Implementation Reference

  • The `get_area_codes` tool is registered using the `@mcp.tool` decorator and implemented as an asynchronous function. It retrieves area codes from the `KoreaTourismApiClient` and formats the response.
    @mcp.tool
    async def get_area_codes(
        parent_area_code: str | None = None,
        language: str | None = None,
        page: int = 1,
        rows: int = 100,
    ) -> dict:
