The error message you see is expected. The client side code you posted shows that you are attempting to invoke MFP server outside of MFP client SDK ( jQuery ajax call). This call does not carry all the required information to the server and server sends the "missing_authorization" message as a result.

If you wish to invoke an adapter, use WLResourceRequest API provided by MFP client SDK. This takes care of handling the authentication handshake with MFP server. More details on the API usage here.
