Implementation Reference

• operations/projects.ts:449-468 (handler)

  The core handler function that executes the delete_card tool by sending a DELETE request to the GitHub API endpoint for project cards.

  export async function deleteCard(cardId: number) {
      try {
          const url = `https://api.github.com/projects/columns/cards/${cardId}`;
  
          await githubRequest(url, {
              method: 'DELETE',
              headers: {
                  'Accept': 'application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json'
              }
          });
  
          return { success: true };
      } catch (error) {
          if (error instanceof GitHubError) {
              throw error;
          }
  
          throw new GitHubError(`Failed to delete card: ${(error as Error).message}`, 500, { error: (error as Error).message });
      }
  }

• operations/projects.ts:89-91 (schema)

  Zod schema defining the input parameters for the delete_card tool (card_id: number).

  export const DeleteCardSchema = z.object({
      card_id: z.number().describe("The unique identifier of the card"),
  });

• index.ts:260-264 (registration)

  Tool registration in the ListTools response, defining name, description, and input schema for delete_card.

  {
    name: "delete_card",
    description: "Delete a card from a project",
    inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(projects.DeleteCardSchema),
  },

• index.ts:714-720 (handler)

  Dispatcher handler in CallToolRequestHandler that parses arguments and invokes the deleteCard function.

  case "delete_card": {
    const args = projects.DeleteCardSchema.parse(request.params.arguments);
    const result = await projects.deleteCard(args.card_id);
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }],
    };
  }
