Implementation Reference
- The handler function that retrieves the block by number using publicClient.getBlock, formats key block details into a text response, and handles errors.
async (args) => { try { const block = await publicClient.getBlock({ blockNumber: BigInt(args.number) }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Block Number: ${block.number} Hash: ${block.hash} Timestamp: ${block.timestamp} Transaction Count: ${block.transactions.length} Parent Hash: ${block.parentHash} Gas Used: ${block.gasUsed} Gas Limit: ${block.gasLimit}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Failed to retrieve the block. Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`, }, ], }; } } - Input schema defining the 'number' parameter as a string using Zod.
{ "number": z.string().describe("The block number to retrieve"), }, - src/tools/block/get-block-by-number.ts:12-46 (registration)The provider function that registers the 'get-block-by-number' tool on the MCP server, including name, description, schema, and handler.
