Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that executes the MongoDB update operation, either updateOne or updateMany based on the updateMany flag.
    async ({ database: dbName, collection: collectionName, filter, update, updateMany = false }) => { try { const db = await ensureConnection(dbName); const collection: Collection = db.collection(collectionName); const result = updateMany ? await collection.updateMany(filter, update) : await collection.updateOne(filter, update); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Update operation completed. Matched: ${result.matchedCount}, Modified: ${result.modifiedCount}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Failed to update document(s): ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`); } }
  • Zod input schema defining parameters: database, collection, filter, update, and optional updateMany.
    { database: z.string().describe("Database name"), collection: z.string().describe("Collection name"), filter: z.record(z.any()).describe("Query filter to match documents to update"), update: z.record(z.any()).describe("Update operations as JSON object"), updateMany: z.boolean().optional().describe("Whether to update multiple documents (default: false)"), },
  • src/index.ts:168-199 (registration)
    Registration of the mongo-update-document tool with McpServer.tool(), including schema and inline handler implementation.
    server.tool( "mongo-update-document", "Update documents in a MongoDB collection", { database: z.string().describe("Database name"), collection: z.string().describe("Collection name"), filter: z.record(z.any()).describe("Query filter to match documents to update"), update: z.record(z.any()).describe("Update operations as JSON object"), updateMany: z.boolean().optional().describe("Whether to update multiple documents (default: false)"), }, async ({ database: dbName, collection: collectionName, filter, update, updateMany = false }) => { try { const db = await ensureConnection(dbName); const collection: Collection = db.collection(collectionName); const result = updateMany ? await collection.updateMany(filter, update) : await collection.updateOne(filter, update); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Update operation completed. Matched: ${result.matchedCount}, Modified: ${result.modifiedCount}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Failed to update document(s): ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`); } } );
  • Helper function to establish and cache MongoDB connection and database instance, used by the handler.
    async function ensureConnection(dbName: string): Promise<Db> { if (!mongoClient) { const uri = getMongoUri(); mongoClient = new MongoClient(uri); await mongoClient.connect(); } if (!databases.has(dbName)) { databases.set(dbName, mongoClient.db(dbName)); } return databases.get(dbName)!; }
