Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:352-382 (registration)MCP tool registration for 'delete_product'. Defines the tool name, input schema (productId: string), and a thin async handler that checks client initialization, imports and calls the service layer deleteProduct function, and returns formatted response.server.tool( "delete_product", { productId: z.string().describe("Product ID") }, async ({ productId }): Promise<{ content: any[], isError?: boolean }> => { // Import the printify products service const { deleteProduct } = await import('./services/printify-products.js'); // Check if client is initialized if (!printifyClient) { return { content: [{ type: "text", text: "Printify API client is not initialized. The PRINTIFY_API_KEY environment variable may not be set." }], isError: true }; } // Call the service const result = await deleteProduct(printifyClient, productId); // Return the result if (result.success) { return result.response as { content: any[], isError?: boolean }; } else { return result.errorResponse as { content: any[], isError: boolean }; } } );
- Primary handler function for deleting a product. Validates that a shop is selected, calls the Printify API client's deleteProduct method, and returns success or formatted error response using error-handler utilities.export async function deleteProduct( printifyClient: PrintifyAPI, productId: string ) { try { // Validate shop is selected const currentShop = printifyClient.getCurrentShop(); if (!currentShop) { throw new Error('No shop is currently selected. Use the list-shops and switch-shop tools to select a shop.'); } // Delete product await printifyClient.deleteProduct(productId); return { success: true, response: formatSuccessResponse( 'Product Deleted Successfully', { ProductId: productId, Shop: currentShop } ) }; } catch (error: any) { console.error('Error deleting product:', error); return { success: false, error, errorResponse: formatErrorResponse( error, 'Delete Product', { ProductId: productId, Shop: printifyClient.getCurrentShop() }, [ 'Check that the product ID is valid', 'Ensure your Printify account is properly connected', 'Make sure you have selected a shop' ] ) }; } }
- src/index.ts:354-356 (schema)Zod input schema for the delete_product tool: requires a single string parameter 'productId'.{ productId: z.string().describe("Product ID") },
- src/printify-api.ts:375-387 (helper)Low-level PrintifyAPI client method that performs the actual deletion by calling this.client.products.deleteOne(productId), which interacts with the Printify SDK.async deleteProduct(productId: string) { if (!this.shopId) { throw new Error('Shop ID is not set. Call setShopId() first.'); } try { // Use the products.deleteOne method with the product ID return await this.client.products.deleteOne(productId); } catch (error) { console.error(`Error deleting product ${productId}:`, error); throw error; } }
