Implementation Reference
- src/gamemaster_mcp/main.py:121-163 (handler)The core handler function for the 'create_character' tool. It is registered via the @mcp.tool decorator. The function parameters with Annotated[Field] define the input schema. The logic constructs a Character model instance using provided parameters and persists it via storage.add_character.
