Implementation Reference

  • Handler for the 'read_webpage' tool: validates input arguments, fetches the webpage content using axios, parses HTML with cheerio to extract title and cleaned text, returns structured content as JSON or error.
    } else if (request.params.name === 'read_webpage') {
      if (!isValidWebpageArgs(request.params.arguments)) {
        throw new McpError(
          ErrorCode.InvalidParams,
          'Invalid webpage arguments'
        );
      }
    
      const { url } = request.params.arguments;
    
      try {
        const response = await axios.get(url);
        const $ = cheerio.load(response.data);
    
        // Remove script and style elements
        $('script, style').remove();
    
        const content: WebpageContent = {
          title: $('title').text().trim(),
          text: $('body').text().trim().replace(/\s+/g, ' '),
          url: url,
        };
    
        return {
          content: [
            {
              type: 'text',
              text: JSON.stringify(content, null, 2),
            },
          ],
        };
      } catch (error) {
        if (axios.isAxiosError(error)) {
          return {
            content: [
              {
                type: 'text',
                text: `Webpage fetch error: ${error.message}`,
              },
            ],
            isError: true,
          };
        }
        throw error;
      }
    }
  • src/index.ts:109-122 (registration)
    Registration of the 'read_webpage' tool in the ListToolsRequestHandler, including name, description, and input schema definition.
    {
      name: 'read_webpage',
      description: 'Fetch and extract text content from a webpage',
      inputSchema: {
        type: 'object',
        properties: {
          url: {
            type: 'string',
            description: 'URL of the webpage to read',
          },
        },
        required: ['url'],
      },
    },
  • Helper function to validate input arguments for the 'read_webpage' tool.
    const isValidWebpageArgs = (
      args: any
    ): args is { url: string } =>
      typeof args === 'object' &&
      args !== null &&
      typeof args.url === 'string';
  • TypeScript interface defining the structure of the webpage content returned by the tool.
    interface WebpageContent {
      title: string;
      text: string;
      url: string;
    }
