private async createRecord(args: any) { try { const result = await this.pb.collection(args.collection).create(args.data); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(result, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: unknown) { throw new McpError( ErrorCode.InternalError, `Failed to create record: ${pocketbaseErrorMessage(error)}` ); } } - src/index.ts:205-218 (schema)Defines the input schema for the create_record tool, requiring 'collection' (string) and 'data' (object).
inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: { collection: { type: 'string', description: 'Collection name', }, data: { type: 'object', description: 'Record data', }, }, required: ['collection', 'data'], }, - src/index.ts:202-219 (registration)Registers the create_record tool in the ListTools response, including name, description, and input schema.
