Implementation Reference

• src/mochow_mcp_server/server.py:564-590 (handler)

  The MCP tool handler function decorated with @mcp.tool(), which registers and implements the 'create_vector_index' tool by delegating to the MochowConnector.
  @mcp.tool() async def create_vector_index( table_name: str, index_name: str, field_name: str, index_type: str = "HNSW", metric_type: str = "L2", params: Optional[dict[str, Any]] = None, ctx: Context = None) -> str: """ Create a vector index on a vector type field in the Mochow instance. Args: table_name (str): Name of the table. index_name (str): Name of the index. field_name (str): Name of the vector field. index_type (str): Type of vector index. Supported values are "HNSW", "HNSWPQ", "HNSWSQ". metric_type (str): Distance metric. Supported values are "L2", "COSINE", "IP". params (Optional[dict[str, Any]]): Additional vector index parameters.

• src/mochow_mcp_server/server.py:171-250 (helper)

  The helper method in MochowConnector class that performs the actual vector index creation using the MochowClient, including validation, parameter mapping, and index creation.
