I want to build this as a Desktop Extension, abbreviated as "DXT". Please follow these steps:
|
|
|
|
1. **Read the specifications thoroughly:**
|
|
- https://github.com/anthropics/dxt/blob/main/README.md - DXT architecture overview, capabilities, and integration patterns
|
|
- https://github.com/anthropics/dxt/blob/main/MANIFEST.md - Complete extension manifest structure and field definitions
|
|
- https://github.com/anthropics/dxt/tree/main/examples - Reference implementations including a "Hello World" example
|
|
|
|
2. **Create a proper extension structure:**
|
|
- Generate a valid manifest.json following the MANIFEST.md spec
|
|
- Implement an MCP server using @modelcontextprotocol/sdk with proper tool definitions
|
|
- Include proper error handling and timeout management
|
|
|
|
3. **Follow best development practices:**
|
|
- Implement proper MCP protocol communication via stdio transport
|
|
- Structure tools with clear schemas, validation, and consistent JSON responses
|
|
- Make use of the fact that this extension will be running locally
|
|
- Add appropriate logging and debugging capabilities
|
|
- Include proper documentation and setup instructions
|
|
|
|
4. **Test considerations:**
|
|
- Validate that all tool calls return properly structured responses
|
|
- Verify manifest loads correctly and host integration works
|
|
|
|
Generate complete, production-ready code that can be immediately tested. Focus on defensive programming, clear error messages, and following the exact
|
|
DXT specifications to ensure compatibility with the ecosystem. |
