use_database

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:507-541 (handler)

  The handler for the 'use_database' tool. It extracts the database name from arguments, validates it, executes a 'USE ??' query with the name as parameter, updates the connectionConfig.database, and returns a success message or error.

  case "use_database": {
    try {
      const dbName = request.params.arguments?.database as string;
  
      if (!dbName) {
        throw new Error("Database name is required");
      }
  
      await executeQuery("USE ??", [dbName]);
      connectionConfig.database = dbName;
  
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text: `Successfully switched to database: ${dbName}`
          }
        ],
        isError: false
      };
    } catch (error) {
      return {
        content: [
          {
            type: "text",
            text:
              error instanceof Error
                ? error.message
                : "Unknown error occurred"
          }
        ],
        isError: true
      };
    }
  }

• src/index.ts:245-258 (schema)

  Tool schema definition including name, description, and input schema for 'use_database' tool, registered in the ListTools response.

    name: "use_database",
    description: "Switch to a different database.",
    inputSchema: {

      properties: {
        database: {
