Implementation Reference
- couchdb_mcp_server.py:378-401 (handler)The _update_document method implements the actual logic for updating a CouchDB document. It retrieves the database, ensures the document has _id, saves it using db.save(), and handles various error cases (KeyError for missing database, ResourceConflict for revision conflicts, and general exceptions). Returns the updated document id and revision.
