Implementation Reference

src/tools/settings-tools.ts:236-248 (handler)

Handler function that parses the input value as JSON and sends a PUT request to the Meilisearch API endpoint for updating stop-words (and other specific settings).

async ({ indexUid, value }) => {
  try {
    // Parse the value string to ensure it's valid JSON
    const parsedValue = JSON.parse(value);
    
    const response = await apiClient.put(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`, parsedValue);
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
    };
  } catch (error) {
    return createErrorResponse(error);
  }
}

src/tools/settings-tools.ts:232-235 (schema)
Zod input schema defining parameters: indexUid (string) and value (JSON string for the stop-words list).
```
{
  indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
  value: z.string().describe("JSON value for the setting"),
},
```
src/tools/settings-tools.ts:195-199 (registration)
Configuration entry in the updateSettingsTools array that specifies the tool name 'update-stop-words', its API endpoint 'stop-words', and description; used by the registration loop.
```
{
  name: "update-stop-words",
  endpoint: "stop-words",
  description: "Update the stop words setting",
},
```

src/tools/settings-tools.ts:227-250 (registration)

forEach loop that registers all specific update tools, including 'update-stop-words', by calling server.tool with dynamic name, shared schema, and shared handler.

// Create an update tool for each specific setting
updateSettingsTools.forEach(({ name, endpoint, description }) => {
  server.tool(
    name,
    description,
    {
      indexUid: z.string().describe("Unique identifier of the index"),
      value: z.string().describe("JSON value for the setting"),
    },
    async ({ indexUid, value }) => {
      try {
        // Parse the value string to ensure it's valid JSON
        const parsedValue = JSON.parse(value);
        
        const response = await apiClient.put(`/indexes/${indexUid}/settings/${endpoint}`, parsedValue);
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(response.data, null, 2) }],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        return createErrorResponse(error);
      }
    }
  );
});

src/index.ts:67-67 (registration)
Top-level call to registerSettingsTools which includes the registration of 'update-stop-words' among other settings tools.
```
