Implementation Reference
- src/tools.ts:532-550 (handler)The execute handler function for the getMaxItemId tool. It calls fetchFromAPI on the /maxitem endpoint to retrieve the highest item ID from Hacker News and returns a formatted JSON response containing the maxItemId.
execute: async (args: any) => { const maxId = await fetchFromAPI<number>("/maxitem"); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { message: "Current maximum item ID", maxItemId: maxId, }, null, 2 ), }, ], }; }, - src/tools.ts:531-531 (schema)The input schema for the getMaxItemId tool, defining an empty object as it requires no input parameters.
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {} }, - src/tools.ts:528-551 (registration)The full tool object definition for getMaxItemId, including name, description, schema, and handler, registered in the exported tools array used by the MCP server.
{ name: "getMaxItemId", description: "Get the current maximum item ID", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {} }, execute: async (args: any) => { const maxId = await fetchFromAPI<number>("/maxitem"); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { message: "Current maximum item ID", maxItemId: maxId, }, null, 2 ), }, ], }; }, }, - src/index.ts:52-64 (registration)MCP server implementation for handling 'tools/call' requests by finding the tool by name in the tools array and invoking its execute method.
if (json.method === "tools/call") { const tool = tools.find((tool) => tool.name === json.params.name); if (tool) { const toolResponse = await tool.execute(json.params.arguments); sendResponse(json.id, toolResponse); } else { sendResponse(json.id, { error: { code: -32602, message: `MCP error -32602: Tool ${json.params.name} not found`, }, }); }
