Instructions

Args:

    workspace: The workspace containing the resource
    name: The name of the resource

Returns:
    Dict with status and result information

Implementation Reference

• src/geoserver_mcp/main.py:260-306 (handler)

  Implementation of the delete_resource tool handler, including registration via @mcp.tool() decorator. Handles deletion of various GeoServer resources (workspace, layer, datastore, style, coverage) using the GeoServer REST API.

  @mcp.tool()
  def delete_resource(resource_type: str, workspace: str, name: str) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """Delete a resource from GeoServer.
