Searchclaw

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:93-98 (registration)

  Registration of the 'images' tool using server.tool() with name, description, input schema, and handler function

  server.tool(
    "images",
    "Search for images using SearchClaw. Returns image URLs and metadata. Costs 1 credit.",
    { q: z.string().describe("Image search query") },
    async ({ q }) => jsonResult(await apiPost("/search/images", { q }))
  );

• src/index.ts:97-97 (handler)

  Handler function for 'images' tool - takes query parameter 'q' and calls SearchClaw API POST /search/images endpoint

  async ({ q }) => jsonResult(await apiPost("/search/images", { q }))

• src/index.ts:96-96 (schema)

  Input schema definition for 'images' tool using Zod - validates that 'q' parameter is a string

  { q: z.string().describe("Image search query") },

• src/index.ts:41-59 (helper)

  Helper function that performs POST requests to the SearchClaw API with timeout handling and error management

  async function apiPost(path: string, body: Record<string, unknown>) {
    const controller = new AbortController();
    const timeout = setTimeout(() => controller.abort(), 30000);
    try {
      const response = await fetch(`${API_BASE}${path}`, {
        method: "POST",
        headers: { ...headers, "Content-Type": "application/json" },
        body: JSON.stringify(body),
        signal: controller.signal,
      });
      if (!response.ok) {
        const text = await response.text();
        throw new Error(`SearchClaw API error ${response.status}: ${text}`);
      }
      return response.json();
    } finally {
      clearTimeout(timeout);
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:61-63 (helper)

  Helper function that formats API response data into MCP tool result format with JSON stringification

  function jsonResult(data: unknown) {
    return { content: [{ type: "text" as const, text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2) }] };
  }
