Implementation Reference
- src/tools/index-tools.ts:99-111 (handler)The handler function that creates a new Meilisearch index by making a POST request to the /indexes endpoint using apiClient, returns the response as text content, and handles errors.async ({ indexUid, primaryKey }: CreateIndexParams) => { try { const response = await apiClient.post('/indexes', { uid: indexUid, primaryKey, }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } }
- src/tools/index-tools.ts:95-98 (schema)Input schema using Zod for validating parameters: indexUid (string, required), primaryKey (string, optional).{ indexUid: z.string().describe('Unique identifier for the new index'), primaryKey: z.string().optional().describe('Primary key for the index'), },
- src/tools/index-tools.ts:92-112 (registration)Registers the 'create-index' tool on the MCP server with name, description, input schema, and handler function.server.tool( 'create-index', 'Create a new Meilisearch index', { indexUid: z.string().describe('Unique identifier for the new index'), primaryKey: z.string().optional().describe('Primary key for the index'), }, async ({ indexUid, primaryKey }: CreateIndexParams) => { try { const response = await apiClient.post('/indexes', { uid: indexUid, primaryKey, }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } );
- src/tools/index-tools.ts:23-26 (helper)TypeScript interface defining the input parameters for the create-index tool, used in the handler type annotation.interface CreateIndexParams { indexUid: string; primaryKey?: string; }
- src/index.ts:64-64 (registration)Invokes registerIndexTools to register all index tools, including 'create-index', on the main MCP server instance.registerIndexTools(server);
