Implementation Reference

  • The handler for the 'get_documentation' tool. It extracts query and optional context from arguments, sends a POST request to Perplexity's /search endpoint with a prefixed query, and returns the JSON response as text content.
    case "get_documentation": { const { query, context = "" } = request.params.arguments as { query: string; context?: string; }; const response = await this.axiosInstance.post('/search', { query: `documentation ${query} ${context}` }); return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2), }, ], }; }
  • Input schema definition for the 'get_documentation' tool, specifying query (required) and optional context parameters.
    inputSchema: { type: "object", properties: { query: { type: "string", description: "The technology, library, or API to get documentation for", }, context: { type: "string", description: "Additional context or specific aspects to focus on", }, }, required: ["query"], },
  • index.ts:143-163 (registration)
