Implementation Reference
- src/geoserver_mcp/main.py:198-222 (handler)The handler function for the 'list_layers' MCP tool. It connects to GeoServer via the Geoserver client, lists layers (optionally filtered by workspace), and returns a list of layer dictionaries. The @mcp.tool() decorator registers it as an MCP tool.
