Implementation Reference

• qlik_sense_mcp_server/repository_api.py:93-183 (handler)

  Core handler function implementing the get_apps tool logic: fetches apps from Qlik Sense Repository API with filtering (name, stream, published), pagination, and returns minimal essential fields.

• qlik_sense_mcp_server/server.py:428-466 (handler)

  MCP call_tool dispatcher handler for get_apps: parses arguments, converts types, delegates to repository_api.get_comprehensive_apps, formats JSON response.
