Implementation Reference
- src/tools/document-tools.ts:124-151 (handler)Handler function that validates input, parses JSON documents, and sends POST request to Meilisearch API to add documents to the specified index.
async ({ indexUid, documents, primaryKey }: AddDocumentsParams) => { try { // Parse the documents string to ensure it's valid JSON const parsedDocuments = JSON.parse(documents); // Ensure documents is an array if (!Array.isArray(parsedDocuments)) { return { isError: true, content: [{ type: 'text', text: 'Documents must be a JSON array' }], }; } const params: Record<string, string> = {}; if (primaryKey) { params.primaryKey = primaryKey; } const response = await apiClient.post(`/indexes/${indexUid}/documents`, parsedDocuments, { params, }); return { content: [{ type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }], }; } catch (error) { return createErrorResponse(error); } } - src/tools/document-tools.ts:119-123 (schema)Zod input schema defining parameters for the add-documents tool: indexUid (required), documents (JSON string array), primaryKey (optional).
