action_check

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/mcpServer.ts:244-254 (handler)

  Handler for the 'action_check' MCP tool. Sends a 'performAction' request with action 'check' to the poker server via socket.io, updates view_text with action confirmation, and appends the formatted updated table state after polling until the player is active.

  else if (request.params.name === "action_check") {
    response = await sendPokerRequest('performAction', { 
      playerId: args?.player_id,
      tableId: args?.table_id,
      action: 'check' 
    });
    view_text = `Player ${args?.player_id} action: Check\n Game state:\n`;
    
    // Get updated table state
    view_text += await pollUntilPlayerActive(args?.player_id, args?.table_id);
  } 

• src/mcpServer.ts:78-90 (registration)

  Registration of the 'action_check' tool in the ListToolsRequestHandler response, including its description and input schema requiring player_id and table_id.

  {
    name: "action_check",
    description: "do action check",
    inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          player_id: { type: "string" },
          table_id: { type: "string" },
        },
        required: ["player_id", "table_id"],
    },
  },
  {

• src/mcpServer.ts:174-195 (helper)

  Helper function used by action_check (and other tools) to send requests to the underlying poker server via socket.io.

  function sendPokerRequest(method: string, params: any): Promise<any> {
    return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
      const request = {
        method,
        params,
        id: Date.now()
      };
      
      //console.log(`[Client] Sending request: ${method}`, params);
      
      socket.emit('action', request, (response: any) => {
        //console.log(`[Client] Received response for ${method}:`, response);
        
        if (response.error) {
          console.error(`[Client] Error in ${method}:`, response.error);
          reject(response.error);
        } else {
          resolve(response.result);
        }
      });
    });
  }

• src/mcpServer.ts:148-173 (helper)

  Helper function used by action_check (and other action tools) to poll the table state until the current player is active, then formats and returns the table state.

  async function pollUntilPlayerActive(player_id:unknown, table_id:unknown) {
      let tableState = null;
      let counter = 0;
      while(true) {
          tableState = await sendPokerRequest('getTableState', { 
              playerId: player_id,
              tableId: table_id 
          });
          counter ++;
          if (counter > 120) {
              break
          }
          
          const currentPlayer = tableState.players.find((p: any) => p.isActive);
          if (currentPlayer && currentPlayer.id === player_id) {
              break;
          }
          await sleep(1000);
      }
  
      if (tableState === null) {
          return '';
      }
  
      return formatTableState(tableState);
  }

• src/mcpServer.ts:331-369 (helper)

  Helper function to format the table state into a readable string, used in the response after action_check.

  function formatTableState(tableState: any): string {
    if (!tableState) return "No table state available.";
    
    let result = `Table: ${tableState.name} (ID: ${tableState.id})\n`;
    result += `Stage: ${tableState.stage}\n`;
    result += `Pot: $${tableState.pot}\n`;
    result += `Current Bet: $${tableState.currentBet}\n`;
    
    // Find the current active player
    const currentPlayer = tableState.players.find((p: any) => p.isActive);
    if (currentPlayer) {
      result += `Current Player: ${currentPlayer.name} (ID: ${currentPlayer.id})\n`;
    }
    
    // Community cards
    result += `Community Cards: ${tableState.communityCards.join(', ') || 'None'}\n\n`;
    
    // Players
    result += "Players:\n";
    tableState.players.forEach((player: any) => {
      result += `- ${player.name}: $${player.chips} chips`;
      
      if (player.isDealer) result += " (Dealer)";
      if (player.isSmallBlind) result += " (Small Blind)";
      if (player.isBigBlind) result += " (Big Blind)";
      if (player.isActive) result += " (Active)";
      if (player.folded) result += " (Folded)";
      if (player.isAllIn) result += " (All-In)";
      
      result += ` - Bet: $${player.bet}\n`;
      
      // Show hand if available
      if (player.hand && player.hand.length > 0) {
        result += `  Hand: ${player.hand.join(', ')}\n`;
      }
    });
    
    return result;
  }
