Implementation Reference
- src/code_index_mcp/server.py:139-144 (handler)MCP tool handler for 'set_project_path'. This is the entry point decorated with @mcp.tool() that registers and executes the tool logic by calling ProjectManagementService.initialize_project(path).@mcp.tool() @handle_mcp_tool_errors(return_type='str') def set_project_path(path: str, ctx: Context) -> str: """Set the base project path for indexing.""" return ProjectManagementService(ctx).initialize_project(path)
- Core business logic implementation delegated to by the MCP tool handler. Orchestrates project initialization including validation, index setup, file monitoring, and state updates.def initialize_project(self, path: str) -> str: """ Initialize a project with comprehensive business logic. This is the main business method that orchestrates the project initialization workflow, handling validation, cleanup, setup, and coordination of all project components. Args: path: Project directory path to initialize Returns: Success message with project information Raises: ValueError: If path is invalid or initialization fails """ # Business validation self._validate_initialization_request(path) # Business workflow: Execute initialization result = self._execute_initialization_workflow(path) # Business result formatting return self._format_initialization_result(result)
- Internal shallow index manager's set_project_path method, called during project initialization.def set_project_path(self, project_path: str) -> bool: with self._lock: try: if not isinstance(project_path, str) or not project_path.strip(): logger.error("Invalid project path for shallow index")
