MCP Tool Definitions & Schema Registration Implementation Plan

For agentic workers: REQUIRED SUB-SKILL: Use superpowers:subagent-driven-development (recommended) or superpowers:executing-plans to implement this plan task-by-task. Steps use checkbox (- [ ]) syntax for tracking.

Goal: Expose OpenProject capabilities as 10 Model Context Protocol (MCP) tools with Zod input validation, error sanitization, and server registration.

Architecture: Modular tool definitions in src/tools/ wrapping domain services (src/services/), returning standard MCP text content blocks, resolving client via ambient RequestContext, and registering on @modelcontextprotocol/sdk McpServer.

Tech Stack: Bun, TypeScript, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk (McpServer), Zod, bun:test.

Spec: docs/specs/2026-09-06-mcp-tools-design.md

Global Constraints

Bun runtime (>= 1.3), bun test for verification.
Strict TypeScript (strict: true), no any (use explicit Zod inference or unknown).
Stateless execution: resolve ambient client via RequestContext (no global mutable client).
All tools are read-only (readOnly: true).
Standard MCP tool return format: { content: [{ type: "text", text: string }], isError?: boolean }.
Plain text responses / no secrets in error messages.

Task 1: Common Tool Utilities & Types

Files:

Create: src/tools/common.ts
Test: tests/tools.test.ts

Interfaces:

Consumes: src/client/errors.ts, zod, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js
Produces:
- McpToolResponse: { content: Array<{ type: "text"; text: string }>; isError?: boolean }
- formatToolSuccess(data: unknown): McpToolResponse
- formatToolError(error: unknown): McpToolResponse
- ToolDefinition<TShape> interface: { name: string; description: string; schema?: TShape; readOnly: boolean; execute: (args: any) => Promise<McpToolResponse> }
- registerTool(server: McpServer, tool: ToolDefinition<any>): void
Step 1: Write failing tests for common tool utilities

In tests/tools.test.ts:

import { describe, expect, test } from "bun:test";
import { formatToolSuccess, formatToolError } from "../src/tools/common";
import { OpenProjectNotFoundError } from "../src/client/errors";

describe("Tool Utilities", () => {
  test("formatToolSuccess formats data into MCP text response", () => {
    const data = { id: 1, name: "Test" };
    const response = formatToolSuccess(data);
    expect(response.isError).toBeUndefined();
    expect(response.content).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(response.content[0].type).toBe("text");
    expect(JSON.parse(response.content[0].text)).toEqual(data);
  });

  test("formatToolError formats error into MCP isError response", () => {
    const error = new OpenProjectNotFoundError("Project 99 not found");
    const response = formatToolError(error);
    expect(response.isError).toBe(true);
    expect(response.content).toHaveLength(1);
    expect(response.content[0].type).toBe("text");
    expect(response.content[0].text).toContain("Project 99 not found");
  });

  test("formatToolError handles non-Error unknown values", () => {
    const response = formatToolError("unexpected failure string");
    expect(response.isError).toBe(true);
    expect(response.content[0].text).toContain("unexpected failure string");
  });
});

Step 2: Run test to verify it fails

Run: bun test tests/tools.test.ts Expected: FAIL with module ../src/tools/common not found.

Step 3: Implement minimal code for common tool utilities

In src/tools/common.ts:

import type { ZodRawShape } from "zod";
import type { McpServer } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/server/mcp.js";
import { OpenProjectError } from "../client/errors";

export interface McpToolResponse {
  content: Array<{ type: "text"; text: string }>;
  isError?: boolean;
}

export function formatToolSuccess(data: unknown): McpToolResponse {
  return {
    content: [
      {
        type: "text",
        text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2),
      },
    ],
  };
}

export function formatToolError(error: unknown): McpToolResponse {
  let message: string;

  if (error instanceof OpenProjectError) {
    message = `Error [${error.code}]: ${error.message}`;
  } else if (error instanceof Error) {
    message = `Error: ${error.message}`;
  } else {
    message = `Error: ${String(error)}`;
  }

  return {
    content: [
      {
        type: "text",
        text: message,
      },
    ],
    isError: true,
  };
}

export interface ToolDefinition<TShape extends ZodRawShape = ZodRawShape> {
  name: string;
  description: string;
  parameters?: TShape;
  readOnly: boolean;
  execute: (args: any) => Promise<McpToolResponse>;
}

export function registerTool(server: McpServer, tool: ToolDefinition<any>): void {
  if (tool.parameters) {
    server.tool(tool.name, tool.description, tool.parameters, async (args: any) => {
      return tool.execute(args);
    });
  } else {
    server.tool(tool.name, tool.description, async () => {
      return tool.execute({});
    });
  }
}

Step 4: Run test to verify it passes

Run: bun test tests/tools.test.ts Expected: PASS (3 pass).

Step 5: Commit

git add src/tools/common.ts tests/tools.test.ts
git commit -m "feat(tools): add common tool utilities, types, and error formatting"

Task 2: Project Tools

Files:

Create: src/tools/projects.ts
Modify: tests/tools.test.ts

Interfaces:

Consumes: src/tools/common.ts, src/services/projects.ts, zod
Produces:

- handleListProjects(args): handler returning Promise<McpToolResponse>
