Implementation Reference
- Core handler function that implements the git_read_files tool logic: clones the repository, reads specified files, and returns their contents as JSON.
export async function handleGitReadFiles({ repo_url, file_paths }) { try { const repoPath = await cloneRepo(repo_url); const results = {}; for (const filePath of file_paths) { const fullPath = path.join(repoPath, filePath); try { if (await fs.pathExists(fullPath)) { results[filePath] = await fs.readFile(fullPath, "utf8"); } else { results[filePath] = "Error: File not found"; } } catch (error) { results[filePath] = `Error reading file: ${error.message}`; } } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(results, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error) { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify( { error: `Failed to process repository: ${error.message}` }, null, 2 ), }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/server.js:109-129 (schema)Input schema definition for the git_read_files tool, specifying parameters repo_url and file_paths.
