Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'get_team_simple' tool. It validates input using TeamKeySchema, calls the TBA API endpoint /team/{team_key}/simple, parses the response with TeamSimpleSchema, and returns the JSON-formatted team data.
    case 'get_team_simple': {
      const { team_key } = z.object({ team_key: TeamKeySchema }).parse(args);
      const data = await makeApiRequest(`/team/${team_key}/simple`);
      const team = TeamSimpleSchema.parse(data);
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: 'text',
            text: JSON.stringify(team, null, 2),
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • src/tools.ts:519-532 (registration)
    Tool registration object defining the 'get_team_simple' tool, including its name, description, and input schema for MCP tool listing and execution.
      name: 'get_team_simple',
      description: 'Get simplified information about a specific team',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          team_key: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Team key in format frcXXXX (e.g., frc86)',
            pattern: '^frc\\d+$',
          },
        },
        required: ['team_key'],
      },
    },
  • Zod schema (TeamSimpleSchema) for validating the output data from the TBA API /team/{team_key}/simple endpoint, used in the handler.
    export const TeamSimpleSchema = z.object({
      key: z.string(),
      team_number: z.number(),
      nickname: z.string().nullish(),
      name: z.string(),
      city: z.string().nullish(),
      state_prov: z.string().nullish(),
      country: z.string().nullish(),
    });
  • Zod schema (TeamKeySchema) for validating the team_key input parameter, matching the tool's inputSchema pattern, used in the handler for args parsing.
    export const TeamKeySchema = z
      .string()
      .regex(/^frc\d+$/, 'Team key must be in format frcXXXX');
