Implementation Reference

  • Main execution handler for the 'get-crypto-price' tool. Parses input using Zod schema, fetches cryptocurrency assets from CoinCap service, finds the matching asset, and returns formatted price information.
    export async function handleGetPrice(args: unknown) {
      const { symbol } = GetPriceArgumentsSchema.parse(args);
      const upperSymbol = symbol.toUpperCase();
    
      const assetsData = await getAssets();
      if (!assetsData) {
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: "Failed to retrieve cryptocurrency data" }],
        };
      }
    
      const asset = assetsData.data.find(
        (a: { symbol: string; }) => a.symbol.toUpperCase() === upperSymbol
      );
    
      if (!asset) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Could not find cryptocurrency with symbol ${upperSymbol}`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: formatPriceInfo(asset) }],
      };
    }
  • Zod schema used in the handler for validating the tool's input argument 'symbol'.
    export const GetPriceArgumentsSchema = z.object({
      symbol: z.string().min(1),
    });
  • src/index.ts:31-44 (registration)

      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          symbol: {
            type: "string",
            description: "Cryptocurrency symbol (e.g., BTC, ETH)",
          },
        },
        required: ["symbol"],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:93-94 (registration)
