Adding a New Tool

To add a new tool to the MCP server, follow these steps:

  1. Add a new API function in src/mcp_server_akshare/api.py:

    async def fetch_new_data_function(param1: str, param2: str = "default") -> List[Dict[str, Any]]:
        """
        Fetch new data type.
        
        Args:
            param1: Description of param1
            param2: Description of param2
        """
        try:
            df = ak.akshare_function_name(param1=param1, param2=param2)
            return dataframe_to_dict(df)
        except Exception as e:
            logger.error(f"Error fetching new data: {e}")
            raise
  2. Add the new tool to the enum in src/mcp_server_akshare/server.py:

    class AKShareTools(str, Enum):
        # Existing tools...
        NEW_TOOL_NAME = "new_tool_name"
  3. Import the new function in src/mcp_server_akshare/server.py:

    from .api import (
        # Existing imports...
        fetch_new_data_function,
    )
  4. Add the tool definition to the handle_list_tools() function:

    types.Tool(
        name=AKShareTools.NEW_TOOL_NAME.value,
        description="Description of the new tool",
        inputSchema={
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {
                "param1": {"type": "string", "description": "Description of param1"},
                "param2": {"type": "string", "description": "Description of param2"},
            },
            "required": ["param1"],  # List required parameters
        },
    ),
  5. Add the tool handler in the handle_call_tool() function:

    case AKShareTools.NEW_TOOL_NAME.value:
        param1 = arguments.get("param1")
        if not param1:
            raise ValueError("Missing required argument: param1")
        
        param2 = arguments.get("param2", "default")
        
        result = await fetch_new_data_function(
            param1=param1,
            param2=param2,
        )
  6. Test the new tool by running the server and making a request to the new tool.
