Detailed Description

Abstract transport for external MCP communication.

Internal to librentropic-mcp.so. Not exposed across .so boundaries. Two implementations: StdioTransport (fork/exec + pipes) and SSETransport (cpp-httplib SSE stream + HTTP POST).

Version

1.8.7

Definition at line 29 of file transport.h.

Member Function Documentation

close()

virtual void entropic::Transport::close ( )

pure virtual

Close the transport connection.

Version

1.8.7

Implemented in entropic::SSETransport, and entropic::StdioTransport.

interrupt()

virtual void entropic::Transport::interrupt ( )

inlinevirtual

Abort any in-flight send_request() call ASAP.

Called from another thread (typically the engine's interrupt path) so tool dispatches to external MCP servers do not run to completion after Ctrl+C. Default is a no-op for transports with no blocking calls. Must wake pending reads within ~100ms. (P1-10, 2.0.6-rc16)

@utility

Version

2.0.6-rc16

Reimplemented in entropic::StdioTransport.

Definition at line 76 of file transport.h.

is_connected()

virtual bool entropic::Transport::is_connected ( ) const

pure virtual

Check if transport is connected.

Returns

true if connected and ready.

Version

1.8.7

Implemented in entropic::SSETransport, and entropic::StdioTransport.

open()

virtual bool entropic::Transport::open ( )

pure virtual

Open the transport connection.

Returns

true on success.

Version

1.8.7

Implemented in entropic::SSETransport, and entropic::StdioTransport.

send_request()

virtual std::string entropic::Transport::send_request ( const std::string &  request_json, uint32_t  timeout_ms = 0  )

pure virtual

Send a JSON-RPC request and wait for response.

Parameters

request_json	JSON-RPC request string.
timeout_ms	Timeout in milliseconds (0 = default 30s).

Returns

JSON-RPC response string, or empty on error/timeout.

Version

1.8.7

Implemented in entropic::SSETransport, and entropic::StdioTransport.
