- src/index.ts:159-165 (handler)Handler for the 'quip_append_content' tool, validates arguments and delegates to editDocument method with 'APPEND' operation.case 'quip_append_content': { const typedArgs = args as any; if (!typedArgs.threadId || !typedArgs.content) { throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'threadId and content are required'); } return await this.editDocument(String(typedArgs.threadId), String(typedArgs.content), 'APPEND'); }
- src/index.ts:235-268 (helper)Helper method editDocument that implements the core logic for appending content by writing to a temp file and executing the quip_edit.py script with 'append' operation.private async editDocument(threadId: string, content: string, operation: string) { try { console.log(`Editing document ${threadId} with operation ${operation}...`); // Create a temporary file to store the content const tempFilePath = `/tmp/quip_content_${Date.now()}.md`; const writeCommand = `echo "${content.replace(/"/g, '\\"')}" > ${tempFilePath}`; await execAsync(writeCommand); // Execute the Python script to edit the document const command = `python -u ${path.join(SCRIPTS_DIR, 'quip_edit.py')} ${threadId} ${operation.toLowerCase()} ${tempFilePath}`; const { stdout, stderr } = await execAsync(command); // Clean up the temporary file await execAsync(`rm ${tempFilePath}`); if (stderr) { console.error(`Error editing document: ${stderr}`); throw new Error(stderr); } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: stdout || `Successfully ${operation.toLowerCase()}ed content to document ${threadId}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { console.error(`Error ${operation.toLowerCase()}ing document:`, error); throw error; } }
