case "make_http_request": { const response = await makeRequest( args.url, args.type, args.headers, args.body ); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response, null, 2) }], isError: false, }; } - index.ts:43-68 (schema)Input schema definition for the make_http_request tool, defining parameters like type, url, headers, body.
{ name: "make_http_request", description: "Make an HTTP request with curl", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { type: { type: "string", description: "Type of the request. GET, POST, PUT, DELETE", }, url: { type: "string", description: "Url to make the request to", }, headers: { type: "object", description: "Headers to include in the request", }, body: { type: "object", description: "Body to include in the request", }, }, required: ["type", "url", "headers", "body"], }, }, - index.ts:278-280 (registration)Registration of the tools list (TOOLS array including make_http_request) for ListToolsRequestSchema.
server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: TOOLS, })); - utilities.ts:4-33 (helper)The makeRequest helper function that implements the core HTTP request logic using fetch.
export async function makeRequest( url: string, type: string, headers: Record<string, string>, body: any ) { try { const response = await fetch(url, { method: type, headers, body: body && (type === "POST" || type === "PUT") ? JSON.stringify(body) : undefined, }); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`HTTP error! status: ${response.status}`); } return { status: response.status, data: await response.text(), headers: Object.fromEntries(response.headers), }; } catch (error) { console.error("Error making request:", error); throw error; } }
