pursIdeUsages

Identify all instances where a specific function, type, or value is used across a PureScript project using the PureScript MCP Server. Ensures accurate refactoring by showing the impact of changes across modules.

Instructions

Find everywhere a specific function, type, or value is used across the project. PREREQUISITES: IDE server running and modules loaded. Essential for refactoring - shows impact of changes. If you plan to refactor, get usages before refactoring so you can make changes to all places that function is used.

identifierYesThe identifier to find usages for.

namespaceYesNamespace of the identifier.

Implementation Reference

  • Handler function for 'pursIdeUsages' tool. Validates input parameters (module, namespace, identifier), constructs params, sends 'usages' command to purs ide server via sendCommandToPursIde, and returns the JSON-formatted result.
    "pursIdeUsages": async (args) => { if (!args || typeof args.module !== 'string' || typeof args.namespace !== 'string' || typeof args.identifier !== 'string') { throw new Error("Invalid input: 'module', 'namespace', and 'identifier' (strings) are required for pursIdeUsages."); } const params = { module: args.module, namespace: args.namespace, identifier: args.identifier }; const result = await sendCommandToPursIde({ command: "usages", params }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }; },
  • Input schema definition for 'pursIdeUsages' tool, specifying required parameters: module, namespace (value/type/kind), identifier.
    { name: "pursIdeUsages", description: "Find everywhere a specific function, type, or value is used across the project. PREREQUISITES: IDE server running and modules loaded. Essential for refactoring - shows impact of changes. If you plan to refactor, get usages before refactoring so you can make changes to all places that function is used.", inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { module: { type: "string", description: "Module where the identifier is defined." }, namespace: { type: "string", enum: ["value", "type", "kind"], description: "Namespace of the identifier." }, identifier: { type: "string", description: "The identifier to find usages for." } }, required: ["module", "namespace", "identifier"], additionalProperties: false } },
  • index.js:1101-1113 (registration)
    Registration of the handler in INTERNAL_TOOL_HANDLERS map, which is used in tools/call to dispatch to the handler.
    "pursIdeUsages": async (args) => { if (!args || typeof args.module !== 'string' || typeof args.namespace !== 'string' || typeof args.identifier !== 'string') { throw new Error("Invalid input: 'module', 'namespace', and 'identifier' (strings) are required for pursIdeUsages."); } const params = { module: args.module, namespace: args.namespace, identifier: args.identifier }; const result = await sendCommandToPursIde({ command: "usages", params }); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2) }] }; }, "pursIdeList": async (args) => {
  • index.js:1158-1164 (registration)
    Registration via tools/list endpoint returning TOOL_DEFINITIONS array containing the pursIdeUsages tool definition (not excluded).
    if (method === 'tools/list') { const toolsToExclude = ['query_purescript_ast', 'query_purs_ide']; // Keep query_purs_ide for now, for direct access if needed const filteredToolDefinitions = TOOL_DEFINITIONS.filter( tool => !toolsToExclude.includes(tool.name) ); return createSuccessResponse(id, { tools: filteredToolDefinitions }); }
  • Helper function sendCommandToPursIde that establishes TCP connection to purs ide server, sends JSON command (like {command: 'usages', params}), receives and parses JSON response. Core communication layer used by the handler.
    function sendCommandToPursIde(commandPayload) { return new Promise((resolve, reject) => { if (!pursIdeProcess || !pursIdeIsReady || !pursIdeServerPort) { return reject(new Error("purs ide server is not running or not ready.")); } const client = new net.Socket(); let responseData = ''; client.connect(pursIdeServerPort, '127.0.0.1', () => { logToStderr(`[MCP Client->purs ide]: Sending command: ${JSON.stringify(commandPayload).substring(0,100)}...`, 'debug'); client.write(JSON.stringify(commandPayload) + '\n'); }); client.on('data', (data) => { responseData += data.toString(); if (responseData.includes('\n')) { const completeResponses = responseData.split('\n').filter(Boolean); responseData = ''; if (completeResponses.length > 0) { try { resolve(JSON.parse(completeResponses[0].trim())); } catch (e) { reject(new Error(`Failed to parse JSON response from purs ide: ${e.message}. Raw: ${completeResponses[0]}`)); } } client.end(); } }); client.on('end', () => { if (responseData.trim()) { try { resolve(JSON.parse(responseData.trim())); } catch (e) { reject(new Error(`Failed to parse JSON response from purs ide on end: ${e.message}. Raw: ${responseData}`));} } }); client.on('close', () => { logToStderr(`[MCP Client->purs ide]: Connection closed.`, 'debug'); }); client.on('error', (err) => reject(new Error(`TCP connection error with purs ide server: ${err.message}`))); }); }
