Nutrient DWS MCP Server

by PSPDFKit

directory_tree

Generate a visual directory tree structure from any specified path to help users navigate and understand file organization within the Nutrient DWS MCP Server environment.

Instructions

Returns the directory tree of a given path. All paths are resolved relative to root directory.

Input Schema

TableJSON Schema
NameRequiredDescriptionDefault
pathYesThe path to the directory to analyze to find documents or files a user has referenced. Resolves to sandbox path if enabled, otherwise resolves to the local file system.

Implementation Reference

  • Main handler function performDirectoryTreeCall that resolves the path, builds the directory tree using helper, and returns a formatted JSON response or error.
    export async function performDirectoryTreeCall(directoryPath: string): Promise<CallToolResult> { try { const validPath = await resolveReadDirectoryPath(directoryPath) const treeData = await buildDirectoryTree('root', validPath) if (treeData) { return createSuccessResponse(JSON.stringify(treeData.children, null, 2)) } else { return createErrorResponse( `Cannot read the directory tree, make sure to allow this application access to ${validPath}`, ) } } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(`Error: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)}`) } }
  • Zod schema defining the input arguments for the directory_tree tool, specifically the 'path' parameter.
    export const DirectoryTreeArgsSchema = z.object({ path: z .string() .describe( 'The path to the directory to analyze to find documents or files a user has referenced. Resolves to sandbox path if enabled, otherwise resolves to the local file system.', ), })
  • src/index.ts:92-98 (registration)
    Tool registration in the MCP server using server.tool(), providing name 'directory_tree', description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool( 'directory_tree', 'Returns the directory tree of a given path. All paths are resolved relative to root directory.', DirectoryTreeArgsSchema.shape, async ({ path }) => performDirectoryTreeCall(path), ) }
  • Recursive helper function that builds the directory tree structure by reading entries, handling files and subdirectories concurrently, filtering out inaccessible items.
    async function buildDirectoryTree(name: string, directoryPath: string): Promise<TreeEntry | null> { try { const entries = await fs.promises.readdir(directoryPath, { withFileTypes: true }) const promises = entries.map(async (entry) => { let entryData: TreeEntry | null const subPath = path.join(entry.parentPath, entry.name) if (entry.isDirectory()) { entryData = await buildDirectoryTree(entry.name, subPath) } else if (entry.isFile()) { try { const fd = await fs.promises.open(subPath, 'r') await fd.close() entryData = { name: entry.name, path: subPath, type: 'file', } } catch { // If the file is not readable, it should be included in the tree entryData = null } } else { // If the item is not a file or a directory, it should not be included in the tree entryData = null } return entryData }) // Run the build Tree node for all the children concurrently const results = await Promise.all(promises) return { name: name, path: directoryPath, type: 'directory', children: results.filter((res) => res !== null), } } catch { // This is for the case where the folder doesn't allow us to list it's content return null } }
