You probably want to define your own mjt task.

Check out the Yahoo JsonP example on http://mjtemplate.org/
The interesting code is here:
http://mjtemplate.org/dist/mjt-0.6/src/yahooapi/yahooapi.js

You can also create XmlHttpRequest based tasks if you don't need to  
work cross-domain.
Ping me if you need an example.
