Implementation Reference
- src/quickbase/client.ts:193-199 (handler)Core handler function that implements bulk record creation by POSTing an array of records to QuickBase API /records endpoint and extracting the new record IDs.
async createRecords(tableId: string, records: QuickBaseRecord[]): Promise<number[]> { const response = await this.axios.post('/records', { to: tableId, data: records.map(record => record.fields) }); return response.data.data.map((record: any) => record['3'].value); } - src/index.ts:297-312 (handler)MCP server switch case handler that validates input arguments and delegates to QuickBaseClient.createRecords, returning success message with created record IDs.
case 'quickbase_bulk_create_records': if (!args || typeof args !== 'object') { throw new Error('Invalid arguments'); } const recordIds = await this.qbClient.createRecords( args.tableId as string, args.records as any[] ); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Created ${recordIds.length} records: ${recordIds.join(', ')}`, }, ], }; - src/tools/index.ts:329-349 (schema)Tool definition including name, description, and input schema for validating parameters: tableId and array of records with fields.
