Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:77-111 (handler)

  Handler function that executes the get_objects tool logic: validates limit, calls makeRequest to Anytype API /spaces/{space_id}/objects, optionally filters response with filterObjectsData, formats as JSON text content.
  async ({ space_id, offset, limit, full_response, include_text }) => { try { // Validate limit const validLimit = Math.max(1, Math.min(1000, limit)); // Use the GET /objects endpoint const response = await this.makeRequest( "get", `/spaces/${space_id}/objects`, null, // No request body for GET { offset, limit: validLimit } // Pass offset and limit as query params ); // Decide how to process the response data based on parameters let responseData; if (full_response) { // Return unfiltered data if full_response is true responseData = response.data; } else { // Filter the response data to remove unnecessary information responseData = this.filterObjectsData(response.data, include_text); } return { content: [ { type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify(responseData, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return this.handleApiError(error); } }
• src/index.ts:56-76 (schema)

  Zod input schema defining parameters for get_objects tool: space_id (required), offset/limit (pagination), full_response, include_text.
  { space_id: z.string().describe("Space ID to get objects from"), offset: z.number().optional().default(0).describe("Pagination offset"), limit: z .number() .optional() .default(100) .describe("Number of results per page (1-1000)"), full_response: z .boolean() .optional() .default(false) .describe("Set to true to get full unfiltered response"), include_text: z .boolean() .optional() .default(false) .describe( "Set to true to include full formatted text content from blocks" ), },
• src/index.ts:54-112 (registration)

  Registration of the get_objects tool using McpServer.tool() with name, description, input schema, and handler function.

• src/index.ts:825-912 (helper)

  Helper method filterObjectsData used by get_objects (and other tools) to simplify API response, extract full text if include_text=true, and structure output.
  // Filter objects data to remove unnecessary information private filterObjectsData(data: any, includeText: boolean = false): any { if (!data || !data.data || !Array.isArray(data.data)) { return data; } const filteredObjects = data.data.map((obj: any) => { // Create a simplified object with only essential information const simplified: any = { id: obj.id, type: obj.type, name: obj.name, icon: obj.icon, layout: obj.layout, space_id: obj.space_id, root_id: obj.root_id, }; // Include snippet only if not requested full text if (!includeText) { simplified.snippet = obj.snippet; } // Process blocks data if (obj.blocks && Array.isArray(obj.blocks)) { simplified.blocks_count = obj.blocks.length; // Extract full text content if requested if (includeText) { const fullText = this.extractFullText(obj.blocks); if (fullText) { simplified.full_text = fullText; } } } // Include simplified details (dates and creator) if (obj.details && Array.isArray(obj.details)) { const dates: any = {}; let created_by: any = null; obj.details.forEach((detail: any) => { if (detail.id === "created_date" && detail.details?.created_date) { dates.created_date = detail.details.created_date; } if ( detail.id === "last_modified_date" && detail.details?.last_modified_date ) { dates.last_modified_date = detail.details.last_modified_date; } if ( detail.id === "last_opened_date" && detail.details?.last_opened_date ) { dates.last_opened_date = detail.details.last_opened_date; } if (detail.id === "tags" && detail.details?.tags) { simplified.tags = detail.details.tags; } // Добавление информации о создателе if (detail.id === "created_by" && detail.details?.details) { created_by = { name: detail.details.details.name, identity: detail.details.details.identity, role: detail.details.details.role, }; } }); if (Object.keys(dates).length > 0) { simplified.dates = dates; } if (created_by) { simplified.created_by = created_by; } } return simplified; }); // Return the filtered data with the same structure return { data: filteredObjects, pagination: data.pagination, }; }
