Goal Story MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:169-186 (handler)

  The handler implementation registered via server.tool() for 'goalstory_read_self_user'. It performs a GET request to the /users endpoint using the doRequest helper and returns the user's profile data as formatted JSON text.

  server.tool(
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.name,
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.description,
    READ_SELF_USER_TOOL.inputSchema.shape,
    async (args) => {
      const url = `${GOALSTORY_API_BASE_URL}/users`;
      const result = await doRequest(url, "GET");
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `User data:\n${JSON.stringify(result, null, 2)}`,
          },
        ],
        isError: false,
      };
    },
  );

• src/tools.ts:19-24 (schema)

  Tool definition object providing the name, description, and Zod input schema (empty object since no params) used in registration.

  export const READ_SELF_USER_TOOL = {
    name: "goalstory_read_self_user",
    description:
      "Get the user's profile data including their preferences, belief systems, and past goal history to enable personalized goal storying and context-aware discussions.",
    inputSchema: z.object({}),
  };

• src/types.ts:5-5 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the empty input type for the tool.

  export interface GoalstoryReadSelfUserInput {}

• src/index.ts:62-122 (helper)

  Shared utility function for making authenticated HTTP requests to the GoalStory API, used by all tools including this one.

  async function doRequest<T = any>(

    body?: unknown,
  ): Promise<T> {

    console.error("Body:", body ? JSON.stringify(body) : "none");
  
    try {
      const response = await axios({
        url,
        method,
        headers: {
          "Content-Type": "application/json",
          Authorization: `Bearer ${GOALSTORY_API_TOKEN}`,
        },
        data: body,
        timeout: 10000, // 10 second timeout
        validateStatus: function (status) {
          return status >= 200 && status < 500; // Accept all status codes less than 500
        },
      });
      console.error("Response received:", response.status);
      return response.data as T;
    } catch (err) {
      console.error("Request failed with error:", err);
  
      if (axios.isAxiosError(err)) {
        if (err.code === "ECONNABORTED") {
          throw new Error(
            `Request timed out after 10 seconds. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}`,
          );
        }
        if (err.response) {
          // The request was made and the server responded with a status code
          // that falls out of the range of 2xx
          throw new Error(
            `HTTP Error ${
              err.response.status
            }. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}, Body: ${JSON.stringify(
              body,
            )}. Error text: ${JSON.stringify(err.response.data)}`,
          );
        } else if (err.request) {
          // The request was made but no response was received
          throw new Error(
            `No response received from server. URL: ${url}, Method: ${method}`,
          );
        } else {
          // Something happened in setting up the request that triggered an Error
          throw new Error(`Request setup failed: ${err.message}`);
        }
      } else {

        throw new Error(
          `Unexpected error: ${err instanceof Error ? err.message : String(err)}`,
        );
      }
