Implementation Reference
- src/handlers/tool-handlers.ts:247-298 (handler)Registers and implements the 'webdav_copy_remote_item' MCP tool handler. Defines input schema with Zod, performs pre-copy validation (source/dest existence, overwrite check), executes the copy via WebDAVService, and returns formatted success/error responses.
'webdav_copy_remote_item', 'Copy a file or directory to a new location on a remote WebDAV server', { fromPath: z.string().min(1, 'Source path must not be empty'), toPath: z.string().min(1, 'Destination path must not be empty'), overwrite: z.boolean().optional().default(false) }, async ({ fromPath, toPath, overwrite }) => { try { // Check if source exists const sourceExists = await webdavService.exists(fromPath); if (!sourceExists) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error: Source path does not exist at ${fromPath}` }], isError: true }; } // Check if destination exists and respect overwrite flag const destExists = await webdavService.exists(toPath); if (destExists && !overwrite) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error: Destination already exists at ${toPath}. Use overwrite=true to replace it.` }], isError: true }; } await webdavService.copy(fromPath, toPath); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Successfully copied ${fromPath} to ${toPath}` }] }; } catch (error) { return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: `Error copying: ${(error as Error).message}` }], isError: true }; } } ); - Zod input schema for the webdav_copy_remote_item tool parameters.
{ fromPath: z.string().min(1, 'Source path must not be empty'), toPath: z.string().min(1, 'Destination path must not be empty'), overwrite: z.boolean().optional().default(false) }, - Core copy implementation in WebDAVService class. Normalizes paths, logs operation, performs copy using WebDAVClient.copyFile, validates response, handles errors.
