+# Merlin Call Compatible Request
+
+## Description
+
+Allows Merlin commands to be invoked from LSP, in the same way as the
+`ocamlmerlin` binary, using a custom request. Invoking this command returns the
+result in the form of a character string (which can be JSON or SEXP)
+representing the result of a Merlin command. This makes it possible to implement
+clients capable of fallbacking on Merlin in the event of a missing feature.
+
+### Why this custom request needed
+
+It allows editor plugin to communicate with the ocaml-lsp-server using the
+merlin protocol, it will be useful for text-based editors that want to preserve
+the classic Merlin UI while using ocaml-lsp-server. (It is a temporary solution
+that will progressively be replaced by tailored custom requests filling the gaps
+in the protocol)
+
+## Client capability
+
+There is no client capability relative to this request
+
+## Server capability
+
+property name: `handleMerlinCallCompatible`
+
+property type: `boolean`
+
+## Request
+
+- method: `ocamllsp/merlinCallCompatible`
+- params:
+
+```json
+{
+  "uri": DocumentUri,
+  "command": string,
+  "args": string[],
+  "resultAsSexp": boolean
+}
+```
+
+- `uri`: is the reference of the current document
+- `command`: is the name of the command invoked (ie: `case-analysis`)
+- `args`: all the parameters passed to the command, by default: `[]`
+- `resultAsSexp`: a flag indicating whether the result should be returned in
+  SEXP (`true`) or JSON (`false`), by default: `false`
+
+For an exhaustive description of what the query returns, please refer to the
+[Merlin
+protocol](https://github.com/ocaml/merlin/blob/master/doc/dev/PROTOCOL.md)
+
+## Response
+
+```json
+{
+  "resultAsSexp": boolean,
+  "result": string
+}
+```
+
+- `resultAsSexp`: `true` if the command was invoked with the `resultAsSexp` flag,
+  `false` otherwise
+- `result`: the result in string (in JSON or SEXP)
