Implementation Reference

• mcp_hitchcode/server.py:187-210 (handler)

  The core handler function that executes the tool logic by rendering the 'init' prompt template and returning it as TextContent.

  async def apply_prompt_initial(
      objective: str,
      specific_instructions: str = "",
      version: str = "latest",
  ) -> list[types.TextContent]:
      """
      Provides an initial prompt template for starting a new coding objective.
  
      Args:
          objective: A description of the overall objective.
          specific_instructions: Optional specific instructions to include in the prompt.
          version: The version of the prompt template to use. Defaults to "latest".
  
      Returns:
          A list containing a TextContent object with the prompt.
      """
      # Render the prompt template with the objective and specific instructions
      response_text = render_prompt_template(
          "init",
          version_str=version,
          objective=objective,
          specific_instructions=specific_instructions,
      )
      return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=response_text)]

• mcp_hitchcode/server.py:637-658 (schema)

  The input schema definition for the apply_prompt_initial tool registered in list_tools().

  types.Tool(
      name="apply_prompt_initial",
      description="Provides an initial prompt template for starting a new project",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "required": ["objective"],
          "properties": {

                  "type": "string",
                  "description": "The version of the prompt template to use (e.g., '1.0.0', '1.1.0', or 'latest')",
              },
          },
      },
  ),

• mcp_hitchcode/server.py:453-466 (registration)

  The registration and dispatch logic in the call_tool handler that invokes apply_prompt_initial upon matching the tool name.

  elif name == "apply_prompt_initial":
      if "objective" not in arguments:
          return [
              types.TextContent(
                  type="text", text="Error: Missing required argument 'objective'"
              )
          ]
      version = arguments.get("version", "latest")
      specific_instructions = arguments.get("specific_instructions", "")
      return await apply_prompt_initial(
          objective=arguments["objective"],
          specific_instructions=specific_instructions,
          version=version,
      )

• mcp_hitchcode/templates/template_loader.py:278-342 (helper)

  Supporting utility function called by the handler to dynamically load and render the versioned 'init' prompt template using Jinja2.
