Implementation Reference

• src/geoserver_mcp/main.py:133-170 (handler)

  The core handler function for the 'create_workspace' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool() for registration. It checks if the workspace exists, creates it via GeoServer REST API if not, and returns status information.

  @mcp.tool()
  def create_workspace(workspace: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """Create a new workspace in GeoServer.
