ShipBob API MCP Server

Implementation Reference

• src/tools/inventory-tools.js:37-51 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'get_product_inventory' tool. It fetches inventory data for a specific product using shipbobClient and returns formatted JSON or an error response.

  handler: async ({ productId }) => {
    try {
      const inventory = await shipbobClient.getInventoryByProduct(productId);
      return {
        content: [{ 
          type: "text", 
          text: JSON.stringify(inventory, null, 2)
        }]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error retrieving product inventory: ${error.message}` }],
        isError: true
      };
    }

• src/tools/inventory-tools.js:34-36 (schema)

  Input schema for the tool using Zod, requiring a productId string.

  schema: {
    productId: z.string().describe("The ID of the product to check inventory for")
  },

• src/server.js:52-52 (registration)

  Registers the inventoryTools array (which includes get_product_inventory) with the MCP server using the generic registerTools function.

  registerTools(inventoryTools);

• src/server.js:3-6 (registration)

  Imports inventoryTools from tools/index.js, which re-exports from inventory-tools.js.

  import { 
    productTools, 
    orderTools, 
    inventoryTools, 

• src/tools/index.js:3-3 (registration)

  Re-exports inventoryTools for convenient import in server.js.
