Implementation Reference

  • server.py:18-23 (handler)
    The MCP tool handler for 'roll_dice', registered via @mcp.tool(). It creates a DiceRoller instance with the provided notation and number of rolls, then returns its string representation which contains the formatted 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)
  • Helper method in DiceRoller class that parses the dice notation (supporting 'num_dice d sides k keep'), rolls the dice randomly, sorts descending, selects the highest 'keep' rolls, 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
  • The __str__ method of DiceRoller, invoked by the handler, which calls roll_dice() (or roll_multiple()) to perform rolling and formats the results into the tool's output string, handling single or multiple rolls.
    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)
  • DiceRoller class initialization, storing notation and num_rolls, and compiling regex for parsing dice notation.
    class DiceRoller:
        def __init__(self, notation, num_rolls=1):
            self.notation = notation
            self.num_rolls = num_rolls
            self.dice_pattern = re.compile(r"(\d+)d(\d+)(k(\d+))?")
