Implementation Reference
- src/tools/updateUrl.js:35-70 (handler)The execute function implementing the core logic of the 'update_url' MCP tool. It calls yourlsClient.updateUrl with fallback, handles success/fallback responses, and formats MCP responses.
execute: async ({ shorturl, url, title }) => { try { // Use the updateUrl method with fallback enabled const result = await yourlsClient.updateUrl(shorturl, url, title, true); // Check for both plugin success message and fallback success messages if (result.status === 'success' || result.message === 'success: updated') { const responseData = { shorturl: result.shorturl || shorturl, url: url, message: result.message || 'Short URL updated successfully' }; // Add fallback information if applicable if (result.fallback_used) { responseData.fallback_used = true; if (result.fallback_limited) { responseData.fallback_limited = true; } if (result.fallback_limitations) { responseData.fallback_limitations = result.fallback_limitations; } } return createMcpResponse(true, responseData); } else { throw new Error(result.message || 'Unknown error'); } } catch (error) { return createMcpResponse(false, { message: error.message, shorturl: shorturl, url: url }); } } - src/tools/updateUrl.js:17-34 (schema)JSON Schema definition for the input parameters of the 'update_url' tool.
