Implementation Reference

src/index.ts:665-668 (handler)
The handler that implements the core logic for the 'buddypress_update_xprofile_data' tool. It destructures the input arguments (field_id, user_id, value) and calls the buddypressRequest helper to perform a PUT request to the BuddyPress XProfile API endpoint `/xprofile/{field_id}/data/{user_id}` with the value.
```
else if (name === 'buddypress_update_xprofile_data') {
  const { field_id, user_id, value } = args as any;
  result = await buddypressRequest(`/xprofile/${field_id}/data/${user_id}`, 'PUT', { value });
}
```

src/index.ts:353-361 (schema)

JSON Schema defining the input parameters and validation for the tool: field_id (required number), user_id (required number), value (required string).

inputSchema: {
  type: 'object',
  properties: {
    field_id: { type: 'number', description: 'Field ID', required: true },
    user_id: { type: 'number', description: 'User ID', required: true },
    value: { type: 'string', description: 'Field value', required: true },
  },
  required: ['field_id', 'user_id', 'value'],
},

src/index.ts:350-362 (registration)

The tool registration object added to the 'tools' array, which is returned by the ListTools handler. Includes name, description, and inputSchema.

{
  name: 'buddypress_update_xprofile_data',
  description: 'Update XProfile data for a specific user and field',
  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: {
      field_id: { type: 'number', description: 'Field ID', required: true },
      user_id: { type: 'number', description: 'User ID', required: true },
      value: { type: 'string', description: 'Field value', required: true },
    },
    required: ['field_id', 'user_id', 'value'],
  },
},

src/index.ts:18-46 (helper)

Shared helper utility function that makes authenticated HTTP requests to the BuddyPress REST API (v2). Used by the tool handler to perform the actual API call.

async function buddypressRequest(
  endpoint: string,
  method: string = 'GET',
  body?: any
): Promise<any> {
  const url = `${BUDDYPRESS_URL}/wp-json/buddypress/v2${endpoint}`;
  const auth = Buffer.from(`${BUDDYPRESS_USERNAME}:${BUDDYPRESS_PASSWORD}`).toString('base64');

  const options: any = {
    method,
    headers: {
      'Authorization': `Basic ${auth}`,
      'Content-Type': 'application/json',
    },
  };

  if (body && method !== 'GET') {
    options.body = JSON.stringify(body);
  }

  const response = await fetch(url, options);

  if (!response.ok) {
    const errorText = await response.text();
    throw new Error(`BuddyPress API Error (${response.status}): ${errorText}`);
  }

  return await response.json();
}
