Implementation Reference
- src/server/server.ts:221-230 (registration)Registers the MCP 'update_application' tool with input schema and inline handler that delegates to ArgoCDClient
this.addJsonOutputTool( 'update_application', 'update_application updates application', { applicationName: z.string(), application: ApplicationSchema }, async ({ applicationName, application }) => await this.argocdClient.updateApplication( applicationName, application as V1alpha1Application ) ); - src/argocd/client.ts:86-92 (handler)Core handler logic: performs HTTP PUT to ArgoCD API endpoint /api/v1/applications/{applicationName} with the application manifest
public async updateApplication(applicationName: string, application: V1alpha1Application) { const { body } = await this.client.put<V1alpha1Application, V1alpha1Application>( `/api/v1/applications/${applicationName}`, null, application ); return body; - src/shared/models/schema.ts:22-67 (schema)Zod schema for validating the input 'application' object (V1alpha1Application) used by the tool
export const ApplicationSchema = z.object({ metadata: z.object({ name: z.string(), namespace: ApplicationNamespaceSchema }), spec: z.object({ project: z.string(), source: z.object({ repoURL: z.string(), path: z.string(), targetRevision: z.string() }), syncPolicy: z.object({ syncOptions: z.array(z.string()), automated: z.object({ prune: z.boolean(), selfHeal: z.boolean() }).optional(), retry: z .object({ limit: z.number(), backoff: z.object({ duration: z.string(), maxDuration: z.string(), factor: z.number() }) }) }), destination: z.object({ server: z.string().optional(), namespace: z.string().optional(), name: z.string().optional() }) .refine( (data: { server?: string; name?: string }) => (!data.server && !!data.name) || (!!data.server && !data.name), { message: "Only one of server or name must be specified in destination" } ) .describe( `The destination of the application. Only one of server or name must be specified.` ) }) }); - src/server/server.ts:321-340 (helper)Helper method that wraps tool callbacks to provide JSON output formatting and error handling for all tools including update_application.
