delete

Instructions

Implementation Reference

• src/index.ts:842-859 (handler)

  Handler for the 'delete' tool: extracts URL and optional headers/auth, applies authentication if provided, validates required URL, performs DELETE request via makeHttpRequest helper, and returns a formatted text response with status and body.

  case "delete": {
    const url = String(args?.url || '');
    const auth = args?.auth as AuthConfig | undefined;
    const headers = applyAuthHeader(args?.headers as Record<string, string> || {}, auth);
    
    if (!url) {
      throw new Error("URL is required for DELETE request");
    }
  
    const result = await makeHttpRequest('DELETE', { url, headers });
    
    return {
      content: [{
        type: "text",
        text: `DELETE ${url}\nStatus: ${result.status} ${result.statusText}\nResponse: ${JSON.stringify(result.data, null, 2)}`
      }]
    };
  }

• src/index.ts:200-234 (registration)

  Registration of the 'delete' tool in the listTools response, defining its name, description, and input schema for URL, optional headers, and auth.

  {
    name: "delete",
    description: "Make a DELETE HTTP request",
    inputSchema: {
      type: "object",
      properties: {
        url: {
          type: "string",
          description: "The URL to make the DELETE request to"
        },
        headers: {
          type: "object",
          description: "Optional headers to include in the request",
          additionalProperties: {
            type: "string"
          }
        },
        auth: {
          type: "object",
          description: "Optional auth configuration to load a stored bearer token",
          properties: {
            folder: {
              type: "string",
              description: "Folder where tokens are stored (tokens.json)"
            },
            user_title: {
              type: "string",
              description: "User title to pick the token from storage (default: 'default')"
            }
          }
        }
      },
      required: ["url"]
    }
  },

• src/index.ts:662-770 (helper)

  Shared helper function that executes the actual HTTP request for all tools, including DELETE. Handles logging, options preparation, fetch call, response parsing, and error handling.

  async function makeHttpRequest(method: string, config: HttpRequestConfig) {

• src/index.ts:418-444 (helper)

  Helper function to apply stored bearer token Authorization header based on auth config (folder and user_title), used by delete handler.

  function applyAuthHeader(headers: Record<string, string>, auth?: AuthConfig): Record<string, string> {
    if (!auth) {
      return headers;
    }
  
    const folder = auth.folder;
    if (!folder) {
      throw new Error("auth.folder is required when using auth configuration");
    }
  
    if (headers.Authorization) {
      return headers;
    }
  
    const userTitle = auth.user_title || 'default';
    const tokens = loadStoredTokens(folder);
    const tokenEntry = tokens.find((entry) => entry.user_title_name === userTitle);
  
    if (!tokenEntry) {
      throw new Error(`No token found for user_title '${userTitle}' in folder '${folder}'`);
    }
  
    return {
      ...headers,
      Authorization: `Bearer ${tokenEntry.token}`,
    };
  }
