Implementation Reference
- tools/people.ts:220-237 (handler)The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'get_staff' tool by querying AniList for staff information based on the provided ID or name and returning formatted JSON or error.
async ({ id }) => { try { const staff = await anilist.people.staff(id); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(staff, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${error.message}` }], isError: true, }; } }, - tools/people.ts:210-214 (schema)The Zod input schema for the 'get_staff' tool, validating the 'id' parameter as either a number or string.
{ id: z .union([z.number(), z.string()]) .describe("The AniList ID or name of the staff member"), }, - tools/people.ts:207-238 (registration)The direct registration of the 'get_staff' tool using server.tool() within the registerPeopleTools function, including name, description, schema, hints, and handler.
server.tool( "get_staff", "Get information about staff member by their AniList ID or name", { id: z .union([z.number(), z.string()]) .describe("The AniList ID or name of the staff member"), }, { title: "Get Staff Member Info", readOnlyHint: true, openWorldHint: true, }, async ({ id }) => { try { const staff = await anilist.people.staff(id); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(staff, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${error.message}` }], isError: true, }; } }, ); - tools/index.ts:35-35 (registration)Call to registerPeopleTools inside registerAllTools, which triggers the registration of 'get_staff'.
registerPeopleTools(server, anilist, config); - index.ts:61-61 (registration)Top-level call to registerAllTools in the main index.ts, which ultimately registers the 'get_staff' tool.
registerAllTools(server, anilist, config);
