Implementation Reference
- src/index.js:163-182 (registration)Registration of the 'get_generation_status' tool via server.registerTool, including its schema (input: generation_id) and a handler that delegates to callRemoteTool.
server.registerTool( "get_generation_status", { description: "Check the status of an asynchronous presentation generation job. Use this after generate_presentation until the status reaches completed or failed.", inputSchema: { generation_id: z .string() .min(1) .describe("Generation job identifier returned by generate_presentation."), }, }, async (args) => { try { return await callRemoteTool("get_generation_status", args); } catch (error) { return normalizeError(error); } }, ); - src/index.js:168-173 (schema)Input schema for the tool: requires a single string parameter 'generation_id' (min length 1).
inputSchema: { generation_id: z .string() .min(1) .describe("Generation job identifier returned by generate_presentation."), }, - src/index.js:175-181 (handler)Handler function for get_generation_status that calls the remote tool via callRemoteTool with error normalization.
async (args) => { try { return await callRemoteTool("get_generation_status", args); } catch (error) { return normalizeError(error); } }, - src/index.js:22-43 (helper)The callRemoteTool helper that creates an MCP client, connects to the remote Alai endpoint, and calls the named tool with provided arguments.
async function callRemoteTool(name, args) { const client = new Client( { name: "alai-mcp-wrapper", version: "1.0.2" }, { capabilities: {} }, ); const transport = new StreamableHTTPClientTransport(new URL(REMOTE_MCP_URL), { requestInit: { headers: createRemoteHeaders(), }, }); try { await client.connect(transport); return await client.callTool({ name, arguments: args, }); } finally { await transport.close().catch(() => {}); await client.close().catch(() => {}); } } - src/index.js:51-72 (helper)The normalizeError helper that formats upstream errors into a standard MCP error response.
function normalizeError(error) { const message = error instanceof Error ? error.message : "Unknown upstream error"; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Alai upstream request failed: ${message}`, }, ...(authGuidance() ? [ { type: "text", text: authGuidance(), }, ] : []), ], isError: true, }; }
