async ({ ticketId, comment }: { ticketId: string; comment: JiraComment }) => { const configError = validateJiraConfig(); if (configError) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Configuration error: ${configError}` }], }; } try { await jira.issueComments.addComment({ issueIdOrKey: ticketId, comment: comment.body, }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Added comment to ${ticketId}` }], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Failed to add comment: ${(error as Error).message}` }], }; } } - src/server.ts:57-59 (schema)Zod schema defining the structure of the comment input (body: string) for the add_comment tool.
const CommentSchema = z.object({ body: z.string().describe("The comment text"), }); - src/server.ts:40-42 (schema)TypeScript interface for JiraComment used in the add_comment tool input parameters.
interface JiraComment { body: string; } - src/server.ts:313-343 (registration)Registration of the 'add_comment' MCP tool via server.tool(), specifying name, description, input schema, and handler function.
