I want to build this as a Desktop Extension, abbreviated as "DXT". Please follow these steps:
-
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
-
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
-
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
-
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.
