- src/tools/index-tools.ts:118-121 (schema)Zod input schema for the 'update-index' tool, defining the required parameters: indexUid and primaryKey.{ indexUid: z.string().describe('Unique identifier of the index'), primaryKey: z.string().describe('New primary key for the index'), },
- src/tools/index-tools.ts:115-134 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'update-index', including name, description, schema, and handler function.server.tool( 'update-index', 'Update a Meilisearch index (currently only supports updating the primary key)', { indexUid: z.string().describe('Unique identifier of the index'), primaryKey: z.string().describe('New primary key for the index'), }, async ({ indexUid, primaryKey }: UpdateIndexParams) => { try { const response = await apiClient.patch(`/indexes/${indexUid}`, { primaryKey, }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } );
