Implementation Reference

  • MCP tool handler for 'delete-index': executes deletion via IndexManager and returns success confirmation.
    elif name == "delete-index":
        result = self.meili_client.indexes.delete_index(arguments["uid"])
        return [
            types.TextContent(
                type="text",
                text=f"Successfully deleted index: {arguments['uid']}",
            )
        ]
  • Registers the 'delete-index' tool in the list_tools handler, including its description and input schema (requires 'uid' string).
    types.Tool(
        name="delete-index",
        description="Delete a Meilisearch index",
        inputSchema={
            "type": "object",
            "properties": {"uid": {"type": "string"}},
            "required": ["uid"],
            "additionalProperties": False,
        },
    ),
  • IndexManager helper method that wraps the official Meilisearch client's delete_index(uid).
    def delete_index(self, uid: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
        """Delete an index"""
        try:
            return self.client.delete_index(uid)
        except Exception as e:
            raise Exception(f"Failed to delete index: {str(e)}")
