Implementation Reference

• src/tools/index.ts:282-304 (handler)

  The handler for the 'list_data_views' tool, which calls the kibanaClient and formats the output.

  case 'list_data_views': {
    const dataViews = await kibanaClient.listDataViews();
  
    return {
      content: [
        {
          type: 'text' as const,
          text: JSON.stringify(
            {
              total: dataViews.total,
              dataViews: dataViews.saved_objects.map((dv) => ({
                id: dv.id,
                title: dv.attributes.title,
                timeFieldName: dv.attributes.timeFieldName,
              })),
            },
            null,
            2
          ),
        },
      ],
    };
  }

• src/tools/index.ts:119-125 (registration)

  Tool registration for 'list_data_views' in the MCP server setup.

    name: 'list_data_views',
    description: 'List all data views (index patterns) in Kibana',

      type: 'object',
      properties: {},
    },
  },

• src/kibana/client.ts:171-180 (helper)

  The KibanaClient implementation that performs the actual API request to list index patterns (data views).

  async listDataViews(): Promise<SavedObjectsResponse<KibanaDataView>> {
    const response = await this.axiosInstance.get('/api/saved_objects/_find', {
      params: {
        type: 'index-pattern',
        per_page: 100,
      },
    });
  
    return response.data;
  }
