Implementation Reference

  • Implements the core logic to open a file with a specified macOS application using the 'open -a' command.
    export async function openWithApp(
      appName: string,
      filePath: string
    ): Promise<boolean> {
      try {
        const fullAppName = appName.endsWith(".app") ? appName : `${appName}.app`;
        const appPath = join("/Applications", fullAppName);
        await execAsync(`open -a "${appPath}" "${filePath}"`);
        return true;
      } catch (error) {
        console.error("Error opening file with application:", error);
        return false;
      }
    }
  • Zod schema for input validation of the open_with_app tool.
    export const OpenWithAppInputSchema = {
      appName: z.string(),
      filePath: z.string(),
    };
  • tools.ts:76-101 (registration)
    Registers the open_with_app tool with name, description, annotations, schema reference, and callback that invokes the handler.
    const openWithAppConfig: ToolConfig<typeof OpenWithAppInputSchema> = {
      name: "open_with_app",
      description: "Open a file or folder with a specific application",
      annotations: {
        title: "用應用程式開啟檔案",
        readOnlyHint: false, // 會修改系統狀態
        destructiveHint: false, // 不執行破壞性操作
        idempotentHint: false, // 重複開啟可能有不同結果
        openWorldHint: true, // 與外部應用程式和檔案互動
      },
      schema: OpenWithAppInputSchema,
      cb: async (args) => {
        const success = await openWithApp(args.appName, args.filePath);
        const toolResult: CallToolResult = {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text",
              text: success
                ? "File opened successfully"
                : "Failed to open file with application",
            },
          ],
        };
        return toolResult;
      },
    };
