Implementation Reference

  • Handler implementation for the 'get_events' tool. Validates input with YearSchema, calls TBA API /events/${year}, validates output with EventSchema array, returns JSON string.
    case 'get_events': {
      const { year } = z.object({ year: YearSchema }).parse(args);
      const data = await makeApiRequest(`/events/${year}`);
      const events = z.array(EventSchema).parse(data);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(events, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • MCP tool schema definition for 'get_events', specifying input schema with required 'year' number parameter.
    {
      name: 'get_events',
      description: 'Get all FRC events for a specific year',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          year: {
            type: 'number',
            description: 'Competition year',
            minimum: 1992,
            maximum: new Date().getFullYear() + 1,
          },
        },
        required: ['year'],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:45-47 (registration)
    Server registration for listTools request, returning the tools array that includes 'get_events'.
    server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => {
      return { tools };
    });
  • Zod schema for input validation of the 'year' parameter used in handler.
    export const YearSchema = z
      .number()
      .int()
      .min(1992)
      .max(new Date().getFullYear() + 1);
  • Zod schema for output validation of individual event objects returned by the tool.
    export const EventSchema = z.object({
      key: z.string(),
      name: z.string(),
      event_code: z.string(),
      event_type: z.number(),
      district: z
        .object({
          abbreviation: z.string(),
          display_name: z.string(),
          key: z.string(),
          year: z.number(),
        })
        .nullish(),
      city: z.string().nullish(),
      state_prov: z.string().nullish(),
      country: z.string().nullish(),
      start_date: z.string(),
      end_date: z.string(),
      year: z.number(),

      event_type_string: z.string(),

      lng: z.number().nullish(),
      location_name: z.string().nullish(),

      website: z.string().nullish(),
      first_event_id: z.string().nullish(),

            channel: z.string(),
            date: z.string().nullish(),
            file: z.string().nullish(),
          }),
        )
        .nullish(),
