case "create_deck": { const client = getClient(); const deckName = String(toolArgs.deckName); if (!deckName) { throw new Error( "deckName parameter is required for create_deck tool." ); } await client.deck.createDeck({ deck: deckName }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Successfully created deck: ${deckName}` }, ], }; } - src/tool-manager.ts:386-398 (schema)The tool schema definition for 'create_deck', including name, description, and inputSchema requiring a 'deckName' string.
name: "create_deck", description: "Create a new Anki deck.", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { deckName: { type: "string", description: "The name of the deck to create.", }, }, required: ["deckName"], }, }, - src/tool-manager.ts:694-700 (registration)Registration of the tool list handler, which includes the 'create_deck' tool from getToolDefinitions() in the response to ListToolsRequest.
server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => { console.error( "[MCP Anki Client - tool-manager.ts] Received ListToolsRequest from client." ); const tools = [...getToolDefinitions(), getDeckModelInfoToolDefinition]; return { tools: tools }; });
