Implementation Reference
- The run_tool method of ListCommandsToolHandler that executes the core logic: calls api.list_commands() and returns the JSON list of Obsidian commands.
def run_tool(self, args: dict) -> Sequence[TextContent | ImageContent | EmbeddedResource]: commands = api.list_commands() return [ TextContent( type="text", text=json.dumps(commands, indent=2) ) ] - The get_tool_description method defining the tool schema: no input parameters required.
def get_tool_description(self): return Tool( name=self.name, description="List all available commands you can run in obsidian interface. For commands used on specific notes, make sure to open a note first.", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": {}, } ) - src/mcp_obsidian_advanced/server.py:26-43 (registration)TOOL_MAPPING dictionary that maps the tool name 'obsidian_list_commands' (via constant) to its handler class ListCommandsToolHandler, used during registration.
TOOL_MAPPING = { tools.TOOL_LIST_FILES_IN_DIR: tools.ListFilesInDirToolHandler, tools.TOOL_SIMPLE_SEARCH: tools.SearchToolHandler, tools.TOOL_PATCH_CONTENT: tools.PatchContentToolHandler, tools.TOOL_PUT_CONTENT: tools.PutContentToolHandler, tools.TOOL_APPEND_CONTENT: tools.AppendContentToolHandler, tools.TOOL_DELETE_FILE: tools.DeleteFileToolHandler, tools.TOOL_COMPLEX_SEARCH: tools.ComplexSearchToolHandler, tools.TOOL_BATCH_GET_FILES: tools.BatchGetFilesToolHandler, tools.TOOL_PERIODIC_NOTES: tools.PeriodicNotesToolHandler, tools.TOOL_RECENT_PERIODIC_NOTES: tools.RecentPeriodicNotesToolHandler, tools.TOOL_RECENT_CHANGES: tools.RecentChangesToolHandler, tools.TOOL_UNDERSTAND_VAULT: tools.UnderstandVaultToolHandler, tools.TOOL_GET_ACTIVE_NOTE: tools.GetActiveNoteToolHandler, tools.TOOL_OPEN_FILES: tools.OpenFilesToolHandler, tools.TOOL_LIST_COMMANDS: tools.ListCommandsToolHandler, tools.TOOL_EXECUTE_COMMANDS: tools.ExecuteCommandsToolHandler, } - The Obsidian class method list_commands() that makes the HTTP request to Obsidian API to fetch the list of commands, called by the tool handler.
