Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/artists.ts:18-21 (handler)The core implementation of the 'get_artist' tool. Extracts the Spotify artist ID from the input and makes an API request to retrieve the artist's catalog information.
async getArtist(args: ArtistArgs) { const artistId = this.extractArtistId(args.id); return this.api.makeRequest(`/artists/${artistId}`); } - src/types/artists.ts:3-5 (schema)TypeScript interface defining the input arguments for the get_artist tool, consisting of the required 'id' field.
export interface ArtistArgs { id: string; } - src/index.ts:141-154 (registration)Registration of the 'get_artist' tool in the ListTools response, providing name, description, and input schema specification.
{ name: 'get_artist', description: 'Get Spotify catalog information for an artist', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { id: { type: 'string', description: 'The Spotify ID or URI for the artist' } }, required: ['id'] }, }, - src/index.ts:710-716 (registration)Dispatch logic in the CallToolRequest handler that validates arguments and delegates to the ArtistsHandler.getArtist method.
case 'get_artist': { const args = this.validateArgs<ArtistArgs>(request.params.arguments, ['id']); const result = await this.artistsHandler.getArtist(args); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }], }; } - src/handlers/artists.ts:14-16 (helper)Helper method used by getArtist to normalize Spotify artist IDs or URIs to plain IDs.
