hotels call.`
          })
        }]
      };
    }
  );

• src/hotel-mcp/utils.ts:14-26 (helper)

  Helper function loadFacilitiesData that loads the hotel facilities data from facilities.json file, used indirectly by the getFacilitiesByLanguage function called in the tool handler.

  export function loadFacilitiesData(): any[] {
    try {
      if (fs.existsSync(FACILITIES_PATH)) {
        const data = fs.readFileSync(FACILITIES_PATH, "utf-8");
        return JSON.parse(data);
      } else {
        console.warn("facilities.json not found at:", FACILITIES_PATH);
      }
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error loading facilities data:", error);
    }
    return []; // Return empty array on error or if file not found
  }
