Module

tools.handler

MCP JSON-RPC protocol handler.

Handles the Model Context Protocol's Streamable HTTP transport. Receives a chirpRequest, returns a chirp Response— this means it participates in the normal middleware pipeline (auth, CORS, rate limiting all apply).

Implements the minimal MCP surface for v1:

  • initialize— capability negotiation (tools only)
  • notifications/initialized— client acknowledgment (no-op)
  • tools/list— return registered tool schemas
  • tools/call— dispatch to tool handler, return result
