Code Examples

Server Implementation

const server = new Server({ name: "my-tools", version: "1.0.0" }); server.setRequestHandler( ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => ({ tools: [{ name: "calculate", description: "Math operations", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { operation: { type: "string" }, values: { type: "array" } } } }] }) );

Client Connection

const client = new Client({ name: "my-app", version: "1.0.0" }); await client.connect(transport); const result = await client.request({ method: "tools/call", params: { name: "calculate", arguments: { operation: "add", values: [1, 2] } } });
