Implementation Reference

  • The handler function that implements the core logic of the 'search' tool: validates the query input, encodes it, navigates to the Google search URL using Puppeteer page.goto, and returns a success message.
    async function handleSearch(page: Page, args: any): Promise<CallToolResult> {
      const { query } = args;
      if (!query) {
        return {
          isError: true,
          content: [
            { type: "text", text: "Query parameter is required for search" },
          ],
        };
      }
      const encodedQuery = encodeURIComponent(query);
      const url = `https://www.google.com/search?q=${encodedQuery}`;
      await page.goto(url);
      return {
        isError: false,
        content: [{ type: "text", text: `Searched Google for "${query}"` }],
      };
    }
  • Defines the input schema for the 'search' tool, specifying an object with a required 'query' string property.
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          query: {
            type: "string",
            description: "The text to search for on Google",
          },
        },
        required: ["query"],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:467-481 (registration)
    The 'search' tool definition object within the TOOLS array, which is returned by the ListToolsRequestHandler to register the tool with MCP clients.
    {
      name: "search",
      description:
        "Perform a Google search by navigating to https://www.google.com/search?q=encodedQuery using the provided query text.",
      inputSchema: {
        type: "object",
        properties: {
          query: {
            type: "string",
            description: "The text to search for on Google",
          },
        },
        required: ["query"],
      },
    },
  • src/index.ts:919-921 (registration)
    Registers the 'search' tool handler in the switch statement of the main handleToolCall dispatcher function.
    case "search":
      result = await handleSearch(page, args);
      break;
