Implementation Reference
- src/mochow_mcp_server/server.py:530-543 (handler)The primary handler function for the 'describe_table' MCP tool. Decorated with @mcp.tool() for automatic registration. It fetches table details using the connector's describe_table_info method and returns a formatted string description.
@mcp.tool() async def describe_table(table_name: str, ctx: Context = None) -> str: """ Describe table details in the Mochow instance. Args: table_name (str): Name of the table to describe. Returns: str: A string containing the details of the table. """ connector = ctx.request_context.lifespan_context.connector details = await connector.describe_table_info(table_name) return f"Table details named '{table_name}' in Mochow instance:\n{str(details)}" - Supporting helper method in the MochowConnector class that interfaces with the underlying pymochow database to retrieve and return table schema/details as a dictionary.
