Implementation Reference

  • MCP server handler for the 'extract_file' tool. Parses input, calls extractFromFile helper, and returns JSON-formatted schemas.
    case 'extract_file': { const input = ExtractFileInput.parse(args); log(`Extracting from file: ${input.filePath}`); const schemas = await extractFromFile(input.filePath); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify({ success: true, count: schemas.length, schemas, }, null, 2), }, ], }; }
  • Zod input schema for validating 'extract_file' tool arguments.
    const ExtractFileInput = z.object({ filePath: z.string().describe('Path to a single TypeScript file to extract schemas from'), });
  • src/index.ts:143-153 (registration)
    Tool registration in the MCP server's listTools response, including name, description, and JSON input schema.
    { name: 'extract_file', description: 'Extract MCP tool definitions from a single TypeScript file.', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { filePath: { type: 'string', description: 'Path to a TypeScript file' }, }, required: ['filePath'], }, },
  • Main helper function implementing file-based schema extraction by delegating to language-specific parsers.
    export async function extractFromFile(filePath: string, language?: string): Promise<ProducerSchema[]> { // For backward compatibility, default to TypeScript const lang = language || 'typescript'; if (!hasParser(lang)) { throw new Error( `No parser available for language: ${lang}. Make sure to call bootstrapLanguageParsers() at startup.` ); } const parser = getParser(lang); // Extract from the directory containing the file const rootDir = filePath.substring(0, filePath.lastIndexOf('/') || filePath.lastIndexOf('\\')); const fileName = filePath.substring((filePath.lastIndexOf('/') || filePath.lastIndexOf('\\')) + 1); const allSchemas = await parser.extractSchemas({ rootDir: rootDir || '.', include: [fileName], }); return allSchemas.filter(s => s.location.file === filePath); }
