Implementation Reference
- server.py:32-58 (handler)The handler function for the 'list_templates' tool. It scans the templates directory, categorizes Markdown files using get_template_info, groups them by type (style_guides, best_practices) and language, sorts the lists, and returns the structured dictionary or an error.
@mcp.tool() def list_templates() -> Dict[str, Dict[str, List[str]]]: """List all available templates grouped by type and language""" template_dir = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), "templates") templates = { "style_guides": {"languages": [], "files": []}, "best_practices": {"languages": [], "files": []} } try: for filename in os.listdir(template_dir): if filename.endswith('.md'): template_info = get_template_info(filename) if template_info: template_type = template_info["type"] templates[template_type]["languages"].append(template_info["language"]) templates[template_type]["files"].append(filename) # Sort the lists for consistent output for template_type in templates: templates[template_type]["languages"].sort() templates[template_type]["files"].sort() return templates except Exception as e: return {"error": f"Failed to list templates: {str(e)}"} - server.py:9-19 (helper)Helper function used by list_templates to parse filename and determine language and template type (style_guides or best_practices) using a regex pattern.
