Meilisearch MCP Server

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/meilisearch_mcp/server.py:653-664 (handler)

  Executes the 'create-key' tool by calling KeyManager.create_key with parsed arguments and returns the result.

  elif name == "create-key":
      key = self.meili_client.keys.create_key(
          {
              "description": arguments.get("description"),
              "actions": arguments["actions"],
              "indexes": arguments["indexes"],
              "expiresAt": arguments.get("expiresAt"),
          }
      )
      return [
          types.TextContent(type="text", text=f"Created API key: {key}")
      ]

• src/meilisearch_mcp/server.py:314-328 (registration)

  Registers the 'create-key' tool in the MCP server's list_tools handler, defining its name, description, and input schema.

  types.Tool(
      name="create-key",
      description="Create a new API key",
      inputSchema={
          "type": "object",
          "properties": {
              "description": {"type": "string"},
              "actions": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
              "indexes": {"type": "array", "items": {"type": "string"}},
              "expiresAt": {"type": "string"},
          },
          "required": ["actions", "indexes"],
          "additionalProperties": False,
      },
  ),

• src/meilisearch_mcp/keys.py:26-31 (helper)

  KeyManager helper method that wraps the Meilisearch client's create_key method to create a new API key.

  def create_key(self, options: Dict[str, Any]) -> Dict[str, Any]:
      """Create a new API key"""
      try:
          return self.client.create_key(options)
      except Exception as e:
          raise Exception(f"Failed to create key: {str(e)}")
