Implementation Reference

  • Registers the 'search-problems' MCP tool, including input schema and execution handler.
    // Search problems
    server.tool(
      "search-problems",
      {
        tags: z.string().optional().describe("Tags to filter by, separated by '+' (e.g., 'array+dynamic-programming')"),
        difficulty: z.enum(["EASY", "MEDIUM", "HARD"]).optional().describe("Difficulty level"),
        limit: z.number().min(1).max(100).optional().default(20).describe("Maximum number of problems to return"),
        skip: z.number().optional().default(0).describe("Number of problems to skip")
      },
      async ({ tags, difficulty, limit, skip }) => {
        try {
          const data = await leetcodeService.searchProblems(tags, difficulty, limit, skip);
          return {
            content: [{ 
              type: "text", 
              text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)
            }]
          };
        } catch (error: unknown) {
          const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
          return {
            content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${errorMessage}` }],
            isError: true
          };
        }
      }
    );
  • Handler function for the 'search-problems' tool that calls LeetCodeService and formats response.
    async ({ tags, difficulty, limit, skip }) => {
      try {
        const data = await leetcodeService.searchProblems(tags, difficulty, limit, skip);
        return {
          content: [{ 
            type: "text", 
            text: JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)
          }]
        };
      } catch (error: unknown) {
        const errorMessage = error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error);
        return {
          content: [{ type: "text", text: `Error: ${errorMessage}` }],
          isError: true
        };
      }
    }
  • LeetCodeService.searchProblems method that executes the GraphQL search query with filters.
    /**
     * Search for problems matching criteria
     */
    async searchProblems(tags?: string, difficulty?: string, limit: number = 20, skip: number = 0) {
      return this.executeQuery(searchProblemsQuery, { 
        categorySlug: "",
        limit,
        skip,
        filters: {
          tags: tags ? tags.split("+") : [],
          difficulty: difficulty || null
        }
      });
    }
  • GraphQL query definition for searching LeetCode problems used by the tool.
    export const searchProblemsQuery = `
      query problemsetQuestionList($categorySlug: String, $limit: Int, $skip: Int, $filters: QuestionListFilterInput) {
        problemsetQuestionList: questionList(
          categorySlug: $categorySlug
          limit: $limit
          skip: $skip
          filters: $filters
        ) {
          total: totalNum
          questions: data {
            acRate
            difficulty
            freqBar
            frontendQuestionId: questionFrontendId
            isFavor
            paidOnly: isPaidOnly
            status
            title
            titleSlug
            topicTags {
              name
              id
              slug
            }
            hasSolution
            hasVideoSolution
          }
        }
      }
    `;
