Implementation Reference

• mcp-server.js:567-617 (handler)

  The handler function for 'get_bird_report' that takes scientific_name, fetches data from the bird API, and returns a comprehensive formatted Markdown report including taxonomy, conservation status, distribution, and related species.

    async handleGetBirdReport(args) {
      const { scientific_name } = args;
      const endpoint = `/bird/${encodeURIComponent(scientific_name)}`;
      const response = await this.makeAPIRequest(endpoint);
  
      const bird = response.data.bird;
      const related = response.data.relatedInFamily;
  
      return {
        content: [
          {

• mcp-server.js:220-229 (schema)

  Input schema definition for the 'get_bird_report' tool, requiring a 'scientific_name' string parameter.

  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      scientific_name: {
        type: 'string',
        description: 'Scientific name of the bird species (e.g., "Aquila chrysaetos")',
      },
    },
    required: ['scientific_name'],
  },

• mcp-server.js:217-230 (registration)

  Registration of the 'get_bird_report' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.

  {
    name: 'get_bird_report',
    description: 'Get a detailed report for a specific bird species including related species and comprehensive information.',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        scientific_name: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Scientific name of the bird species (e.g., "Aquila chrysaetos")',
        },
      },
      required: ['scientific_name'],
    },
  },

• mcp-server.js:312-313 (registration)
