Implementation Reference

  • The main handler function for the 'sadd' tool, decorated with @mcp.tool() which registers it as an MCP tool. It adds a member to a Redis set with optional expiration time.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def sadd(name: str, value: str, expire_seconds: Optional[int] = None) -> str:
        """Add a value to a Redis set with an optional expiration time.
    
        Args:
            name: The Redis set key.
            value: The value to add to the set.
            expire_seconds: Optional; time in seconds after which the set should expire.
    
        Returns:
            A success message or an error message.
        """
        try:
            r = RedisConnectionManager.get_connection()
            r.sadd(name, value)
    
            if expire_seconds is not None:
                r.expire(name, expire_seconds)
    
            return f"Value '{value}' added successfully to set '{name}'." + (
                f" Expires in {expire_seconds} seconds." if expire_seconds else ""
            )
        except RedisError as e:
            return f"Error adding value '{value}' to set '{name}': {str(e)}"
  • src/tools/set.py:9-10 (registration)
    The @mcp.tool() decorator registers the sadd function as the 'sadd' MCP tool.
    @mcp.tool()
    async def sadd(name: str, value: str, expire_seconds: Optional[int] = None) -> str:
  • The function signature and docstring define the input schema (name: str, value: str, expire_seconds: Optional[int]) and output (str).
    async def sadd(name: str, value: str, expire_seconds: Optional[int] = None) -> str:
        """Add a value to a Redis set with an optional expiration time.
    
        Args:
            name: The Redis set key.
            value: The value to add to the set.
            expire_seconds: Optional; time in seconds after which the set should expire.
    
        Returns:
            A success message or an error message.
