The change looks good! But I'm not sure if we want to drop SSE mode entirely, @droot if we are okay with dropping it, this looks good to merge! |

Given that latest specification of the protocol has removed sse, its safe to take it out. @appleboy |

This replaces the HTTP+SSE transport from protocol version 2024-11-05.
In the Streamable HTTP transport, the server operates as an independent process that can handle multiple client connections. This transport uses HTTP POST and GET requests. Server can optionally make use of Server-Sent Events (SSE) to stream multiple server messages. This permits basic MCP servers, as well as more feature-rich servers supporting streaming and server-to-client notifications and requests.
