Dear All starting using FME Flow - MCP Server,
I have an existing FME workspace performing semantic search using Microsoft Copilot Retrieval API searching against SharePoint Document Library, which was used with a FME Flow App (Semantic Document Search Engine). It will return HTML based search results with generative AI vibe-coded UI. It has been working quite well for our end users.
Now, since we are all very excited about potentials of FME Flow - MCP Server. I have made a copy of my workspace and convert the out to JSON writer or TEXT writer to streaming JSON of the semantic search results.
However, Claude AI seems to only be able to get returns of job submission log from the MCP tool:
{
"id": 182,
"featureOutputCount": 2,
"requesterHost": "X.X.X.X",
"requesterResultPort": 57366,
"resultDatasetDownloadUrl": null,
"status": "SUCCESS",
"statusMessage": "Translation Successful",
"timeFinished": 1774908390000,
"timeQueued": 1774908385000,
"timeStarted": 1774908385000,
"outputLocation": "C:\\ProgramData\\Safe Software\\FMEFlow\\resources\\system\\temp\\engineresults\\FME_2653562A_1774908390173_6440"
}If I ran the workspace used as a MCP tool on FME Flow directly, I see JSON of semantic search results streamed and shown...but not when it is called by the MCP server.

}I watched the webinar multiple times but can’t seem to find what might be the solution.
Thanks a lot!
