Implementation Reference

  • Handler function for the "geocode" tool (and search_places), which fetches data from the swisstopo API.
    export async function handleGeodata(name: string, args: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<string> {
      switch (name) {
        case "geocode":
        case "search_places": {
          const url = buildUrl(`${BASE}/rest/services/api/SearchServer`, {
            searchText: args.address as string ?? args.query as string,
            type: args.type as string ?? "locations",
            sr: 4326,
            limit: 10,
          });
          const data = await fetchJSON<SearchResponse>(url);
          return JSON.stringify({
            count: data.results.length,
            results: data.results.map(slimSearchResult),
          });
        }
  • Tool definition and input schema for the "geocode" tool.
    export const geodataTools = [
      {
        name: "geocode",
        description: "Convert a Swiss address or place name to coordinates (swisstopo)",
        inputSchema: {
          type: "object",
          required: ["address"],
          properties: {
            address: { type: "string", description: "Swiss address or place name" },
          },
        },
      },
