getDeveloperConsiderations

Implementation Reference

• server.ts:167-184 (registration)

  Complete registration of the 'getDeveloperConsiderations' MCP tool, including description, empty input schema using Zod, and inline async handler that returns a markdown/text content block sourced from the global hipaaData object.

  /**
   * Tool for understanding developer-specific architectural decisions.
   */
  server.tool(
    'getDeveloperConsiderations',
    {
      description: 'Provides guidance on key developer decisions, including the cloud Shared Responsibility Model and a framework for "Build vs. Outsource" choices.',
      schema: z.object({}),
    },
    async () => {
      return {
        content: [{
          type: 'text',
          text: hipaaData['developer_considerations']
        }]
      };
    }
  );

• server.ts:176-183 (handler)

  The inline handler function executing the tool logic: fetches 'developer_considerations' from hipaaData and formats it as MCP content response.

  async () => {
    return {
      content: [{
        type: 'text',
        text: hipaaData['developer_considerations']
      }]
    };
  }

• server.ts:8-18 (helper)

  Loads the hipaaData JSON object from 'hipaa-content.json' at startup, providing the data source ('developer_considerations') used by the tool handler.

  const knowledgeBasePath = path.join(process.cwd(), 'hipaa-content.json');
  let hipaaData;
  try {
    hipaaData = JSON.parse(fs.readFileSync(knowledgeBasePath, 'utf-8'));
    console.log('✅ HIPAA knowledge base loaded successfully');
  } catch (error) {
    console.error(`FATAL ERROR: Could not load knowledge base from ${knowledgeBasePath}.`);
    console.error('Please ensure the hipaa-content.json file exists in the same directory.');
    console.error('Error details:', error);
    process.exit(1); // Exit if the core data is missing
  }

• server.ts:172-175 (schema)

  Tool metadata including description and input schema (empty Zod object, no parameters required).

  {
    description: 'Provides guidance on key developer decisions, including the cloud Shared Responsibility Model and a framework for "Build vs. Outsource" choices.',
    schema: z.object({}),
  },
