PostgreSQL uses numeric IDs by default, while MongoDB uses string-based ObjectIDs. Changes: - Updated ID parameter schemas to accept both string and number types - Added ID-to-string conversion in find, update, and delete tools - Ensured backward compatibility with MongoDB's string IDs This fixes test failures in PR #14334 where all 4 localization tests were failing with "Expected string, received number" validation errors in the PostgreSQL integration test suite. All 15 tests now pass in both PostgreSQL and MongoDB. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude --- .../src/mcp/tools/resource/delete.ts | 15 +++++++------ .../plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/resource/find.ts | 17 ++++++++------- .../src/mcp/tools/resource/update.ts | 21 +++++++++++-------- packages/plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/schemas.ts | 12 ++++++++--- 4 files changed, 40 insertions(+), 25 deletions(-) diff --git a/packages/plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/resource/delete.ts b/packages/plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/resource/delete.ts index 7ba97301af3..307fdd9cd03 100644 --- a/packages/plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/resource/delete.ts +++ b/packages/plugin-mcp/src/mcp/tools/resource/delete.ts @@ -15,7 +15,7 @@ export const deleteResourceTool = ( collections: PluginMCPServerConfig['collections'], ) => { const tool = async ( - id?: string, + id?: number | string, where?: string, depth: number = 0, locale?: string, @@ -28,15 +28,18 @@ export const deleteResourceTool = ( }> => { const payload = req.payload + // Convert ID to string if it's a number (for PostgreSQL compatibility) + const idString = id !== undefined ?

This was because the schema converter preserved the 'required' status of fields from the collection schema. Changes: - Use Zod's `.partial()` method on converted fields to make all fields optional - This allows updating a single field without providing all required fields - Maintains backward compatibility with full updates Fixes issue where users couldn't update a single field (like a title) without passing in all the document data. This was particularly problematic with complex nested fields like layout blocks.
