Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/journalHandlers.ts:60-69 (handler)The core handler function that implements the logic for the 'set_journal' tool. It sets a module-level 'currentJournal' variable to the provided journalName and returns a success response.
export async function setJournal( journalName: string, ): Promise<{ success: boolean; currentJournal: string }> { currentJournal = journalName; return { success: true, currentJournal: journalName, }; } - src/index.ts:128-141 (registration)Registers the 'set_journal' tool with the MCP server by including it in the list of available tools returned by ListToolsRequestHandler. Includes the tool's input schema for validation.
{ name: "set_journal", description: "Set the active journal for subsequent operations", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { journalName: { type: "string", description: "Name of the journal to set as active", }, }, required: ["journalName"], }, }, - src/index.ts:131-140 (schema)Defines the input schema for the 'set_journal' tool, specifying that it requires a 'journalName' string parameter.
inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { journalName: { type: "string", description: "Name of the journal to set as active", }, }, required: ["journalName"], }, - src/index.ts:229-243 (handler)The dispatch handler in the CallToolRequestHandler that invokes the setJournal function when 'set_journal' is called, formats the response as MCP content.
