Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the "delete_document" MCP tool. It receives index and id parameters, calls the esService.deleteDocument helper, and returns a structured response with success or error message in MCP format.
    async ({ index, id }) => {
      try {
        await esService.deleteDocument(index, id);
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Document with ID '${id}' deleted from index '${index}'.`,
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error deleting document: ${
                error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  • Zod-based input schema defining the required 'index' and 'id' string parameters with validation and descriptions for the delete_document tool.
    {
      index: z
        .string()
        .trim()
        .min(1, "Index name is required")
        .describe("Name of the Elasticsearch index"),
      id: z
        .string()
        .min(1, "Document ID is required")
        .describe("Document ID to delete"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:504-542 (registration)
    The server.tool registration call for the "delete_document" tool, specifying name, description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool(
      "delete_document",
      "Delete a document from a specific Elasticsearch index",
      {
        index: z
          .string()
          .trim()
          .min(1, "Index name is required")
          .describe("Name of the Elasticsearch index"),
        id: z
          .string()
          .min(1, "Document ID is required")
          .describe("Document ID to delete"),
      },
      async ({ index, id }) => {
        try {
          await esService.deleteDocument(index, id);
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Document with ID '${id}' deleted from index '${index}'.`,
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error deleting document: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Supporting helper method in ElasticsearchService class that performs the actual document deletion using the Elasticsearch client.
    async deleteDocument(index: string, id: string): Promise<any> {
      return await this.client.delete({ index, id });
    }
