Implementation Reference
- The @mcp.tool()-decorated async function that implements the core logic of the 'get_code_examples' tool. It performs filtered searches for code examples using smart_search helpers, falls back to web search and regex extraction if needed, and returns structured examples with metadata. The function signature defines the input schema via type hints.async def get_code_examples( library: str, topic: str, language: str = "python", version: str = "latest", auto_detect_version: bool = False, ): """ Get curated code examples for a specific topic and library.
