Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool registration decorator and thin handler wrapper that delegates to manage_temp_directory helper.
    @mcp.tool() @handle_mcp_tool_errors(return_type='dict') def create_temp_directory() -> Dict[str, Any]: """Create the temporary directory used for storing index data.""" return manage_temp_directory('create')
  • The registered MCP tool handler function for create_temp_directory.
    @mcp.tool() @handle_mcp_tool_errors(return_type='dict') def create_temp_directory() -> Dict[str, Any]: """Create the temporary directory used for storing index data.""" return manage_temp_directory('create')
  • Core helper function implementing the temp directory creation logic, called by the MCP handler. Handles both create and check actions.
    def manage_temp_directory(action: str) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Manage temporary directory operations. This is a standalone function that doesn't require project context. Handles the logic for create_temp_directory and check_temp_directory MCP tools. Args: action: The action to perform ('create' or 'check') Returns: Dictionary with directory information and operation results Raises: ValueError: If action is invalid or operation fails """ if action not in ['create', 'check']: raise ValueError(f"Invalid action: {action}. Must be 'create' or 'check'") # Try to get the actual temp directory from index manager, fallback to default try: index_manager = get_index_manager() temp_dir = index_manager.temp_dir if index_manager.temp_dir else os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), SETTINGS_DIR) except: temp_dir = os.path.join(tempfile.gettempdir(), SETTINGS_DIR) if action == 'create': existed_before = os.path.exists(temp_dir) try: # Use ProjectSettings to handle directory creation consistently ProjectSettings("", skip_load=True) result = ResponseFormatter.directory_info_response( temp_directory=temp_dir, exists=os.path.exists(temp_dir), is_directory=os.path.isdir(temp_dir) ) result["existed_before"] = existed_before result["created"] = not existed_before return result except (OSError, IOError, ValueError) as e: return ResponseFormatter.directory_info_response( temp_directory=temp_dir, exists=False, error=str(e) )
  • Alternative class-based helper method with similar temp directory creation logic (possibly unused for MCP).
    def create_temp_directory(self) -> Dict[str, Any]: """ Create the temporary directory for settings. Returns: Dictionary with creation results """ temp_dir = self.get_temp_directory_path() existed_before = os.path.exists(temp_dir) try: os.makedirs(temp_dir, exist_ok=True) return { "temp_directory": temp_dir, "exists": os.path.exists(temp_dir), "is_directory": os.path.isdir(temp_dir), "existed_before": existed_before, "created": not existed_before } except (OSError, IOError) as e: return { "temp_directory": temp_dir, "exists": False, "error": str(e) }
