An MCP server is the “provider side” of MCP: it receives JSON‑RPC requests and responds with tools, prompts, resource information, and results. In ColdFusion, an MCP server wraps your CFCs, prompts, and resources so that external MCP clients can use them in their own workflows. An MCP Server exposes ColdFusion components (CFCs) as tools, provides prompt templates, and serves resources to MCP clients.
