Implementation Reference
- meraki-mcp-dynamic.py:563-583 (handler)The main handler for search_methods tool. Searches _METHOD_INDEX (grouped by SDK section) for methods matching the keyword (case-insensitive). Returns a JSON string with matching results grouped by section and total match count.
@mcp.tool() async def search_methods(keyword: str) -> str: """ Search for Meraki API methods by keyword Args: keyword: Search term (e.g., 'admin', 'firewall', 'ssid', 'event') """ keyword_lower = keyword.lower() results = { section: [m for m in methods if keyword_lower in m.lower()] for section, methods in _METHOD_INDEX.items() } results = {k: v for k, v in results.items() if v} return json.dumps({ "keyword": keyword, "results": results, "total_matches": sum(len(v) for v in results.values()), "usage": "Use call_meraki_api(section='...', method='...', parameters='{...}')" }, indent=2) - meraki-mcp-dynamic.py:563-570 (schema)Input schema: keyword (str) is the only parameter. No return type schema beyond str.
