Implementation Reference

  • Handler function that executes the get_mappings tool: calls esService.getMappings(index), formats success/error response with JSON mappings.
    async ({ index }) => {
      try {
        const mappings = await esService.getMappings(index);
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Mappings for index: ${index}`,
            },
            {
              type: "text",
              text: JSON.stringify(mappings, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        console.error(
          `Failed to get mappings: ${
            error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
          }`
        );
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: `Error: ${
                error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
              }`,
            },
          ],
        };
      }
    }
  • Input schema for get_mappings tool: requires 'index' string parameter.
    {
      index: z
        .string()
        .trim()
        .min(1, "Index name is required")
        .describe("Name of the Elasticsearch index to get mappings for"),
    },
  • src/index.ts:144-188 (registration)
    Registration of the get_mappings tool using server.tool(name, description, schema, handler).
    server.tool(
      "get_mappings",
      "Get field mappings for a specific Elasticsearch index",
      {
        index: z
          .string()
          .trim()
          .min(1, "Index name is required")
          .describe("Name of the Elasticsearch index to get mappings for"),
      },
      async ({ index }) => {
        try {
          const mappings = await esService.getMappings(index);
    
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Mappings for index: ${index}`,
              },
              {
                type: "text",
                text: JSON.stringify(mappings, null, 2),
              },
            ],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          console.error(
            `Failed to get mappings: ${
              error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
            }`
          );
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: "text",
                text: `Error: ${
                  error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)
                }`,
              },
            ],
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Helper method in ElasticsearchService that calls the Elasticsearch indices.getMapping API and extracts mappings for the given index.
    async getMappings(index: string): Promise<any> {
      const response = await this.client.indices.getMapping({
        index,
      });
      return response[index]?.mappings || {};
    }
