build-toolset
Create and customize a personalized toolset by selecting specific tools for your workflow. Define names and include tools by their identifiers to streamline tasks and improve efficiency on the hypertool-mcp server.
Instructions
Build and save a custom toolset by selecting specific tools. Like assembling tools from a workshop - pick the exact tools you need for a specific task or workflow. You must specify which tools to include. Each tool must specify either namespacedName or refId for identification. Example: {name: 'dev-essentials', tools: [{namespacedName: 'git.status'}, {namespacedName: 'docker.ps'}], autoEquip: true} creates and immediately equips a development toolset.
Input Schema
TableJSON Schema
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| autoEquip | No | Automatically equip this toolset after creation (default: false) | |
| description | No | Optional description of what this toolset is for (e.g., 'Essential tools for web development') | |
| name | Yes | Name for the new toolset. Use lowercase with hyphens (e.g., 'dev-essentials', 'git-workflow', 'debug-kit') | |
| tools | Yes | Array of tools to include in the toolset. Each tool must specify either namespacedName or refId for identification. Use list-available-tools to see available options. |
Implementation Reference
- The main handler function for the 'build-toolset' MCP tool. It receives input arguments, calls toolsetManager.buildToolset to perform the actual creation, handles auto-equip, and returns the result.
handler: async (args: any) => { if (deps.discoveryEngine) { const result = await deps.toolsetManager.buildToolset( args?.name || "", args?.tools || [], { description: args?.description, autoEquip: args?.autoEquip, } ); // Auto-exit to normal mode if autoEquip succeeded if (args?.autoEquip && result.meta?.success && onModeChangeRequest) { onModeChangeRequest(); } return { content: [ { type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(result), }, ], structuredContent: result, }; } else { return { content: [ { type: "text", text: "❌ **Tool discovery not available**\n\nDiscovery engine is not initialized. Server may not be fully started.", }, ], }; } - Tool definition including input schema for validation and output schema reference. Defines the structure expected for input parameters like name, tools array, description, and autoEquip.
