private async handleListDatabases() { try { const databases = await listDatabases(); return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: JSON.stringify(databases, null, 2), }, ], }; } catch (error: any) { return { content: [ { type: 'text', text: `Error listing databases: ${error.message}`, }, ], isError: true, }; } } - src/index.ts:69-75 (schema)Input schema definition for the 'listDatabases' tool, specifying an empty object (no parameters required).
name: 'listDatabases', description: 'List all CouchDB databases', inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {}, }, }, - src/index.ts:232-233 (registration)Tool dispatch registration in the CallToolRequest handler's switch statement, routing calls to the handleListDatabases method.
case 'listDatabases': return this.handleListDatabases(); - src/connection.ts:37-39 (helper)Core utility function that performs the actual database listing using the CouchDB nano client.
export async function listDatabases(): Promise<string[]> { return couch.db.list(); }
