Implementation Reference
- src/sketchup_mcp/server.py:343-359 (handler)The main handler function for the 'get_selection' MCP tool. It establishes a connection to SketchUp via socket, sends a JSON-RPC 'tools/call' request to SketchUp's 'get_selection' tool with empty arguments, and returns the JSON-encoded result or an error message.
@mcp.tool() def get_selection(ctx: Context) -> str: """Get currently selected components""" try: sketchup = get_sketchup_connection() result = sketchup.send_command( method="tools/call", params={ "name": "get_selection", "arguments": {} }, request_id=ctx.request_id ) return json.dumps(result) except Exception as e: return f"Error getting selection: {str(e)}"
