Implementation Reference
- server.js:128-150 (handler)The core handler function that implements the logic to search for Basecoat components matching the query in name or category.async searchComponents(query) { const components = await this.getComponentsList(); const results = []; const queryLower = query.toLowerCase(); for (const [category, categoryComponents] of Object.entries(components)) { for (const component of categoryComponents) { // Search in component name and category if (component.name.toLowerCase().includes(queryLower) || category.toLowerCase().includes(queryLower)) { results.push({ name: component.name, category: category, file: component.file, match: component.name.toLowerCase().includes(queryLower) ? 'name' : 'category' }); } } } return results; }
- server.js:221-234 (registration)Registration of the 'search_components' tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.{ name: 'search_components', description: 'Search for components by name or category', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { query: { type: 'string', description: 'Search term (e.g., "button", "form", "navigation")', }, }, required: ['query'], }, },
- server.js:329-350 (handler)The tool dispatcher case that calls the searchComponents handler, formats the results into a markdown response, and returns the MCP content.case 'search_components': { const results = await this.searchComponents(args.query); let output = `# Search Results for "${args.query}"\n\n`; if (results.length === 0) { output += 'No components found matching your search.\n'; } else { output += `Found ${results.length} matching component(s):\n\n`; for (const result of results) { output += `- **${result.name}** (${result.category}) - matched by ${result.match}\n`; } } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: output, }, ], }; }
- server.js:33-58 (helper)Helper function that scans the components directory to build a list of all available components by category, used by searchComponents.async getComponentsList() { const categories = ['forms', 'navigation', 'feedback', 'interactive', 'layout']; const components = {}; for (const category of categories) { const categoryPath = path.join(__dirname, 'components', category); try { const files = await fs.readdir(categoryPath); const htmlFiles = files .filter(file => file.endsWith('.html')) .map(file => ({ name: file.replace('.html', ''), category: category, file: file })); if (htmlFiles.length > 0) { components[category] = htmlFiles; } } catch (error) { console.error(`Error reading category ${category}:`, error.message); } } return components; }
