Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the core logic of the describe_table tool. It ensures a database connection, validates the table argument, executes a MySQL DESCRIBE query, and returns the table structure as JSON.
    private async handleDescribeTable(args: any) {
      await this.ensureConnection();
    
      if (!args.table) {
        throw new McpError(ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Table name is required');
      }
    
      try {
        const [rows] = await this.connection!.query('DESCRIBE ??', [args.table]);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(rows, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        throw new McpError(
          ErrorCode.InternalError,
          `Failed to describe table: ${getErrorMessage(error)}`
        );
      }
    }
  • Input schema defining the parameters for the describe_table tool, requiring a 'table' string.
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        table: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Table name',
        },
      },
      required: ['table'],
    },
  • src/index.ts:310-323 (registration)
    Tool registration in the ListTools response, including name, description, and schema.
    {
      name: 'describe_table',
      description: 'Get table structure',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          table: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'Table name',
          },
        },
        required: ['table'],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:545-546 (registration)
    Dispatch case in the CallToolRequestSchema handler that routes to the describe_table handler.
    case 'describe_table':
      return await this.handleDescribeTable(request.params.arguments);
