Expected Behavior

The user can customize the endpoint routing functions.
We hope to wrap HTTP-APIs to MCP-Server-Tools.

• Uses Spring WebFlux's RouterFunction for endpoint handling (GET, POST, DELETE)

We hope to support the follow MCP-Servers in one application process:

• /mcp
• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-A -> some MCP-Tools
• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-B -> some MCP-Tools
• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-C -> some MCP-Tools

Current Behavior

The RouterFunction is private initialization in WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider, and its constructor is private.

public class WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider implements McpStreamableServerTransportProvider {

	private final String mcpEndpoint;

	private final RouterFunction<?> routerFunction;

	private WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider(ObjectMapper objectMapper, String mcpEndpoint,
			McpTransportContextExtractor<ServerRequest> contextExtractor, boolean disallowDelete,
			Duration keepAliveInterval) {
		
		this.mcpEndpoint = mcpEndpoint;
		
		this.routerFunction = RouterFunctions.route()
			.GET(this.mcpEndpoint, this::handleGet)
			.POST(this.mcpEndpoint, this::handlePost)
			.DELETE(this.mcpEndpoint, this::handleDelete)
			.build();
	}

	public RouterFunction<?> getRouterFunction() {
		return this.routerFunction;
	}

}

public abstract class RouterFunctions {

	public static Builder route() {
		return new RouterFunctionBuilder();
	}

}

class RouterFunctionBuilder implements RouterFunctions.Builder {

	private final List<RouterFunction<ServerResponse>> routerFunctions = new ArrayList<>();


	@Override
	public RouterFunctions.Builder add(RouterFunction<ServerResponse> routerFunction) {
		Assert.notNull(routerFunction, "RouterFunction must not be null");
		this.routerFunctions.add(routerFunction);
		return this;
	}

	@Override
	public RouterFunction<ServerResponse> build() {
		if (this.routerFunctions.isEmpty()) {
			throw new IllegalStateException("No routes registered. Register a route with GET(), POST(), etc.");
		}
		RouterFunction<ServerResponse> result = new BuiltRouterFunction(this.routerFunctions);

		if (this.filterFunctions.isEmpty() && this.errorHandlers.isEmpty()) {
			return result;
		}
		else {
			HandlerFilterFunction<ServerResponse, ServerResponse> filter =
					Stream.concat(this.filterFunctions.stream(), this.errorHandlers.stream())
							.reduce(HandlerFilterFunction::andThen)
							.orElseThrow(IllegalStateException::new);

			return result.filter(filter);
		}
	}


	/**
	 * Router function returned by {@link #build()} that simply iterates over the registered routes.
	 */
	private static class BuiltRouterFunction extends RouterFunctions.AbstractRouterFunction<ServerResponse> {

		private final List<RouterFunction<ServerResponse>> routerFunctions;

		public BuiltRouterFunction(List<RouterFunction<ServerResponse>> routerFunctions) {
			Assert.notEmpty(routerFunctions, "RouterFunctions must not be empty");
			this.routerFunctions = new ArrayList<>(routerFunctions);
		}

		@Override
		public Mono<HandlerFunction<ServerResponse>> route(ServerRequest request) {
			return Flux.fromIterable(this.routerFunctions)
					.concatMap(routerFunction -> routerFunction.route(request))
					.next();
		}

		@Override
		public void accept(RouterFunctions.Visitor visitor) {
			this.routerFunctions.forEach(routerFunction -> routerFunction.accept(visitor));
		}
	}

}

Context

API is MCP, allowing AI to connect to the real world with lower cost, speed, and security. The existing APIs can be instantly converted into a Remote MCP Server, laying out the shortest connection path between AI and the real world.

We need to start multiple WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider, McpAsyncServer instances in one application process. Please to see the follow code in McpServerConfiguration, that is reference to McpServerStreamableHttpWebFluxAutoConfiguration.

It can support the follow MCP-Servers:

• /mcp
• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-A -> some MCP-Tools
• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-B -> some MCP-Tools

But the RouterFunction can not dynamic update when the database update for some new app-name MCP-Server.

• /mcp/mcp-server-app-name-C

I try to the follow method, but not success to dynamic update RouterFunction.

 // 小写连字符转驼峰
 String beanNamePrefix = CaseFormat.LOWER_HYPHEN.to(CaseFormat.LOWER_CAMEL, serverName);
 String routerFunctionBeanName = beanNamePrefix + "RouterFunction";
 beanFactory.registerSingleton(routerFunctionBeanName, transportProvider.getRouterFunction());
 }

 return transportProviderMap;
 }

Because RouterFunctionMapping init afterPropertiesSet().

Does spring-projects/spring-ai#4645 help?

This PR can implement a custom RouterFunction<?> for user optional.

 /**

 // Router function for streamable http transport used by Spring WebFlux to start an
 // HTTP server.
 @Bean
 @ConditionalOnProperty(prefix = McpServerProperties.CONFIG_PREFIX, name = "type", havingValue = "ASYNC")

 public RouterFunction<?> webFluxStreamableServerRouterFunction(
 WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider webFluxProvider,
 Map<String, WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider> transportProviderMap) {
 log.info("init webFluxStreamableServerRouterFunction");

 RouterFunctions.Builder routerFunctionBuilder = RouterFunctions.route();
 routerFunctionBuilder.add((RouterFunction<ServerResponse>) webFluxProvider.getRouterFunction());

 for (WebFluxStreamableServerTransportProvider transportProvider : transportProviderMap.values()) {
 routerFunctionBuilder.add((RouterFunction<ServerResponse>) transportProvider.getRouterFunction());
 }

 return routerFunctionBuilder.build();
 }

No, the above code implement custom RouterFunction<?>. In fact, I need dynamic update it after application has started.
Such as, I can dynamic add a new MCP-Server of newApi, that need a new RouterFunction<?> of /mcp/mcp-server-{newApi}. Now, I try add a new RouterFunction<?> Bean by ConfigurableListableBeanFactory.registerSingleton(), but not effective and success.
