Work with resources
Last update:
May 18, 2026
Learn how to discover and read resources exposed by an MCP server using a ColdFusion client.
Resources are read-only objects such as files, logs, or domain-specific data that the MCP server exposes to clients.
You can list available resources and read their contents if they are accessible.
- List available resources using
listResources().ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
<cfscript>
resources = mcpClient.listResources();
writeDump(resources);
</cfscript>- Read a specific resource using
readResource(uri).ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
<cfscript>
uri = "file:///logs/app.log";
if (mcpClient.isResourceReadable(uri)) {
resData = mcpClient.readResource(uri);
logText = "";
if (arrayLen(resData.contents) GT 0 && structKeyExists(resData.contents[1], "text")) {
logText = resData.contents[1].text;
}
writeOutput("<pre>" & encodeForHtml(logText) & "</pre>");
} else {
writeOutput("Resource not readable: " & uri);
}
</cfscript>- Use
isResourceReadable(uri)to verify access before attempting to read the resource.
Result
You can now inspect and retrieve read-only data exposed by the MCP server.
