Implementation Reference

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:155-164 (handler)

  Shared handler function for retrieving specific index settings, including 'displayed-attributes'. Calls Meilisearch API to get the setting value for the given indexUid.

  async ({ indexUid }) => {
    try {
      const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return createErrorResponse(error);
    }
  }

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:153-154 (schema)

  Input schema defining the required 'indexUid' parameter as a string.

    indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
  },

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:95-99 (registration)

  Configuration object that defines the tool's name, endpoint, and description for dynamic registration.

  {
    name: "get-displayed-attributes",
    endpoint: "displayed-attributes",
    description: "Get the displayed attributes setting",
  },

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:147-166 (registration)

  forEach loop that dynamically registers the server.tool for 'get-displayed-attributes' and other specific settings tools.

  // Create a tool for each specific setting
  specificSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => {
    server.tool(
      name,
      description,
      {
        indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
      },
      async ({ indexUid }) => {
        try {
          const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`);
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return createErrorResponse(error);
        }
      }
    );
  });

• src/index.ts:67-67 (registration)

  Top-level call to registerSettingsTools which triggers the registration of the 'get-displayed-attributes' tool.

  registerSettingsTools(server);
