search_rubygems

Find RubyGems by searching gem names and descriptions using a query string. Customize results with a limit parameter up to 30. Example queries include 'authentication' or 'aws sdk'.

Instructions

Search for RubyGems matching a query string. The search matches against gem names and descriptions. Returns up to 10 results by default (customizable with limit parameter), ordered by relevance. Example queries: "authentication", "rails middleware", "aws sdk"

Implementation Reference

  • Core handler function that executes the tool logic: fetches search results from RubyGems API, validates with Zod schema, applies limit, and returns results.
    async function searchRubyGems( query: string, limit?: number ): Promise<RubyGemSearchResult[]> { const response = await fetch( `https://rubygems.org/api/v1/search.json?query=${encodeURIComponent(query)}` ); if (!response.ok) { throw new Error(`Failed to search RubyGems: ${response.statusText}`); } const data = await response.json(); const results = z.array(RubyGemSearchResultSchema).parse(data); // Apply limit if provided if (limit && limit > 0) { return results.slice(0, limit); } return results; }
  • Input schema for the search_rubygems tool using Zod, defining query and optional limit parameters.
    const SearchRubyGemsInputSchema = z.object({ query: z.string().min(1).describe('Search query for finding RubyGems'), limit: z .number() .int() .positive() .max(30) .optional() .describe('Maximum number of results to return (default: 10, max: 30)'), });
  • Schema for individual RubyGem search results used for response validation.
    const RubyGemSearchResultSchema = z.object({ name: z.string(), version: z.string(), downloads: z.number(), info: z.string(), homepage_uri: z.string().nullable(), source_code_uri: z.string().nullable(), documentation_uri: z.string().nullable(), bug_tracker_uri: z.string().nullable(), });
  • Exports the McpTool object for search_rubygems, including name, description, inputSchema, and wrapper handler that parses args, calls core function, formats response or error.
    export const searchRubyGemsTool: McpTool = { name: 'search_rubygems', description: 'Search for RubyGems matching a query string. The search matches against gem names and descriptions. Returns up to 10 results by default (customizable with limit parameter), ordered by relevance. Example queries: "authentication", "rails middleware", "aws sdk"', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: zodToJsonSchema(SearchRubyGemsInputSchema), }, handler: async (args: Record<string, unknown> | undefined) => { const { query, limit } = SearchRubyGemsInputSchema.parse(args || {}); const resultLimit = limit || 10; // Default to 10 if not specified try { const results = await searchRubyGems(query, resultLimit); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(results, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: unknown) { // Return error context instead of throwing an error return createErrorResponse(error, 'Failed to search RubyGems'); } }, };
  • src/index.ts:20-27 (registration)
    Registers searchRubyGemsTool in the server's tools array for use in MCP server.
    const tools: readonly McpTool[] = [ getRubyGemInfoTool, searchRubyGemsTool, getGemVersionsTool, getGemReverseDependenciesTool, getOwnerGemsTool, getGemOwnersTool, ] as const;
