Implementation Reference
- server.js:128-144 (handler)The 'ensureCollectionExists' function checks for a document collection existence in PocketBase and creates it if it is missing.
async function ensureCollectionExists() { await authenticateWhenNeeded(); try { const collection = await pb.collections.getOne(DOCUMENTS_COLLECTION); debugLog('âś… Collection exists', { name: DOCUMENTS_COLLECTION, id: collection.id }); return { exists: true, collection, created: false }; } catch (error) { if (error.status === 404) { debugLog('đź“ť Creating collection', { name: DOCUMENTS_COLLECTION }); const newCollection = await pb.collections.create(getDocumentsCollectionSchema()); debugLog('âś… Collection created successfully', { name: DOCUMENTS_COLLECTION, id: newCollection.id }); return { exists: true, collection: newCollection, created: true }; } else { throw error; } } } - server.js:635-655 (registration)The 'ensure_collection' MCP tool is registered using server.tool, calling ensureCollectionExists internally.
server.tool( 'ensure_collection', 'Check if the documents collection exists and create it if needed', {}, async () => { try { await authenticateWhenNeeded(); const result = await ensureCollectionExists(); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: result.created ? `âś… Documents collection "${DOCUMENTS_COLLECTION}" created successfully!\n\n` + `**Collection Details:**\n` + `- ID: ${result.collection.id}\n` + `- Name: ${result.collection.name}\n` + `- Type: ${result.collection.type}\n` + `- Schema Fields: ${result.collection.schema?.length || 0}\n` + `- Created: ${new Date(result.collection.created).toLocaleString()}`
