    "Get highlight metrics for a WordPress site from the last seven days",
    {
      siteUrl: z.string().url().describe("WordPress site URL"),
      username: z.string().describe("WordPress username"),

      siteId: z.number().describe("WordPress site ID"),
    },
    async ({ siteUrl, username, password, siteId }) => {
      try {
        const highlights = await makeWPRequest<WPStatsHighlights>({
          siteUrl,
          endpoint: `sites/${siteId}/stats/highlights`,
          auth: { username, password }
        });

        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error retrieving stats highlights: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  );

• src/index.ts:1127-1164 (handler)

  Handler function that makes API request to Jetpack stats endpoint `/sites/{siteId}/stats/highlights`, formats the WPStatsHighlights data, and returns formatted text response.

    async ({ siteUrl, username, password, siteId }) => {
      try {
        const highlights = await makeWPRequest<WPStatsHighlights>({
          siteUrl,
          endpoint: `sites/${siteId}/stats/highlights`,
          auth: { username, password }
        });
        
        const highlightsText = `
  Stats Highlights for site #${siteId}:
  Period: ${highlights.period || "Last 7 days"}
  Views: ${highlights.views || 0}
  Visitors: ${highlights.visitors || 0}
  Likes: ${highlights.likes || 0}
  Comments: ${highlights.comments || 0}
  Followers: ${highlights.followers || 0}
  Posts: ${highlights.posts || 0}
        `.trim();
        
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: highlightsText,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error retrieving stats highlights: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }

• src/index.ts:1121-1126 (schema)

  Zod input schema defining parameters for the tool.

  {
    siteUrl: z.string().url().describe("WordPress site URL"),
    username: z.string().describe("WordPress username"),
    password: z.string().describe("WordPress application password"),
    siteId: z.number().describe("WordPress site ID"),
  },

• src/index.ts:87-95 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the structure of stats highlights response data.

  interface WPStatsHighlights {
    views: number;
    visitors: number;
    likes: number;
    comments: number;
    followers: number;
    posts: number;
    period: string;
  }

• src/index.ts:158-194 (helper)

  Helper function used by the tool to make authenticated requests to WordPress REST API endpoints.

  async function makeWPRequest<T>({
    siteUrl, 
    endpoint,
    method = 'GET',
    auth,
    data = null,
    params = null
  }: {
    siteUrl: string;
    endpoint: string;
    method?: 'GET' | 'POST' | 'PUT' | 'DELETE';
    auth: { username: string; password: string };
    data?: any;
    params?: any;
  }): Promise<T> {
    const authString = Buffer.from(`${auth.username}:${auth.password}`).toString('base64');
    
    try {
      const response = await axios({
        method,
        url: `${siteUrl}/wp-json/wp/v2/${endpoint}`,
        headers: {
          'Authorization': `Basic ${authString}`,
          'Content-Type': 'application/json',
        },
        data: data,
        params: params
      });
      
      return response.data as T;
    } catch (error) {
      if (axios.isAxiosError(error) && error.response) {
        throw new Error(`WordPress API error: ${error.response.data?.message || error.message}`);
      }
      throw error;
    }
  }
