Implementation Reference
- src/tools/get-file.ts:25-41 (handler)The handler function that executes the get-file tool logic: fetches file information via REST API using the provided title, handles errors, and formats the response.
async function handleGetFileTool( title: string ): Promise< CallToolResult > { let data: MwRestApiFileObject; try { data = await makeRestGetRequest<MwRestApiFileObject>( `/v1/file/${ encodeURIComponent( title ) }` ); } catch ( error ) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Failed to retrieve file data: ${ ( error as Error ).message }` } as TextContent ], isError: true }; } return { content: getFileToolResult( data ) }; } - src/tools/get-file.ts:9-23 (registration)Registers the 'get-file' tool with the MCP server, including name, description, input schema (title: string), annotations, and references the handler function.
export function getFileTool( server: McpServer ): RegisteredTool { return server.tool( 'get-file', 'Returns information about a file, including links to download the file in thumbnail, preview, and original formats.', { title: z.string().describe( 'File title' ) }, { title: 'Get file', readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false } as ToolAnnotations, async ( { title } ) => handleGetFileTool( title ) ); } - src/tools/get-file.ts:43-58 (helper)Helper function that converts the raw file data into a formatted text content array for the tool response.
function getFileToolResult( result: MwRestApiFileObject ): TextContent[] { return [ { type: 'text', text: [ `File title: ${ result.title }`, `File description URL: ${ result.file_description_url }`, `Latest revision timestamp: ${ result.latest.timestamp }`, `Latest revision user: ${ result.latest.user.name }`, `Preferred URL: ${ result.preferred.url }`, `Original URL: ${ result.original.url }`, `Thumbnail URL: ${ result.thumbnail?.url }` ].join( '\n' ) } ]; }
