Implementation Reference

  • The core handler function for the 'get_file_info' MCP tool. It uses the Dropbox API to retrieve file metadata and constructs a FileInfo object, handling both files and folders.
    @mcp.tool() def get_file_info(file_path: str) -> FileInfo: """ Get detailed information about a specific file. Args: file_path: Full path to the file in Dropbox """ if not dropbox_client: initialize_dropbox_client() try: metadata = dropbox_client.files_get_metadata(file_path) if isinstance(metadata, dropbox.files.FileMetadata): return FileInfo( name=metadata.name, path=metadata.path_lower, size=metadata.size, modified=metadata.server_modified.isoformat(), is_folder=False ) else: return FileInfo( name=metadata.name, path=metadata.path_lower, size=0, modified="", is_folder=True ) except Exception as e: raise ValueError(f"Failed to get file info for {file_path}: {e}")
  • Pydantic BaseModel used as the return type for get_file_info, defining the schema for file information including name, path, size, modification time, folder status, and optional content preview.
    class FileInfo(BaseModel): """File information structure.""" name: str path: str size: int modified: str is_folder: bool content_preview: Optional[str] = None
  • Duplicate handler function for the 'get_file_info' tool in dockerfile.py, identical to the one in dropbox_server.py.
    @mcp.tool() def get_file_info(file_path: str) -> FileInfo: """ Get detailed information about a specific file. Args: file_path: Full path to the file in Dropbox """ if not dropbox_client: initialize_dropbox_client() try: metadata = dropbox_client.files_get_metadata(file_path) if isinstance(metadata, dropbox.files.FileMetadata): return FileInfo( name=metadata.name, path=metadata.path_lower, size=metadata.size, modified=metadata.server_modified.isoformat(), is_folder=False ) else: return FileInfo( name=metadata.name, path=metadata.path_lower, size=0, modified="", is_folder=True ) except Exception as e: raise ValueError(f"Failed to get file info for {file_path}: {e}")
