case "create_issue": { const args = issues.CreateIssueSchema.parse(request.params.arguments); const { owner, repo, ...options } = args; const issue = await issues.createIssue(owner, repo, options); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(issue, null, 2) }], }; } - index.ts:96-99 (registration)Tool registration in the ListToolsRequestHandler response array, defining name, description, and input JSON schema.

export const CreateIssueSchema = z.object({ owner: z.string(), repo: z.string(), ...CreateIssueOptionsSchema.shape, }); - operations/issues.ts:18-24 (schema)Zod schema defining the options for creating an issue (title, body, assignees, etc.). Used in CreateIssueSchema.
export const CreateIssueOptionsSchema = z.object({ title: z.string(), body: z.string().optional(), assignees: z.array(z.string()).optional(), milestone: z.number().optional(), labels: z.array(z.string()).optional(), });
