Implementation Reference

• mcp_server_bwt/main.py:459-474 (handler)

  The handler function for the 'get_link_counts' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool for registration. It takes a site_url, makes an API request to Bing Webmaster Tools' GetLinkCounts endpoint, processes the response by ensuring the __type field is present, and returns the link counts.

  @mcp.tool(name="get_link_counts", description="Get inbound link counts for a site.")
  async def get_link_counts(
      site_url: Annotated[str, "The URL of the site"]
  ) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """
      Get inbound link counts for a site.
  
      Args:
          site_url: The URL of the site
  
      Returns:
          Link count statistics
      """
      async with api:
          counts = await api._make_request(f"GetLinkCounts?siteUrl={site_url}")
          return api._ensure_type_field(counts, "LinkCounts")

• mcp_server_bwt/main.py:112-120 (helper)

  Helper method used by the tool to ensure the response data has the required __type field for MCP compatibility.

  def _ensure_type_field(self, data: Any, type_name: str) -> Any:
      """Ensure __type field is present for MCP compatibility."""
      if isinstance(data, list):
          for item in data:
              if isinstance(item, dict) and "__type" not in item:
                  item["__type"] = f"{type_name}:#Microsoft.Bing.Webmaster.Api"
