Implementation Reference

  • The core handler logic for the 'get_event' tool within a switch statement on tool name. It parses the event_key argument using Zod, makes an API request to TBA for the event data, validates the response with EventSchema, and returns a text content block with the JSON-stringified event object.
    case 'get_event': {
      const { event_key } = z.object({ event_key: EventKeySchema }).parse(args);
      const data = await makeApiRequest(`/event/${event_key}`);
      const event = EventSchema.parse(data);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(event, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
  • src/tools.ts:98-110 (registration)
    The MCP tool registration definition for 'get_event' in the exported tools array, specifying the tool name, description, and input schema for event_key.
    {
      name: 'get_event',
      description: 'Get detailed information about a specific event',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          event_key: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Event key (e.g., 2023casj)',
          },
        },
        required: ['event_key'],
      },
  • Zod schema used in the handler for input validation of the event_key parameter.
    export const EventKeySchema = z.string();
  • Comprehensive Zod schema for validating the structure of event data returned from the TBA API, used in the handler to parse the API response.
