Implementation Reference
- src/tools.ts:219-260 (handler)The handler function that establishes connection to the Scenic TCP server: sets port, checks if server is running, sends 'hello' command if connected, or returns waiting message.
async function handleConnectScenic(args: any) { try { const { port = 9999 } = args; conn.setCurrentPort(port); const isRunning = await conn.checkTCPServer(port); if (!isRunning) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `No Scenic TCP server found on port ${port}.\n\nStatus: Waiting for connection\n\nTo use Scenic MCP, your Scenic application needs to include the ScenicMcp.Server module and start it on the specified port. The MCP server will continue monitoring for the connection.`, }, ], isError: false, }; } const response = await conn.sendToElixir('hello'); const data = JSON.parse(response); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Successfully connected to Scenic application!\n\nServer info:\n${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error connecting to Scenic application: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/tools.ts:23-36 (schema)Tool schema definition: name, description, and inputSchema specifying optional 'port' parameter (default 9999).
{ name: 'connect_scenic', description: 'CONNECTION SETUP: Establish the connection to the ScenicMCP GenServer running inside our Scenic app. Use this first before other interaction tools.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { port: { type: 'number', description: 'TCP port (default: 9999)', default: 9999, }, }, }, }, - src/tools.ts:190-191 (registration)Handler registration in the tool router switch statement within handleToolCall function.
