handleRequest
Last update:

Initializes the MCP server by reading an incoming JSON-RPC request, forwarding it to the MCP server instance, and writing the serialized response as an HTTP response.
Description
The
handleRequest function helps initialize the MCP server. You can only use this function in a CFM, not a CFC. The function:- Reads the incoming JSON-RPC request for MCP (from
getHttpRequestData().contentor similar). - Forwards the request struct to your MCP server instance (created via
MCPServer(config)) to be handled. - Serializes the MCP server's response back to the client and writes it as an HTTP response with
application/jsoncontent type.
It effectively glues your ColdFusion HTTP endpoint to the MCP server object so external MCP clients (Cursor, Claude Desktop, other CF apps) can call
initialize, tools/list, tools/call, prompts/get, resources/read, etc. over HTTP.Returns
Void
Syntax
