- src/tools/board/get.ts:8-28 (handler)Core handler function that executes the get_boards tool logic: initializes connection, fetches boards via Azure DevOps Work API, and formats response.
export async function getBoards(args: GetBoardsArgs, config: AzureDevOpsConfig) { AzureDevOpsConnection.initialize(config); const connection = AzureDevOpsConnection.getInstance(); const workApi = await connection.getWorkApi(); const teamContext = { project: config.project, team: args.team || `${config.project} Team`, }; const boards = await workApi.getBoards(teamContext); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(boards, null, 2), }, ], }; } - src/tools/board/get.ts:4-6 (schema)Type definition for input arguments to the get_boards handler.
interface GetBoardsArgs { team?: string; } - src/tools/board/index.ts:4-18 (schema)MCP tool definition schema for get_boards, including name, description, and input schema.
const definitions = [ { name: 'get_boards', description: 'List available boards in the project', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { team: { type: 'string', description: 'Team name (optional)', }, }, }, }, ]; - src/tools/board/index.ts:20-25 (registration)Registers the getBoards handler within boardTools.initialize, binding config, and exports definitions.
export const boardTools = { initialize: (config: AzureDevOpsConfig) => ({ getBoards: (args: any) => getBoards(args, config), definitions, }), definitions, - src/index.ts:134-136 (registration)Main server request handler dispatches 'get_boards' tool calls to the bound handler.
