Implementation Reference

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:155-164 (handler)

  Handler function that executes the tool logic: fetches the 'distinct-attribute' setting from Meilisearch API for the given index and returns JSON response.

  async ({ indexUid }) => {
    try {
      const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`);
      return {
        content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return createErrorResponse(error);
    }
  }

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:152-154 (schema)

  Input schema using Zod: requires 'indexUid' string parameter.

  {
    indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
  },

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:148-166 (registration)

  Dynamic registration of the 'get-distinct-attribute' tool via loop over specificSettingsTools array, using server.tool(name, description, schema, handler).

  specificSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => {
    server.tool(
      name,
      description,
      {
        indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
      },
      async ({ indexUid }) => {
        try {
          const response = await apiClient.get(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`);
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
          };
        } catch (error) {
          return createErrorResponse(error);
        }
      }
    );
  });

• src/tools/settings-tools.ts:125-129 (helper)

  Configuration entry in specificSettingsTools array defining name, endpoint, and description for the tool.

  {
    name: "get-distinct-attribute",
    endpoint: "distinct-attribute",
    description: "Get the distinct attribute setting",
  },

• src/index.ts:67-67 (registration)

  Top-level call to registerSettingsTools on the main MCP server instance, which includes registration of get-distinct-attribute.

  registerSettingsTools(server);
