(** MCP - Model Context Protocol implementation
3
-
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is a standardized protocol for AI agents to exchange context
4
-
with servers. This module provides the core OCaml implementation of MCP including
5
-
all message types, content representations, and serialization functionality.
8
-
- Uses JSON-RPC 2.0 as its underlying message format with UTF-8 encoding
9
-
- Follows a client-server model where clients (often LLM-integrated applications) communicate with MCP servers
10
-
- Supports multiple transport methods including stdio and streamable HTTP
11
-
- Implements a three-phase connection lifecycle: initialization, operation, and shutdown
12
-
- Provides capability negotiation during initialization to determine available features
13
-
- Offers four primary context exchange mechanisms:
14
-
1. Resources: Server-exposed data that provides context to language models
15
-
2. Tools: Server-exposed functionality that can be invoked by language models
16
-
3. Prompts: Server-defined templates for structuring interactions with models
17
-
4. Sampling: Client-exposed ability to generate completions from LLMs
18
-
- Supports multimodal content types: text, images, audio, and embedded resources
19
-
- Includes standardized error handling with defined error codes
21
-
This implementation follows Protocol Revision 2025-03-26.

-
All MCP messages are encoded as JSON-RPC 2.0 messages with UTF-8 encoding,
474
-
following the standard JSON-RPC message formats with some MCP-specific extensions.
476
-
MCP defines four message types:
477
-
1. Notifications: One-way messages that don't expect a response
478
-
2. Requests: Messages that expect a corresponding response
479
-
3. Responses: Replies to requests with successful results
480
-
4. Errors: Replies to requests with error information
482
-
These can be transported over multiple transport mechanisms:
483
-
- stdio: Communication over standard input/output
484
-
- Streamable HTTP: HTTP POST/GET with SSE for server streaming
485
-
- Custom transports: Implementation-specific transports

Messages may be sent individually or as part of a JSON-RPC batch.

522
-
(** Request represents a JSON-RPC request that expects a response.
524
-
Requests are used for operations that require a response, such as:
526
-
- Listing resources, tools, or prompts
527
-
- Reading resources
531
-
In JSON-RPC, requests include an 'id' field that correlates with the response:
536
-
"method": "resources/read",
538
-
"uri": "file:///project/src/main.rs"
545
-
(** Unique identifier for the request, which will be echoed in the response.
546
-
This can be a string or integer and should be unique within the session. *)
548
-
(** Method name for the request, following the MCP naming conventions.
549
-
Common method patterns include:
550
-
- "X/Y" for standard operations
551
-
- "X/Y/Z" for more specific operations
553
-
Examples: "initialize", "resources/read", "tools/call", "prompts/get" *)

(** Optional parameters for the request as arbitrary JSON.
556
-
The structure depends on the specific request method. *)
progress_token: ProgressToken.t option;
558
-
(** Optional progress token for long-running operations.
559
-
If provided, the server can send progress notifications using this token
560
-
to inform the client about the operation's status. *)
563
-
(** Response represents a successful JSON-RPC response to a request.
565
-
Responses are sent in reply to requests and contain the successful result.
566
-
Each response must include the same ID as its corresponding request.
568
-
In JSON-RPC, responses include the 'id' field matching the request:
576
-
"uri": "file:///project/src/main.rs",
577
-
"mimeType": "text/x-rust",
578
-
"text": "fn main() {\n println!(\"Hello world!\");\n}"
587
-
(** ID matching the original request, allowing clients to correlate
588
-
responses with their originating requests, especially important
589
-
when multiple requests are in flight. *)
591
-
(** Result of the successful request as arbitrary JSON.
592
-
The structure depends on the specific request method that was called. *)
595
-
(** Error represents an error response to a JSON-RPC request.
597
-
Errors are sent in reply to requests when processing fails.
598
-
Each error must include the same ID as its corresponding request.
600
-
MCP defines several standard error codes:
601
-
- Standard JSON-RPC errors (-32700 to -32603)
602
-
- MCP-specific errors (-32002 for resource not found, etc.)
604
-
In JSON-RPC, errors follow this structure:
611
-
"message": "Resource not found",
613
-
"uri": "file:///nonexistent.txt"
621
-
(** ID matching the original request, allowing clients to correlate
622
-
errors with their originating requests. *)
624
-
(** Error code indicating the type of error, following the JSON-RPC standard.
625
-
Common codes include:
626
-
- -32700: Parse error
627
-
- -32600: Invalid request
628
-
- -32601: Method not found
629
-
- -32602: Invalid params
630
-
- -32603: Internal error
631
-
- -32002: Resource not found (MCP-specific)
632
-
- -32001: Authentication required (MCP-specific) *)
634
-
(** Human-readable error message describing the issue.
635
-
This should be concise but informative enough for debugging. *)
637
-

639
