Implementation Reference

  • The handler function for the 'get_link_counts' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool for registration. It takes a site_url, makes an API request to Bing Webmaster Tools' GetLinkCounts endpoint, processes the response by ensuring the __type field is present, and returns the link counts.
    @mcp.tool(name="get_link_counts", description="Get inbound link counts for a site.")
    async def get_link_counts(
        site_url: Annotated[str, "The URL of the site"]
    ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """
        Get inbound link counts for a site.
    
        Args:
            site_url: The URL of the site
    
        Returns:
            Link count statistics
        """
        async with api:
            counts = await api._make_request(f"GetLinkCounts?siteUrl={site_url}")
            return api._ensure_type_field(counts, "LinkCounts")
  • Helper method used by the tool to ensure the response data has the required __type field for MCP compatibility.
    def _ensure_type_field(self, data: Any, type_name: str) -> Any:
        """Ensure __type field is present for MCP compatibility."""
        if isinstance(data, list):
            for item in data:
                if isinstance(item, dict) and "__type" not in item:
                    item["__type"] = f"{type_name}:#Microsoft.Bing.Webmaster.Api"
        elif isinstance(data, dict) and "__type" not in data:
            data["__type"] = f"{type_name}:#Microsoft.Bing.Webmaster.Api"
        return data
  • Core helper method in BingWebmasterAPI class that performs HTTP requests to the Bing API, handles OData responses, errors, and is called by the tool handler.
