Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'get_object' MCP tool. Retrieves object using S3Client.getObject, handles errors, formats content as text, with special trimming for markdown files.
    async ({ bucket, key }: GetObjectParams) => {
      const object = await this.s3Client.getObject(bucket, key);
      if (!object) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: "Object not found",
            },
          ],
          isError: true,
        };
      }
    
      // Ensure we're returning a proper string
      let content =
        typeof object === "string" ? object : JSON.stringify(object);
    
      // For markdown files, ensure proper formatting
      if (key.endsWith(".md")) {
        // Remove any potential BOM or special characters
        content = content.replace(/^\uFEFF/, "").trim();
      }
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: content,
          },
        ],
      };
    }
  • Zod input schema for the get_object tool defining required parameters bucket and key.
      bucket: z.string().describe("Bucket name"),
      key: z.string().describe("Object key"),
    },
  • src/server.ts:93-99 (registration)
    Registration of the 'get_object' tool on the MCP server, including name, description, and input schema.
    this.server.tool(
      "get_object",
      "Get object content from a bucket",
      {
        bucket: z.string().describe("Bucket name"),
        key: z.string().describe("Object key"),
      },
  • TypeScript type definition for GetObjectParams used to type the handler input.
    interface GetObjectParams {
      bucket: string;
      key: string;
    }
  • Core helper method in S3Client that executes the AWS GetObjectCommand, streams and converts body to UTF-8 text, cleans content for text files, prettifies JSON, handles errors.
    async getObject(bucket: string, key: string) {
      try {
        const command = new GetObjectCommand({
          Bucket: bucket,
          Key: key,
        });
        const response = await this.client.send(command);
        if (!response.Body) {
          return null;
        }
        // Convert the response body to string
        const bodyStream = response.Body as any;
        const chunks: Uint8Array[] = [];
        for await (const chunk of bodyStream) {
          chunks.push(chunk);
        }
        const buffer = Buffer.concat(chunks);
        const text = buffer.toString("utf-8");
    
        // Handle different file types
        const extension = key.split(".").pop()?.toLowerCase();
    
        // Text-based files that should be cleaned
        const textFileExtensions = [
          "md",
          "txt",
          "json",
          "yaml",
          "yml",
          "xml",
          "html",
          "css",
          "js",
          "ts",
          "py",
          "sh",
          "bash",
        ];
    
        if (textFileExtensions.includes(extension || "")) {
          // Clean the text content
          const cleanedText = text
            .replace(/^\uFEFF/, "") // Remove BOM
            .trim(); // Remove extra whitespace
    
          // Special handling for JSON files
          if (extension === "json") {
            try {
              // Validate and format JSON
              const parsed = JSON.parse(cleanedText);
              return JSON.stringify(parsed, null, 2);
            } catch {
              // If JSON parsing fails, return as is
              return cleanedText;
            }
          }
    
          return cleanedText;
        }
    
        // For binary or unknown file types, return as is
        return text;
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error getting object:", error);
        return null;
      }
    }
