Implementation Reference
- dracor_mcp_fastmcp.py:406-441 (handler)The complete implementation of the 'compare_plays' tool, including registration via the @mcp.tool() decorator and the handler function that fetches play metadata and metrics for two specified plays from the DraCor API and compiles them into a comparison structure. The input schema is defined by the function parameters.
