Implementation Reference

• src/gradle_mcp/server.py:232-254 (handler)

  The primary handler function for the 'list_projects' MCP tool. It is registered via the @mcp.tool() decorator, fetches projects using GradleWrapper, and returns a list of ProjectInfo objects.

  @mcp.tool()
  async def list_projects(ctx: Context) -> list[ProjectInfo]:
      """List all Gradle projects in the workspace.
  
      Returns:
          List of Gradle projects.
      """
      try:
          await ctx.info("Listing all Gradle projects")
          gradle = _get_gradle_wrapper(ctx)
          projects = gradle.list_projects()
          await ctx.info(f"Found {len(projects)} projects: {', '.join(p.name for p in projects)}")
          return [
              ProjectInfo(
                  name=p.name,

          raise ValueError(f"Failed to list projects: {str(e)}") from e

• src/gradle_mcp/server.py:144-150 (schema)

  Pydantic BaseModel defining the output schema for the list_projects tool, specifying fields for project name, path, and optional description.

  class ProjectInfo(BaseModel):

      description: str | None = None

• src/gradle_mcp/gradle.py:726-780 (helper)

  Core helper method in GradleWrapper class that executes 'gradlew projects -q', parses the output, and constructs GradleProject objects used by the tool handler.

      Returns:
