Implementation Reference
- src/tools.ts:235-259 (handler)Main handler function for the 'list_prompts' tool. Fetches prompts from file operations, handles empty list, formats the list, and returns as MCP CallToolResult.private async handleListPrompts(): Promise<CallToolResult> { const prompts = await this.fileOps.listPrompts(); if (prompts.length === 0) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: 'No prompts available', } as TextContent, ], }; } const text = this.formatPromptsList(prompts); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text, } as TextContent, ], }; }
- src/tools.ts:59-66 (schema)Tool schema definition including name, description, and empty input schema (no parameters required).{ name: 'list_prompts', description: 'List all available prompts', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, },
- src/fileOperations.ts:37-45 (helper)Core helper function that lists all prompts by initializing and querying the prompt cache.async listPrompts(): Promise<PromptInfo[]> { // Initialize cache and file watcher if not already done if (this.cache.isEmpty()) { await this.cache.initializeCache(); this.cache.initializeFileWatcher(); } return this.cache.getAllPrompts(); }
- src/tools.ts:142-143 (registration)Tool registration in the switch dispatcher within handleToolCall method.case 'list_prompts': return await this.handleListPrompts();
- src/tools.ts:330-347 (helper)Helper function to format the list of prompts into a readable markdown display.private formatPromptsList(prompts: PromptInfo[]): string { const formatPrompt = (prompt: PromptInfo): string => { let output = `## ${prompt.name}\n`; if (Object.keys(prompt.metadata).length > 0) { output += '**Metadata:**\n'; Object.entries(prompt.metadata).forEach(([key, value]) => { output += `- ${key}: ${value}\n`; }); output += '\n'; } output += `**Preview:** ${prompt.preview}\n`; return output; }; return `# Available Prompts\n\n${prompts.map(formatPrompt).join('\n---\n\n')}`; }
