Implementation Guidelines

  • Use rmcp-macros: Leverage #[tool], #[tool_router], and #[tool_handler] macros for cleaner code

  • Type Safety: Use schemars::JsonSchema for all parameter types

  • Error Handling: Return Result types with proper error messages

  • Async/Await: All handlers must be async

  • State Management: Use Arc<RwLock<T>> for shared state

  • Testing: Include unit tests for tools and integration tests for handlers

  • Logging: Use tracing macros (info!, debug!, warn!, error!)

  • Documentation: Add doc comments to all public items

Example Tool Patterns

Simple Read-Only Tool

Copy & paste — that's it
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct GreetParams {
 pub name: String,
}

#[tool(
 name = "greet",
 description = "Greets a user by name",
 annotations(read_only_hint = true, idempotent_hint = true)
)]
async fn greet(params: Parameters ) -> String {
 format!("Hello, {}!", params.inner().name)
}

Tool with Error Handling

Copy & paste — that's it
#[derive(Debug, Deserialize, JsonSchema)]
pub struct DivideParams {
 pub a: f64,
 pub b: f64,
}

#[tool(name = "divide", description = "Divides two numbers")]
async fn divide(params: Parameters ) -> Result {
 let p = params.inner();
 if p.b == 0.0 {
 Err("Cannot divide by zero".to_string())
 } else {
 Ok(p.a / p.b)
 }
}

Tool with State

Copy & paste — that's it
#[tool(
 name = "increment",
 description = "Increments the counter",
 annotations(destructive_hint = true)
)]
async fn increment(state: &ServerState) -> i32 {
 state.increment().await
}
