Implementation Reference

• src/langextract_mcp/server.py:451-502 (handler)

  The handler function that implements the generate_visualization tool. It loads the JSONL extraction results, uses langextract.visualize to create an interactive HTML visualization highlighting entities in context, handles output path (auto or specified), and returns the generated file path.
  def generate_visualization( jsonl_file_path: str, output_html_path: str | None = None ) -> dict[str, str]: """ Generate interactive HTML visualization from extraction results. Creates an interactive HTML file that shows extracted entities highlighted in their original text context. The visualization is self-contained and can handle thousands of entities with color coding and hover details. Args: jsonl_file_path: Path to the JSONL file containing extraction results output_html_path: Optional path for the HTML output (default: auto-generated) Returns: Dictionary with HTML file path and generation details Raises: ToolError: If visualization generation fails """ try: # Validate input file exists input_path = Path(jsonl_file_path) if not input_path.exists(): raise ToolError(f"Input file not found: {jsonl_file_path}") # Generate visualization using langextract html_content = lx.visualize(str(input_path)) # Determine output path if output_html_path: output_path = Path(output_html_path) else: output_path = input_path.parent / f"{input_path.stem}_visualization.html" # Ensure output directory exists output_path.parent.mkdir(parents=True, exist_ok=True) # Write HTML file with open(output_path, 'w', encoding='utf-8') as f: f.write(html_content) return { "message": "Visualization generated successfully", "html_file_path": str(output_path.absolute()), "file_size_bytes": len(html_content.encode('utf-8')) } except Exception as e: raise ToolError(f"Failed to generate visualization: {str(e)}")
