Read a Resource from an MCP Server

Demonstrates Mcp.ReadResource, which calls the MCP resources/read method for a resource identified by URI and places the contents into a JsonObject.

Tip: Code to parse the returned JSON can be generated with Chilkat's online tool at https://tools.chilkat.io/jsonParse.

llSuccess = .F.

loMcp = createobject("CkMcp")

//  Connect to a public MCP (Model Context Protocol) server over its Streamable HTTP endpoint.  The
//  Microsoft Learn MCP server is public and requires no authentication.
llSuccess = loMcp.Connect("https://learn.microsoft.com/api/mcp")
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loMcp.LastErrorText
    release loMcp
    return
endif

//  Read a specific resource by its URI.  A resource URI is obtained from the "resources" array
//  returned by ListResources.  The resource contents are placed in the JsonObject.
loJson = createobject("CkJsonObject")
llSuccess = loMcp.ReadResource("file:///example/resource.txt",loJson)
if (llSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loMcp.LastErrorText
    release loMcp
    release loJson
