Implementation Reference
- src/doc-handler.ts:135-181 (handler)Core handler function for the 'search_docs' tool. Ensures documentation sections are discovered, iterates through sections, fetches content, searches for query matches, extracts snippets, and formats results as text response.
async searchDocs(query: string): Promise<CallToolResult> { if (!query) { throw new Error('Search query is required'); } await this.ensureSectionsLoaded(); const results: SearchResult[] = []; const sectionsToSearch = this.sections.length > 0 ? this.sections : [ { path: '/getting-started/quickstart', title: 'Quickstart' }, { path: '/concepts/components', title: 'Components' }, { path: '/api-reference/react-hooks', title: 'React Hooks' }, ]; for (const section of sectionsToSearch) { try { const response = await this.fetchDocs(section.path); const textContent = response.content[0] && 'text' in response.content[0] ? response.content[0].text : ''; const content = String(textContent || '').toLowerCase(); if (content.includes(query.toLowerCase())) { results.push({ path: section.path, title: section.title, category: section.category, snippet: this.extractSnippet(content, query) }); } } catch (error) { console.error(`Error searching ${section.path}:`, error instanceof Error ? error.message : String(error)); } } return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: results.length > 0 ? `Found ${results.length} results for "${query}":\n\n${results.map(r => `**${r.title}** (${r.path})${r.category ? ` [${r.category}]` : ''}\n${r.snippet}\n` ).join('\n')}` : `No results found for "${query}"`, }, ], }; } - src/server.ts:50-62 (registration)Tool registration in the listTools response, including name, description, and input schema for 'search_docs'.
