Implementation Reference

  • Core handler logic for the 'get-infoq-news' tool (and all others). Proxies the tool call to the remote API endpoint https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api using the tool name in headers and arguments in body, formats response as MCP text content.
    const calcXiaoBenYangApi = async function (fullArgs: Record<string, any>) {
        // 发起 POST 请求
        let response = await fetch('https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/api', {
            method: 'POST',
            headers: {
                'XBY-APIKEY': apiKey,
                'func': fullArgs.toolName,
                'mcpid': mcpID
            },
            body: new URLSearchParams(fullArgs)
        });
        const apiResult = await response.text();
    
        return {
            content: [
                {
                    type: "text",
                    text: apiResult // 将字符串结果放入 content 中
                }
            ]
        } as { [x: string]: unknown; content: [{ type: "text"; text: string }] };
    };
  • Dynamically generates Zod input schema for 'get-infoq-news' (and other tools) by parsing JSON schema from remote API response and mapping types to Zod validators, handling required/optional fields.
    let inputSchema = JSON.parse(apiDesc.inputSchema);
    const zodDict: Record<string, z.ZodTypeAny> = {};
    
    Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => {
        let zodType;
        let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type;
        switch (pt) {
            case 'string':
                zodType = z.string();
                break;
            case 'number':
                zodType = z.number();
                break;
            case 'boolean':
                zodType = z.boolean();
                break;
            case 'integer':
                zodType = z.int32();
                break;
            case 'array':
                zodType = z.array(z.any());
                break;
            case 'object':
                zodType = z.object(z.any());
                break;
            default:
                zodType = z.any();
        }
    
        if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) {
            zodDict[name] = zodType;
        } else {
            zodDict[name] = zodType.optional();
        }
    });
  • src/mcp.ts:88-132 (registration)
    Dynamic registration of all tools for this MCP instance (mcpID '1777316659328003'), including 'get-infoq-news'. Fetches tool list and schemas from https://mcp.xiaobenyang.com/getMcpDesc, converts to Zod, and registers via server.registerTool.
    const apiDescList = data.tools;
    
    for (const apiDesc of apiDescList) {
        let inputSchema = JSON.parse(apiDesc.inputSchema);
        const zodDict: Record<string, z.ZodTypeAny> = {};
    
        Object.entries(inputSchema.properties).forEach(([name, propConfig]) => {
            let zodType;
            let pt = (propConfig as { type: string }).type;
            switch (pt) {
                case 'string':
                    zodType = z.string();
                    break;
                case 'number':
                    zodType = z.number();
                    break;
                case 'boolean':
                    zodType = z.boolean();
                    break;
                case 'integer':
                    zodType = z.int32();
                    break;
                case 'array':
                    zodType = z.array(z.any());
                    break;
                case 'object':
                    zodType = z.object(z.any());
                    break;
                default:
                    zodType = z.any();
            }
    
            if (inputSchema.required?.includes(name)) {
                zodDict[name] = zodType;
            } else {
                zodDict[name] = zodType.optional();
            }
        });
    
    
        addToolXiaoBenYangApi(
            apiDesc.name,
            apiDesc.description ? apiDesc.description : apiDesc.name,
            zodDict);
    }
  • Helper function that registers each tool (including 'get-infoq-news') with the MCP server, providing schema and generic proxy handler.
    const addToolXiaoBenYangApi = function (
        name: string,
        desc: string,
        params: Record<string, ZodType>
    ) {
        server.registerTool(
            name,
            {
                title: name,
                description: desc,
                inputSchema: params,
            }
            ,
            async (args: Record<string, any>) => handleXiaoBenYangApi(args, name)
        )
    };
  • Helper wrapper that prepares arguments by adding toolName (e.g., 'get-infoq-news') and calls the core proxy handler.
    const handleXiaoBenYangApi = async (args: Record<string, any>, toolName: string) => {
        // 校验aid是否存在
        if (toolName === undefined || toolName === null) {
            throw new Error("缺少必要参数 'aid'");
        }
        // 合并参数
        const fullArgs = {...args, toolName: toolName};
        // 调用API
        return calcXiaoBenYangApi(fullArgs);
    };
Behavior2/5

Does the description disclose side effects, auth requirements, rate limits, or destructive behavior?

No annotations are provided, so the description carries full burden. It mentions content types but lacks behavioral details like whether it returns latest articles, trending topics, or paginated results; rate limits; authentication needs; or data freshness. The description is vague on operational behavior.

Agents need to know what a tool does to the world before calling it. Descriptions should go beyond structured annotations to explain consequences.

Conciseness4/5

Is the description appropriately sized, front-loaded, and free of redundancy?

The description is a single, efficient sentence in Chinese that front-loads the main purpose and lists content areas. It's appropriately sized with no wasted words, though it could be slightly more structured for clarity.

Shorter descriptions cost fewer tokens and are easier for agents to parse. Every sentence should earn its place.

Completeness2/5

Given the tool's complexity, does the description cover enough for an agent to succeed on first attempt?

Given no annotations, no output schema, and low parameter coverage, the description is incomplete. It covers what content is fetched but misses key details like return format (e.g., list of articles), error handling, or usage constraints, leaving gaps for effective tool invocation.

Complex tools with many parameters or behaviors need more documentation. Simple tools need less. This dimension scales expectations accordingly.

Parameters2/5

Does the description clarify parameter syntax, constraints, interactions, or defaults beyond what the schema provides?

The input schema has one parameter 'region' with 0% description coverage, and the tool description provides no information about parameters. It doesn't explain what 'region' means (e.g., geographic filtering for news) or its optional nature, failing to compensate for the low schema coverage.

Input schemas describe structure but not intent. Descriptions should explain non-obvious parameter relationships and valid value ranges.

Purpose4/5

Does the description clearly state what the tool does and how it differs from similar tools?

The description clearly states the tool's purpose as '获取 InfoQ 技术资讯' (get InfoQ tech news), specifying the resource (InfoQ) and content scope (software development, architecture design, cloud computing, AI, enterprise tech, and developer trends). It distinguishes from siblings by focusing on InfoQ specifically, though it doesn't explicitly contrast with other news sources.

Agents choose between tools based on descriptions. A clear purpose with a specific verb and resource helps agents select the right tool.

Usage Guidelines2/5

Does the description explain when to use this tool, when not to, or what alternatives exist?

The description provides no guidance on when to use this tool versus alternatives. With many sibling tools for different news sources (e.g., get-bbc-news, get-nytimes-news), it lacks explicit context for choosing InfoQ over others, such as for Chinese tech news or specific topics like enterprise software.

Agents often have multiple tools that could apply. Explicit usage guidance like "use X instead of Y when Z" prevents misuse.
