Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that fetches region information via makeRequest and returns it as a JSON-formatted text content block.
    async (args) => {
      const result = await makeRequest(`/ref/region/info/${args.region_code}`, {
        regionNameFormat: args.region_name_format,
        delim: args.delim,
      });
      return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] };
    }
  • Zod schema defining input parameters for the get_region_info tool: region_code (required), region_name_format (optional enum), delim (optional string).
    {
      region_code: z.string().describe("Country, subnational1, subnational2, or location code"),
      region_name_format: z.enum(["detailed", "detailednoqual", "full", "namequal", "nameonly", "revdetailed"]).default("full").describe("Name format"),
      delim: z.string().default(", ").describe("Delimiter for name elements"),
    },
