Implementation Reference

  • The MCP tool handler for 'create_index', decorated with @mcp.tool(). It creates a new index by calling the search client's create_index method.
    @mcp.tool()
    def create_index(index: str, body: Optional[Dict] = None) -> Dict:
        """
        Create a new index.
        
        Args:
            index: Name of the index
            body: Optional index configuration including mappings and settings
        """
        return self.search_client.create_index(index=index, body=body)
  • src/server.py:41-53 (registration)
    Top-level registration where IndexTools (containing create_index) is included in tool_classes and registered via ToolsRegister.
    register = ToolsRegister(self.logger, self.search_client, self.mcp)
    
    # Define all tool classes to register
    tool_classes = [
        IndexTools,
        DocumentTools,
        ClusterTools,
        AliasTools,
        DataStreamTools,
        GeneralTools,
    ]        
    # Register all tools
    register.register_all_tools(tool_classes)
  • Helper method in IndexClient that implements the low-level index creation delegated by the MCP tool handler.
    def create_index(self, index: str, body: Optional[Dict] = None) -> Dict:
        """Creates an index with optional settings and mappings."""
        return self.client.indices.create(index=index, body=body)
  • IndexTools.register_tools method where the @mcp.tool() decorators register the create_index tool (and others) with the MCP instance.
    def register_tools(self, mcp: FastMCP):
        @mcp.tool()
