Implementation Reference

  • index.ts:18-31 (handler)
    The asynchronous handler function for the 'sample-tool' that takes an input string, processes it by prefixing 'Processed: ', and returns it as text content.
    async ({ input }) => {
      // Process the input
      const output = `Processed: ${input}`;
      
      // Return the result
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: output,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • The input schema for the 'sample-tool' defined using Zod, specifying a single string input parameter.
    {
      input: z.string().describe("Input parameter for the sample tool"),
    },
  • index.ts:12-32 (registration)
    The registration of the 'sample-tool' on the MCP server, including name, description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool(
      "sample-tool",
      "A sample tool for demonstration purposes",
      {
        input: z.string().describe("Input parameter for the sample tool"),
      },
      async ({ input }) => {
        // Process the input
        const output = `Processed: ${input}`;
        
        // Return the result
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: output,
            },
