Implementation Reference

  • The asynchronous handler function that implements the logic to create an index on a specified MySQL table. It constructs and executes a CREATE INDEX SQL statement using the provided table, index name, columns, unique flag, and optional database.
    async ({ table, indexName, columns, unique, database }) => {
      const p = await getPool();
    
      const tableName = database ? `\`${database}\`.\`${table}\`` : `\`${table}\``;
      const columnList = columns.map((c) => `\`${c}\``).join(", ");
      const uniqueStr = unique ? "UNIQUE " : "";
    
      await p.execute(
        `CREATE ${uniqueStr}INDEX \`${indexName}\` ON ${tableName} (${columnList})`
      );
    
      const output = {
        success: true,
        table,
        indexName,
        columns,
        unique: unique || false,
        database: database || null,
      };
    
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text" as const,
            text: `Index ${indexName} created successfully on ${table}`,
          },
        ],
        structuredContent: output,
      };
    }
  • Zod schema for input validation of the create_index tool parameters: table, indexName, columns (array of strings), optional unique boolean, and optional database.
    {
      table: z.string().describe("Table name"),
      indexName: z.string().describe("Index name"),
      columns: z.array(z.string()).describe("Column names to index"),
      unique: z.boolean().optional().describe("Whether this is a unique index"),
      database: z.string().optional().describe("Database name (optional)"),
  • src/index.ts:521-561 (registration)
    The server.tool() call that registers the create_index tool, including name, description, input schema, and handler function.
    server.tool(
      "create_index",
      "Create an index on a table",
      {
        table: z.string().describe("Table name"),
        indexName: z.string().describe("Index name"),
        columns: z.array(z.string()).describe("Column names to index"),
        unique: z.boolean().optional().describe("Whether this is a unique index"),
        database: z.string().optional().describe("Database name (optional)"),
      },
      async ({ table, indexName, columns, unique, database }) => {
        const p = await getPool();
    
        const tableName = database ? `\`${database}\`.\`${table}\`` : `\`${table}\``;
        const columnList = columns.map((c) => `\`${c}\``).join(", ");
        const uniqueStr = unique ? "UNIQUE " : "";
    
        await p.execute(
          `CREATE ${uniqueStr}INDEX \`${indexName}\` ON ${tableName} (${columnList})`
        );
    
        const output = {
          success: true,
          table,
          indexName,
          columns,
          unique: unique || false,
          database: database || null,
        };
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: "text" as const,
              text: `Index ${indexName} created successfully on ${table}`,
            },
          ],
          structuredContent: output,
        };
      }
    );
