Implementation Reference

index.js:436-459 (handler)

The createBlogPost method that executes the tool logic: constructs the post data from arguments and sends a POST request to Strapi's blog-post collection endpoint, returning the response.

async createBlogPost (headers, args) {
  const data = {
    title: args.title,
    content: args.content,
    description: args.description,
    author: args.author_id,
    category: args.category_id,
    tags: args.tag_ids,
    publishedAt: args.publishedAt || null
  }

  const response = await axios.post(
    `${this.strapiUrl}/content-manager/collection-types/api::blog-post.blog-post`,
    data,
    { headers }
  )

  return {
    content: [{
      type: 'text',
      text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2)
    }]
  }
}
