From 712b04e96d44d160b045622149802742ccaf9b74 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Basil Hosmer Date: Wed, 14 May 2025 17:07:50 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Refactor McpServer tool registration API MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit - Remove tool() overload that takes a config object with callback - Add new registerTool() method that separates config from callback - Extract common tool registration logic into _createRegisteredTool() helper - Update all tests to use registerTool() for tools with output schemas - Update examples to use registerTool() and high-level Client API - Add comment noting that output schema validation only works with high-level API This change improves API clarity by using a distinct method for tools with output schemas while maintaining backward compatibility. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.ai/code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- src/examples/server/mcpServerOutputSchema.ts | 41 ++-- .../server/testOutputSchemaServers.ts | 22 +- src/server/mcp.test.ts | 132 ++++++------ src/server/mcp.ts | 193 +++++++++--------- 4 files changed, 204 insertions(+), 184 deletions(-) diff --git a/src/examples/server/mcpServerOutputSchema.ts b/src/examples/server/mcpServerOutputSchema.ts index 07cb7f96..65230fc7 100644 --- a/src/examples/server/mcpServerOutputSchema.ts +++ b/src/examples/server/mcpServerOutputSchema.ts @@ -16,25 +16,28 @@ const server = new McpServer( ); // Define a tool with structured output - Weather data -server.tool("get_weather", { - description: "Get weather information for a city", - inputSchema:{ - city: z.string().describe("City name"), - country: z.string().describe("Country code (e.g., US, UK)") +server.registerTool( + "get_weather", + { + description: "Get weather information for a city", + inputSchema:{ + city: z.string().describe("City name"), + country: z.string().describe("Country code (e.g., US, UK)") + }, + outputSchema: { + temperature: z.object({ + celsius: z.number(), + fahrenheit: z.number() + }), + conditions: z.enum(["sunny", "cloudy", "rainy", "stormy", "snowy"]), + humidity: z.number().min(0).max(100), + wind: z.object({ + speed_kmh: z.number(), + direction: z.string() + }) + }, }, - outputSchema: { - temperature: z.object({ - celsius: z.number(), - fahrenheit: z.number() - }), - conditions: z.enum(["sunny", "cloudy", "rainy", "stormy", "snowy"]), - humidity: z.number().min(0).max(100), - wind: z.object({ - speed_kmh: z.number(), - direction: z.string() - }) - }, - callback: async ({ city, country }) => { + async ({ city, country }) => { // Parameters are available but not used in this example void city; void country; @@ -57,7 +60,7 @@ server.tool("get_weather", { } }; } -}); +); async function main() { const transport = new StdioServerTransport(); diff --git a/src/examples/server/testOutputSchemaServers.ts b/src/examples/server/testOutputSchemaServers.ts index f6966b5e..911e23c1 100755 --- a/src/examples/server/testOutputSchemaServers.ts +++ b/src/examples/server/testOutputSchemaServers.ts @@ -7,7 +7,6 @@ import { Client } from "../../client/index.js"; import { StdioClientTransport } from "../../client/stdio.js"; -import { ListToolsResultSchema, CallToolResultSchema } from "../../types.js"; async function main() { const serverPath = process.argv[2]; @@ -39,9 +38,7 @@ async function main() { // List available tools console.log("Listing available tools..."); - const toolsResult = await client.request({ - method: "tools/list" - }, ListToolsResultSchema); + const toolsResult = await client.listTools(); console.log("Available tools:"); for (const tool of toolsResult.tools) { @@ -56,16 +53,15 @@ async function main() { // Call the weather tool console.log("\nCalling get_weather tool..."); - const weatherResult = await client.request({ - method: "tools/call", - params: { - name: "get_weather", - arguments: { - city: "London", - country: "UK" - } + // Note: Output schema validation only works when using the high-level Client API + // methods like callTool().
