Implementation Reference
- operations/projects.ts:418-446 (handler)The core handler function that executes the move_card tool logic by making a POST request to GitHub's API to move the project card.
export async function moveCard(cardId: number, position: string, columnId?: number) { try { const url = `https://api.github.com/projects/columns/cards/${cardId}/moves`; const payload: Record<string, any> = { position: position }; if (columnId) { payload.column_id = columnId; } await githubRequest(url, { method: 'POST', body: payload, headers: { 'Accept': 'application/vnd.github.inertia-preview+json' } }); return { success: true }; } catch (error) { if (error instanceof GitHubError) { throw error; } throw new GitHubError(`Failed to move card: ${(error as Error).message}`, 500, { error: (error as Error).message }); } } - operations/projects.ts:82-86 (schema)Zod input schema for the move_card tool defining parameters: card_id, position, and optional column_id.
export const MoveCardSchema = z.object({ card_id: z.number().describe("The unique identifier of the card"), position: z.enum(["top", "bottom"]).or(z.string().regex(/^after:\d+$/)).describe("The position of the card (top, bottom, or after:<card_id>)"), column_id: z.number().optional().describe("The column ID to move the card to"), }); - index.ts:255-259 (registration)Registration of the move_card tool in the MCP server's list of tools, including name, description, and input schema reference.
{ name: "move_card", description: "Move a card to a different position or column", inputSchema: zodToJsonSchema(projects.MoveCardSchema), }, - index.ts:702-712 (handler)Dispatcher case in the central CallToolRequest handler that parses arguments and calls the moveCard function.
case "move_card": { const args = projects.MoveCardSchema.parse(request.params.arguments); const result = await projects.moveCard( args.card_id, args.position, args.column_id ); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }], }; }
