Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/artists.ts:57-60 (handler)The core handler function for the 'get_artist_related_artists' tool. It extracts the Spotify artist ID from the provided arguments and calls the Spotify API endpoint `/artists/{id}/related-artists` to fetch related artists.
async getArtistRelatedArtists(args: ArtistRelatedArtistsArgs) { const artistId = this.extractArtistId(args.id); return this.api.makeRequest(`/artists/${artistId}/related-artists`); } - src/types/artists.ts:3-9 (schema)TypeScript interface definitions for the tool's input arguments. ArtistRelatedArtistsArgs extends ArtistArgs, which requires a single 'id' string (Spotify artist ID or URI).
export interface ArtistArgs { id: string; } export interface ArtistTopTracksArgs extends ArtistArgs, MarketParams {} export interface ArtistRelatedArtistsArgs extends ArtistArgs {} - src/index.ts:189-202 (registration)Tool registration in the MCP server's listTools handler, including name, description, and input schema validation.

case 'get_artist_related_artists': { const args = this.validateArgs<ArtistRelatedArtistsArgs>(request.params.arguments, ['id']); const result = await this.artistsHandler.getArtistRelatedArtists(args); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }], }; } - src/handlers/artists.ts:14-16 (helper)Helper method used by the handler to normalize Spotify artist IDs or URIs to plain IDs.
