Implementation Reference
- src/tools/settings-tools.ts:205-209 (registration)Configuration object in the updateSettingsTools array that defines the name, endpoint, and description for registering the 'update-distinct-attribute' tool.
{ name: "update-distinct-attribute", endpoint: "distinct-attribute", description: "Update the distinct attribute setting", }, - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:233-235 (schema)Shared Zod input schema for all update tools, including 'update-distinct-attribute': requires indexUid (string) and value (stringified JSON).
indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), value: z.string().describe("JSON value for the setting"), }, - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:236-249 (handler)Handler function shared by update tools: parses the JSON value input, performs a PUT request to the Meilisearch API at `/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}` (where endpoint is 'distinct-attribute' for this tool), and returns the JSON response or handles errors.
async ({ indexUid, value }) => { try { // Parse the value string to ensure it's valid JSON const parsedValue = JSON.parse(value); const response = await apiClient.put(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`, parsedValue); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } ); - src/tools/settings-tools.ts:228-250 (registration)The forEach loop that dynamically registers the 'update-distinct-attribute' tool (and other update tools) on the MCP server using server.tool, incorporating the configuration, schema, and handler.
updateSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => { server.tool( name, description, { indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"), value: z.string().describe("JSON value for the setting"), }, async ({ indexUid, value }) => { try { // Parse the value string to ensure it's valid JSON const parsedValue = JSON.parse(value); const response = await apiClient.put(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`, parsedValue); return { content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } ); });
