• src/tools/get-component-by-purpose.ts:158-229 (handler)

  The main handler function for the 'get_component_by_purpose' tool. Validates input, fetches Storybook stories index, filters components matching the purpose using regex patterns (predefined or ad-hoc), maps stories to components, applies pagination, and returns a formatted success response with component details.
  export async function handleGetComponentByPurpose(input: any) { let validatedInput: any; try { validatedInput = validateGetComponentByPurposeInput(input); const purposeLower = validatedInput.purpose.toLowerCase(); const client = new StorybookClient(); // Fetch all components const index = await client.fetchStoriesIndex(); const stories = index.stories || index.entries; if (!stories) { throw new Error('No stories found in Storybook index'); } // Find matching purpose patterns let patterns: RegExp[] = []; let description = ''; // Check predefined purposes if (PURPOSE_PATTERNS[purposeLower]) { patterns = PURPOSE_PATTERNS[purposeLower].patterns; description = PURPOSE_PATTERNS[purposeLower].description; } else { // Create patterns from the purpose string const words = purposeLower.split(/\s+/); patterns = words.map((word: string) => new RegExp(word, 'i')); description = `Components related to ${validatedInput.purpose}`; } // Create filter function for purpose matching const filterFn = (story: any, componentName: string) => { const componentTitle = story.title || ''; const storyName = story.name || story.story || ''; return patterns.some( pattern => pattern.test(componentTitle) || pattern.test(storyName) || pattern.test(componentName) ); }; const componentMap = mapStoriesToComponents(stories, { filterFn, useComponentKey: 'title', }); const allComponents = getComponentsArray(componentMap); // Apply pagination const paginationResult = applyPagination(allComponents, { page: validatedInput.page, pageSize: validatedInput.pageSize, }); const result: ComponentByPurpose = { purpose: validatedInput.purpose, components: paginationResult.items, description, }; const message = formatPaginationMessage( paginationResult, 'Found', `for purpose: ${validatedInput.purpose}` ); return formatSuccessResponse(result, message); } catch (error) { return handleErrorWithContext(error, 'get components by purpose', { resource: 'components by purpose', }); } }
• src/tools/get-component-by-purpose.ts:9-32 (registration)

  Tool registration object defining the name, description, and input schema for 'get_component_by_purpose'.
  export const getComponentByPurposeTool: Tool = { name: 'get_component_by_purpose', description: 'Find design system components by their purpose or use case. Available purposes: "form inputs" (input fields, selects, checkboxes), "navigation" (menus, breadcrumbs, tabs), "feedback" (alerts, toasts, modals, dialogs, popups), "data display" (tables, cards, lists), "layout" (grids, containers, dividers), "buttons" (all button types), "progress" (loaders, spinners), "media" (images, videos, carousels).

• src/utils/validators.ts:53-57 (schema)

  Zod schema for validating the input of get_component_by_purpose tool.
  const GetComponentByPurposeInputSchema = z.object({ purpose: z.string(), page: z.number().int().positive().optional(), pageSize: z.number().int().min(1).max(100).optional(), });
• src/index.ts:33-34 (registration)

  Registration of the tool in the main server index file as part of allTools array.
  tools.getComponentByPurposeTool, tools.getExternalCSSTool,
• src/index.ts:22-22 (registration)

  Maps the tool name to its handler function in the toolHandlers Map.
  ['get_component_by_purpose', tools.handleGetComponentByPurpose],
• src/types/tools.ts:47-51 (schema)

  TypeScript interface defining the input shape for the tool.
  export interface GetComponentByPurposeInput { purpose: string; page?: number; pageSize?: number; }
