Implementation Reference
- src/server.ts:297-327 (handler)Primary handler and registration for the 'list_collections' tool in the core MCP server. Fetches collections using getList(1, 100), filters system collections optionally, and returns formatted JSON.server.tool( 'list_collections', { includeSystem: z.boolean().optional().default(false).describe('Whether to include system collections') }, async ({ includeSystem }) => { try { const collections = await this.pb.collections.getList(1, 100); const filteredCollections = includeSystem ? collections.items : collections.items.filter((c: any) => !c.system); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(filteredCollections.map((c: any) => ({ id: c.id, name: c.name, type: c.type, system: c.system, recordCount: c.recordCount || 0 })), null, 2) }] }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Failed to list collections: ${error.message}` }], isError: true }; } }
- src/agent-cloudflare.ts:314-329 (handler)Handler implementation in Cloudflare agent variant using getFullList() and returns full JSON of all collections."list_collections", "List all collections in the PocketBase database", {}, async () => { if (!this.pb) { throw new Error('PocketBase not initialized. Please configure POCKETBASE_URL.'); } const collections = await this.pb.collections.getFullList(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(collections, null, 2) }] }; }
- src/agent-simple.ts:418-439 (handler)Handler in simple agent using getFullList() with initialization check.'list_collections', { description: 'List all collections in the PocketBase database' }, async () => { await this.ensureInitialized(); if (!this.pb) { throw new Error('PocketBase not initialized'); } try { const collections = await this.pb.collections.getFullList(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(collections, null, 2) }] }; } catch (error: any) { throw new Error(`Failed to list collections: ${error.message}`); } }
- src/agent-worker-compatible.ts:319-337 (handler)Dedicated helper function listCollections() used in switch case for tool handling in worker-compatible agent.private async listCollections() { if (!this.pb) { throw new Error('PocketBase not configured'); } try { const collections = await this.pb.collections.getFullList(); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(collections, null, 2) } ] }; } catch (error: any) { throw new Error(`Failed to list collections: ${error.message}`); } }
- src/agent-worker-compatible.ts:170-220 (registration)Tool registration in listTools handler for worker-compatible agent, defining schema as empty object.this.server.setRequestHandler(ListToolsRequestSchema, async () => { return { tools: [ { name: "health_check", description: "Check the health status of the MCP server", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, required: [] } }, { name: "list_collections", description: "List all PocketBase collections", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: {}, required: [] } }, { name: "get_collection", description: "Get detailed information about a specific collection", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { name: { type: "string", description: "Collection name" } }, required: ["name"] } }, { name: "list_records", description: "List records from a collection", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { collection: { type: "string", description: "Collection name" }, page: { type: "number", description: "Page number (default: 1)" }, perPage: { type: "number",
