respondText

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/services/textService.js:23-78 (handler)

  The actual implementation of the respondText tool. Makes an HTTP request to the Pollinations Text API with prompt, model, seed, temperature, top_p, system, and authConfig parameters. Always adds 'private=true'. Returns the generated text response.

  export async function respondText(prompt, model = "openai", seed = Math.floor(Math.random() * 1000000), temperature = null, top_p = null, system = null, authConfig = null) {
    if (!prompt || typeof prompt !== 'string') {
      throw new Error('Prompt is required and must be a string');
    }
  
    // Build the query parameters
    const queryParams = new URLSearchParams();
    if (model) queryParams.append('model', model);
    if (seed !== undefined) queryParams.append('seed', seed);
    if (temperature !== null) queryParams.append('temperature', temperature);
    if (top_p !== null) queryParams.append('top_p', top_p);
    if (system) queryParams.append('system', system);
  
    // Always set private to true
    queryParams.append('private', 'true');
  
    // Construct the URL
    const encodedPrompt = encodeURIComponent(prompt);
    const baseUrl = 'https://text.pollinations.ai';
    let url = `${baseUrl}/${encodedPrompt}`;
  
    // Add query parameters if they exist
    const queryString = queryParams.toString();
    if (queryString) {
      url += `?${queryString}`;
    }
  
    try {
      // Prepare fetch options with optional auth headers
      const fetchOptions = {};
      if (authConfig) {
        fetchOptions.headers = {};
        if (authConfig.token) {
          fetchOptions.headers['Authorization'] = `Bearer ${authConfig.token}`;
        }
        if (authConfig.referrer) {
          fetchOptions.headers['Referer'] = authConfig.referrer;
        }
      }
  
      // Fetch the text from the URL
      const response = await fetch(url, fetchOptions);
  
      if (!response.ok) {
        throw new Error(`Failed to generate text: ${response.statusText}`);
      }
  
      // Get the text response
      const textResponse = await response.text();
  
      return textResponse;
    } catch (error) {
      log('Error generating text:', error);
      throw error;
    }
  }

• pollinations-mcp-server.js:345-361 (registration)

  MCP server handler that extracts arguments (with defaults from config or env vars), calls respondText(), and returns the result as text content.

  } else if (name === 'respondText') {
    try {
      const { prompt, model = defaultConfig.text.model, seed, temperature = defaultConfig.text.temperature ? Number(defaultConfig.text.temperature) : undefined, top_p = defaultConfig.text.top_p ? Number(defaultConfig.text.top_p) : undefined, system = defaultConfig.text.system } = args;
      const result = await respondText(prompt, model, seed, temperature, top_p, system, finalAuthConfig);
      return {
        content: [
          { type: 'text', text: result }
        ]
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          { type: 'text', text: `Error generating text response: ${error.message}` }
        ],
        isError: true
      };
    }

• src/services/textSchema.js:8-41 (schema)

  JSON Schema definition for the respondText tool, defining input properties: prompt (required string), model, seed, temperature, top_p, and system.

  export const respondTextSchema = {
    name: 'respondText',
    description: 'Respond with text to a prompt using the Pollinations Text API. User-configured settings in MCP config will be used as defaults unless specifically overridden.',
    inputSchema: {
      type: 'object',
      properties: {
        prompt: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'The text prompt to generate a response for'
        },
        model: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'Model to use for text generation (default: user config or "openai"). Use listTextModels to see all available models'
        },
        seed: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Seed for reproducible results (default: random)'
        },
        temperature: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Controls randomness in the output (0.0 to 2.0, default: user config or model default)'
        },
        top_p: {
          type: 'number',
          description: 'Controls diversity via nucleus sampling (0.0 to 1.0, default: user config or model default)'
        },
        system: {
          type: 'string',
          description: 'System prompt to guide the model\'s behavior (default: user config or none)'
        }
      },
      required: ['prompt']
    }
  };

• src/schemas.js:32-44 (registration)

  Central registration of respondTextSchema in the getAllToolSchemas() array, enabling the MCP server to advertise the tool.

  export function getAllToolSchemas() {
    return [
      generateImageUrlSchema,
      generateImageSchema,
      editImageSchema,
      generateImageFromReferenceSchema,
      listImageModelsSchema,
      respondAudioSchema,
      listAudioVoicesSchema,
      respondTextSchema,
      listTextModelsSchema
    ];
  }

• src/index.js:26-29 (helper)

  Re-exports respondText from textService.js as part of the public API.

    // Text services
    respondText,
    listTextModels,
  };
