Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:241-261 (handler)Handler function that executes the MongoDB aggregation pipeline on the specified collection, formats the results, and returns them in the MCP response format.async ({ database: dbName, collection: collectionName, pipeline }) => { try { const db = await ensureConnection(dbName); const collection: Collection = db.collection(collectionName); const documents = await collection.aggregate(pipeline).toArray(); const formattedOutput = formatJsonOutput(documents); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Aggregation returned ${documents.length} document(s):\n\n${formattedOutput}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Failed to execute aggregation: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`); } }
- src/index.ts:236-240 (schema)Input schema using Zod for validating database name, collection name, and aggregation pipeline array.{ database: z.string().describe("Database name"), collection: z.string().describe("Collection name"), pipeline: z.array(z.record(z.any())).describe("Aggregation pipeline as array of stage objects"), },
- src/index.ts:233-262 (registration)Registration of the 'mongo-aggregate' tool using server.tool(), including name, description, schema, and inline handler.server.tool( "mongo-aggregate", "Execute aggregation pipeline on a MongoDB collection", { database: z.string().describe("Database name"), collection: z.string().describe("Collection name"), pipeline: z.array(z.record(z.any())).describe("Aggregation pipeline as array of stage objects"), }, async ({ database: dbName, collection: collectionName, pipeline }) => { try { const db = await ensureConnection(dbName); const collection: Collection = db.collection(collectionName); const documents = await collection.aggregate(pipeline).toArray(); const formattedOutput = formatJsonOutput(documents); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: `Aggregation returned ${documents.length} document(s):\n\n${formattedOutput}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { throw new Error(`Failed to execute aggregation: ${error instanceof Error ? error.message : 'Unknown error'}`); } } );
- src/index.ts:88-100 (helper)Helper function to ensure MongoDB client connection and return the database instance, used by all tools including mongo-aggregate.async function ensureConnection(dbName: string): Promise<Db> { if (!mongoClient) { const uri = getMongoUri(); mongoClient = new MongoClient(uri); await mongoClient.connect(); } if (!databases.has(dbName)) { databases.set(dbName, mongoClient.db(dbName)); } return databases.get(dbName)!; }
- src/index.ts:64-78 (helper)Helper function to format and truncate large JSON outputs for tool responses, called by the handler.function formatJsonOutput(data: unknown): string { const truncatedData = truncateForOutput(data); let outputText = JSON.stringify(truncatedData, null, 2); outputText = outputText.replace( /"\.\.\.(\d+) more items"/g, "...$1 more items" ); outputText = outputText.replace( /"\.\.\.(\d+) more properties": "\.\.\.?"/g, "...$1 more properties" ); return outputText; }
