mcpClient

Connects to a named MCP server declared in .cfconfig.json under mcpServers, using the same shape an editor's client config uses so a block can be pasted across without translation. Returns a client handle identical to the one from mcpConnect(). Resolving a name requires serve mode with a loaded configuration; in a CLI run with no configuration loaded, use mcpConnect() with an explicit command or url instead.

mcpClient( name ) → returns any

This function requires RustCFML.  Not supported on Lucee, Adobe ColdFusion, etc.
