Overview

Implementation of MCP server that communicates via Streamable HTTP transport (MCP 2025-03-26) This transport uses HTTP POST for RPC calls with optional SSE responses, and GET for event streams Compliant with MCP specification version 2025-03-26

Key features:

  • Supports server-sent events (SSE) for real-time notifications

  • Handles ping/pong keepalive mechanism

  • Thread-safe connection management

  • Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff

Defined Under Namespace
