Usage Examples

Collection Management

// Create a new collection await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "create_collection", { name: "posts", schema: [ { name: "title", type: "text", required: true }, { name: "content", type: "text", required: true } ] }); // Manage indexes await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "manage_indexes", { collection: "posts", action: "create", index: { name: "title_idx", fields: ["title"], unique: true } });

Advanced Querying

// Query with filtering, sorting, and aggregation await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "query_collection", { collection: "posts", filter: "created >= '2024-01-01'", sort: "-created", aggregate: { totalLikes: "sum(likes)", avgRating: "avg(rating)" }, expand: "author,categories" });

Data Import/Export

// Import data with upsert mode await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "import_data", { collection: "posts", data: [ { title: "First Post", content: "Hello World" }, { title: "Second Post", content: "More content" } ], mode: "upsert" }); // Backup database await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "backup_database", { format: "json" // or "csv" });

Schema Migration

// Migrate collection schema await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "migrate_collection", { collection: "posts", newSchema: [ { name: "title", type: "text", required: true }, { name: "content", type: "text", required: true }, { name: "tags", type: "json", required: false } ], dataTransforms: { // Optional field transformations during migration tags: "JSON.parse(oldTags)" } });

Authentication Methods

// List available authentication methods await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "list_auth_methods", { collection: "users" }); // Authenticate with password await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "authenticate_user", { email: "user@example.com", password: "securepassword", collection: "users" }); // Authenticate with OAuth2 await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "authenticate_with_oauth2", { provider: "google", code: "auth_code_from_provider", codeVerifier: "code_verifier_from_pkce", redirectUrl: "https://your-app.com/auth/callback", collection: "users" }); // Request password reset await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "request_password_reset", { email: "user@example.com", collection: "users" }); // Confirm password reset await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "confirm_password_reset", { token: "verification_token", password: "new_password", passwordConfirm: "new_password", collection: "users" }); // Refresh authentication token await mcp.use_tool("pocketbase", "auth_refresh", { collection: "users" });

Error Handling

All tools include comprehensive error handling with detailed error messages. Errors are properly typed and include:

  • Invalid request errors

  • Authentication errors

  • Database operation errors

  • Schema validation errors

  • Network errors

Type Safety

The server includes TypeScript definitions for all operations, ensuring type safety when using the tools. Each tool's input schema is strictly typed and validated.

Best Practices

  1. Always use proper error handling with try/catch blocks

  2. Validate data before performing operations

  3. Use appropriate indexes for better query performance

  4. Regularly backup your database

  5. Use migrations for schema changes

  6. Follow security best practices for user management

  7. Monitor and optimize database performance
