Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:729-744 (handler)The handler function that executes the create_task tool. It extracts project_id and task data from params, makes a POST request to the Zoho Projects API to create the task, and returns a formatted MCP response with the created task details.
private async createTask(params: any) { const { project_id, ...taskData } = params; const data = await this.makeRequest( `/portal/${this.config.portalId}/projects/${project_id}/tasks`, "POST", taskData ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Task created successfully:\n${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`, }, ], }; } - src/index.ts:316-342 (schema)The input schema definition for the create_task tool, defining parameters like project_id, name, description, priority, dates, and assignee.
{ name: "create_task", description: "Create a new task in a project", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { project_id: { type: "string", description: "Project ID" }, name: { type: "string", description: "Task name" }, description: { type: "string", description: "Task description" }, priority: { type: "string", description: "Task priority", enum: ["none", "low", "medium", "high"], }, start_date: { type: "string", description: "Start date (YYYY-MM-DD)", }, end_date: { type: "string", description: "End date (YYYY-MM-DD)" }, assignee_zpuid: { type: "string", description: "Assignee user ZPUID", }, }, required: ["project_id", "name"], }, }, - src/index.ts:576-577 (registration)The switch case registration that dispatches calls to the createTask handler.
case "create_task": return await this.createTask(params); - src/http-server.ts:732-747 (handler)Duplicate handler function for the create_task tool in the HTTP server version, identical implementation to src/index.ts.
private async createTask(params: any) { const { project_id, ...taskData } = params; const data = await this.makeRequest( `/portal/${this.config.portalId}/projects/${project_id}/tasks`, "POST", taskData ); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Task created successfully:\n${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`, }, ], }; }
