Implementation Reference
- mcp-server.js:696-748 (handler)Executes the tool logic by fetching selection data from the local HTTP API endpoint at http://localhost:3001/api/selection, processes the response, handles errors, and returns formatted content about selected clips or time range.
async getSelectionInfo() { try { const response = await fetch('http://localhost:3001/api/selection'); if (!response.ok) throw new Error(`HTTP ${response.status}: ${response.statusText}`); const data = await response.json(); if (data.error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `⚠️ ${data.error}`, }, ], }; } if (data.selection_type === 'none') { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `🎯 **Selection Info**\n\nNo clips or time range currently selected.`, }, ], }; } const selectedClips = data.selected_clips.map(clip => `• **${clip.clip_name}** (${clip.track_type}${clip.track_number})` ).join('\n'); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `🎯 **Selection Info**\n\n**Type:** ${data.selection_type}\n**Selected Clips:**\n${selectedClips}\n\n**Time Range:** ${data.selection_in} → ${data.selection_out}\n**Duration:** ${data.selection_duration}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `❌ **Failed to get selection info**\n\nError: ${error.message}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } } - mcp-server.js:249-250 (registration)In the tool call request handler switch statement, routes calls to the getSelectionInfo handler method.
case 'get_selection_info': return await this.getSelectionInfo(); - mcp-server.js:119-127 (registration)Registers the tool in the list of available tools returned by ListToolsRequestHandler, including name, description, and empty input schema.
{ name: "get_selection_info", description: "Get information about currently selected clips or time range", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, required: [] } }, - mcp-server.js:122-126 (schema)Defines the input schema for the tool, which requires no parameters.
