Create Directory

Implementation Reference

• src/markdown_editor/tools/file_ops.py:55-68 (handler)

  Core implementation of the create_directory tool: validates path safety using _validate_path, resolves absolute path, creates directory with os.makedirs (exist_ok=True), returns success dict or error.

  async def create_directory(self, path: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """Create directory"""
      # Validate path safety
      error = self._validate_path(path)
      if error:
          return {"error": error}
  
      try:
          abs_path = self._get_abs_path(path)
          os.makedirs(abs_path, exist_ok=True)
          return {"success": True, "path": path}
      except Exception as e:
          return {"error": str(e)}

• src/markdown_editor/server.py:444-465 (registration)

  Registers the create_directory tool in the MCP server's list_tools() handler, defining name, title, description (implied), inputSchema (path: string required), and outputSchema.

  Tool(
      name="create_directory",
      title="Create Directory",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "path": {
                  "type": "string",
                  "examples": ["./new_folder", "./docs/archive"],
              }
          },
          "required": ["path"],
          "additionalProperties": False,
      },
      outputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "success": {"type": "boolean"},
              "path": {"type": "string"},
          },
      },
  ),

• src/markdown_editor/server.py:447-464 (schema)

  JSON schema definitions for create_directory tool inputs (object with required 'path' string) and outputs (object with 'success' boolean and 'path' string).

  inputSchema={
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
          "path": {
              "type": "string",
              "examples": ["./new_folder", "./docs/archive"],
          }
      },
      "required": ["path"],
      "additionalProperties": False,
  },
  outputSchema={
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
          "success": {"type": "boolean"},
          "path": {"type": "string"},
      },
  },

• src/markdown_editor/tools/file_ops.py:117-118 (helper)

  Standalone async wrapper function that delegates to the singleton FileOperationsTool instance's create_directory method.

  async def create_directory(path: str):
      return await _instance.create_directory(path)

• src/markdown_editor/server.py:533-539 (helper)

  Dispatch logic in MCP call_tool handler: calls the create_directory function and wraps result in CallToolResult with success message.

  elif name == "create_directory":
      res = await create_directory(arguments["path"])
      return CallToolResult(
          content=[TextContent(type="text", text="Directory created")],
          structuredContent=res,
          isError="error" in res,
      )
