- Create the directory structure
- Extract configuration into config.ts
- Create utility modules for API client and error handling
- Refactor the existing monolithic implementation into separate modules
-

Vector Search Tools
- Configure embedders
- Perform vector search
- Hybrid search
- Vector search with filters
- Create unit tests for each module
- Add integration tests for end-to-end functionality
- Update README with detailed usage instructions
- Create example scripts and configurations
- Phase 1: 1 day
- Phase 2: 2-3 days
- Phase 3: 2-3 days
- Testing and Documentation: 1-2 days
Total estimated time: 6-9 days
- @modelcontextprotocol/sdk: For MCP server implementation
- axios: For HTTP requests to Meilisearch API
- zod: For parameter validation
- Vector search functionality requires Meilisearch to have vector search enabled as an experimental feature
- The implementation will be backward compatible with existing clients
- All tools will include detailed error handling and descriptive responses
