Implementation Reference

  • server.py:19-23 (handler)
    The primary handler for the 'roll_dice' MCP tool. Registered via @mcp.tool() decorator. It instantiates DiceRoller with inputs and returns its string representation containing the roll results.
    @mcp.tool()
    def roll_dice(notation: str, num_rolls: int = 1) -> str:
        """Roll the dice with the given notation"""
        roller = DiceRoller(notation, num_rolls)
        return str(roller)
  • The __str__ method of DiceRoller class, which generates the formatted output string for single or multiple rolls by calling roll_dice or roll_multiple.
    def __str__(self):
        if self.num_rolls == 1:
            rolls, kept_rolls = self.roll_dice()
            return f"ROLLS: {', '.join(map(str, rolls))} -> RETURNS: {sum(kept_rolls)}"
        else:
            results = self.roll_multiple()
            result_strs = []
            for i, result in enumerate(results, 1):
                result_strs.append(f"Roll {i}: ROLLS: {', '.join(map(str, result['rolls']))} -> RETURNS: {result['total']}")
            return "\n".join(result_strs)
  • Core helper method in DiceRoller that parses dice notation (e.g., 2d20k1), rolls the dice using random.randint, sorts descending, and returns all rolls and kept rolls.
    def roll_dice(self):
        match = self.dice_pattern.match(self.notation)
        if not match:
            raise ValueError("Invalid dice notation")
    
        num_dice = int(match.group(1))
        dice_sides = int(match.group(2))
        keep = int(match.group(4)) if match.group(4) else num_dice
    
        rolls = [random.randint(1, dice_sides) for _ in range(num_dice)]
        rolls.sort(reverse=True)
        kept_rolls = rolls[:keep]
    
        return rolls, kept_rolls
  • Helper method to perform multiple rolls when num_rolls > 1, aggregating results with totals.
    def roll_multiple(self):
        """Roll the dice multiple times according to num_rolls"""
        results = []
        for _ in range(self.num_rolls):
            rolls, kept_rolls = self.roll_dice()
            results.append({
                "rolls": rolls,
                "kept": kept_rolls,
                "total": sum(kept_rolls)
            })
        return results
  • server.py:19-19 (registration)
    The @mcp.tool() decorator registers the roll_dice function as an MCP tool.
    @mcp.tool()
