case 'get_category': { const categoryData = await this.getComponentsByCategory(args.category); let output = `# ${categoryData.category.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + categoryData.category.slice(1)} Components\n\n`; for (const component of categoryData.components) { output += `- **${component.name}** (${component.file})\n`; } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: output, }, ], }; } - server.js:152-163 (helper)Supporting helper method that filters and returns components for a specific category, with validation for category existence.
async getComponentsByCategory(category) { const components = await this.getComponentsList(); if (!components[category]) { throw new Error(`Category '${category}' not found. Available categories: ${Object.keys(components).join(', ')}`); } return { category: category, components: components[category] }; } - server.js:235-248 (registration)Tool registration entry in the ListTools handler, defining the tool's name, description, and input schema.
