Implementation Reference
- Generic handler for all MCP tools, including 'tables_db_update'. Retrieves the tool's bound method (TablesDB.update) from the registry and executes it with the provided arguments, returning the result as text content.
@server.call_tool() async def handle_call_tool( name: str, arguments: dict | None ) -> list[types.TextContent | types.ImageContent | types.EmbeddedResource]: try: tool_info = tools_manager.get_tool(name) if not tool_info: raise McpError(f"Tool {name} not found") bound_method = tool_info["function"] result = bound_method(**(arguments or {})) if hasattr(result, 'to_dict'): result_dict = result.to_dict() return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result_dict))] return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=str(result))] except AppwriteException as e: return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Appwrite Error: {str(e)}")] except Exception as e: return [types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Error: {str(e)}")] - Dynamically generates the input JSON Schema for each tool, including 'tables_db_update', based on the underlying Appwrite method's type hints, signature, and docstring.
tool_definition = Tool( name=tool_name, description=f"{docstring.short_description or "No description available"}", inputSchema={ "type": "object", "properties": properties, "required": required } ) - src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:70-72 (registration)Explicit registration of the TablesDB service as 'tables_db' when --tables-db flag is provided, making its methods (including 'update') available as prefixed tools like 'tables_db_update'.
if args.tables_db: tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db")) if args.users: - src/mcp_server_appwrite/server.py:92-95 (registration)Default registration of the 'tables_db' service if no specific services are enabled via CLI flags.
if not any([args.databases, args.tables_db, args.users, args.teams, args.storage, args.functions, args.messaging, args.locale, args.avatars, args.sites]): tools_manager.register_service(Service(TablesDB(client), "tables_db")) - Constructs the MCP tool name by prefixing the service name ('tables_db') to the method name ('update'), resulting in 'tables_db_update'.
# Get the overridden name if it exists tool_name = self._method_name_overrides.get(name, f"{self.service_name}_{name}")
