| 1 | +# Laravel Loop HTTP Streaming |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Laravel Loop provides a streamable HTTP transport for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) that supports client-initiated requests (POST). The MCP HTTP transport is able to process JSON and SSE streaming responses on a single endpoint. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## Configuration |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +To enable and configure the HTTP MCP endpoint, update your `.env` file and/or `config/loop.php`: |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +```php |
| 10 | +# Enable the HTTP MCP endpoint |
| 11 | +LOOP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_ENABLED=true |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +# Set the endpoint path (default: /mcp) |
| 14 | +LOOP_STREAMABLE_HTTP_PATH=/mcp |
| 15 | +``` |
| 16 | + |
| 17 | +### Security Considerations |
| 18 | + |
| 19 | +The MCP HTTP endpoint should be protected with proper authentication. By default, it uses Laravel Sanctum, but you can configure the middleware stack in `config/loop.php`: |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +```php |
| 22 | +'middleware' => ['auth:sanctum'], |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Client-Initiated Messages (POST) |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +Clients can send JSON-RPC 2.0 messages to the MCP server by making HTTP POST requests to the configured endpoint. |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +### Single Request |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```bash |
| 32 | +curl -X POST http://your-app.test/mcp \ |
| 33 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 34 | + -H "Accept: application/json" \ |
| 35 | + -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \ |
| 36 | + -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"clientInfo":{"name":"Test Client"},"capabilities":{},"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05"}}' |
| 37 | +``` |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Batch Requests |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +```bash |
| 42 | +curl -X POST http://your-app.test/mcp \ |
| 43 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 44 | + -H "Accept: application/json" \ |
| 45 | + -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \ |
| 46 | + -d '[{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"clientInfo":{"name":"Test Client"},"capabilities":{},"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05"}},{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}]' |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### SSE Streaming Responses |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +Clients can request SSE responses for batch processing by setting the `Accept` header to include `text/event-stream`: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```bash |
| 54 | +curl -X POST http://your-app.test/mcp \ |
| 55 | + -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ |
| 56 | + -H "Accept: text/event-stream" \ |
| 57 | + -H "Authorization: Bearer YOUR_TOKEN" \ |
| 58 | + -d '[{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"initialize","params":{"clientInfo":{"name":"Test Client"},"capabilities":{},"protocolVersion":"2024-11-05"}},{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":2,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}]' |
| 59 | +``` |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +The server will respond with an SSE stream containing each response as a separate event. |
