Code
code: 7 operations.
Also for this capability: API · CLI · MCP · SDKs
code: 7 operations. Name one in "op" and pass that operation's own arguments in "input". describe returns an operation's input schema.
| Tool | code |
| Address | https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp |
| Method | tools/call (JSON-RPC 2.0) |
| Arguments | 2, 1 required |
| Operation | GET /v1/code/ask · GET /v1/code/file · GET /v1/code/search · GET /v1/code/tree |
| Product | code |
Arguments
| Field | Type | Required | Default | Values | Description |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
input | object | — | — | — | arguments for the chosen op |
op | string | yes | — | — | one of the operations below |
op — what each one does:

tools/list declares a type, a description, which fields are required and an enumerated value set for each field and nothing further, and every column above is MCP's own. This tool takes an operation name and that operation's arguments, so what the document constrains is what goes inside input, field by field, on the operation you name — ask describe for that. A — means MCP does not constrain the field.
Call it
A tools/call carries every argument in one flat object — nothing binds to a path or a query string. This call carries exactly the arguments the operation requires, so it is the smallest one that can run.
curl -X POST https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/mcp \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY" \

}'Values are the operation's own defaults and enumerated values where it declares them, and a <placeholder> where neither source declares one. tools/list needs no credential; tools/call does — called without one MCP answers HTTP 200 with a JSON-RPC result whose isError is set and whose text says what was missing.

The operation behind it
code dispatches to 7 operations. 4 of them MCP names exactly as the document ids them, and those are below; for the rest MCP has its own verb, which describe resolves.
| Operation | Route | Product | Summary |
|---|---|---|---|
get_code_ask | GET /v1/code/ask | code | Answers a question about the caller org's code with a CITED answer: retrieval packs… |
get_code_file | GET /v1/code/file | code | Returns the INDEXED content of one file — read_file over the chunks the search tiers… |
get_code_search | GET /v1/code/search | code | Finds code in the caller org's index across three orthogonal retrieval tiers fused by… |
