Implementation Reference
- src/index.ts:363-425 (handler)The handler function that validates input parameters, prepares the update payload using UpdateLinkParams type, makes a PATCH request to /links/{linkId} on the dub.co API, and returns success or error response.
private async updateLink(args: any): Promise<any> { if (!args.linkId) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'Link ID is required' ); } // Prepare update parameters const updateParams: UpdateLinkParams = {}; if (args.url) { updateParams.url = args.url; } if (args.domain) { updateParams.domain = args.domain; } if (args.key) { updateParams.key = args.key; } if (Object.keys(updateParams).length === 0) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InvalidParams, 'At least one parameter to update is required' ); } try { const response = await this.axiosInstance.patch(`/links/${args.linkId}`, updateParams); const link = response.data; return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Link updated: ${link.shortLink}\n\nDestination: ${link.url}\nID: ${link.id}`, }, ], }; } catch (error) { if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) { const axiosError = error as AxiosError<ApiErrorResponse>; const statusCode = axiosError.response?.status; const errorData = axiosError.response?.data; const errorMessage = errorData?.error || errorData?.message || axiosError.message; return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error updating link: ${statusCode} - ${errorMessage}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } throw error; } } - src/index.ts:130-155 (registration)Registration of the 'update_link' tool in the ListToolsRequestSchema handler, including name, description, and input schema defining required linkId and optional update fields.
