Implementation Reference
- src/tools/settings-tools.ts:155-164 (handler)Handler function that implements the core logic for the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool. It makes an API call to retrieve the distinct-attribute setting from Meilisearch using the endpoint 'distinct-attribute'.async ({ indexUid }) => { try { const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } }
- src/tools/settings-tools.ts:152-154 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool, specifying the required 'indexUid' parameter.{ indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), },
- src/tools/settings-tools.ts:125-129 (registration)Configuration object defining the name, endpoint, and description for the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool, used in the dynamic registration loop.{ name: "get-distinct-attribute", endpoint: "distinct-attribute", description: "Get the distinct attribute setting", },
- src/tools/settings-tools.ts:147-166 (registration)Dynamic registration loop that registers the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool (and similar tools) with the MCP server using server.tool().// Create a tool for each specific setting specificSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => { server.tool( name, description, { indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), }, async ({ indexUid }) => { try { const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } ); });
- src/index.ts:67-67 (registration)Top-level call to register all settings tools, including 'get-distinct-attribute', on the MCP server instance.registerSettingsTools(server);
