Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:267-294 (handler)

  Handler function that executes the travel_times tool by making an API request to LTA's estimated travel times endpoint and returning the response data or handling errors.

  case "travel_times": {
    try {
      const response = await axios.get('https://datamall2.mytransport.sg/ltaodataservice/EstTravelTimes', {
        headers: {
          'AccountKey': process.env.LTA_API_KEY!,
          'accept': 'application/json'
        }
      });
      
      return {
        content: [{
          type: "text",
          text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2)
        }]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
        return {
          content: [{
            type: "text",
            text: `LTA API error: ${error.response?.data?.Message ?? error.message}`
          }],
          isError: true
        };
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:98-105 (schema)

  Tool schema definition including name, description, and input schema (no required parameters) returned by the ListTools handler.

  {
    name: "travel_times",
    description: "Get estimated travel times on expressway segments. Updates every 5 minutes.",
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {} // No parameters needed
    }
  },

• src/index.ts:47-130 (registration)

  The tool is registered by being included in the tools list returned by the ListToolsRequestSchema handler.

  this.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
    return {
      tools: [{
