Quick Examples

Simple Tool with Decorators

import { Tool, SchemaConstraint } from "@leanmcp/core";

class WeatherInput {
  @SchemaConstraint({ description: 'City name' })
  city!: string;
}

export class WeatherService {
  @Tool({ 
    description: 'Get weather for a city',
    inputClass: WeatherInput
  })
  async getWeather(input: WeatherInput) {
    return { temperature: 72, condition: 'sunny' };
  }
}

Authentication Setup

import { Authenticated, AuthProvider } from "@leanmcp/auth";

const auth = new AuthProvider('cognito', {
  region: process.env.AWS_REGION,
  userPoolId: process.env.COGNITO_USER_POOL_ID
});

@Authenticated(auth)
export class SecureService {
  @Tool({ description: 'Protected endpoint' })
  async secureOperation(input: any) {
    // Authenticated users only
    return { success: true };
  }
}
