Add a new MCP tool to server.py
Command definition
add-tool.mddescription: Add a new MCP tool to server.py argument-hint: [tool-name]
Add a new MCP tool named `$ARGUMENTS` to `src/astro_airflow_mcp/server.py`.
Steps
1. If the tool needs a new adapter method, run `/add-adapter-method` first.
2. Create internal `_impl` function that calls the adapter:
def _tool_name_impl(param: str) -> str:
"""Internal implementation."""
try:
adapter = _get_adapter()
data = adapter.method_name(param)
return json.dumps(data, indent=2)
except Exception as e:
return str(e)3. Create the MCP tool with descriptive docstring:
@mcp.tool()
def tool_name(param: str) -> str:
"""One-line description.
Use this tool when the user asks about:
- "Example query 1"
- "Example query 2"
Args:
param: Description
Returns:
JSON with response data
"""
return _tool_name_impl(param=param)4. Add the tool to README.md tools table.
