## 📚 Documentation: HTTP SSE Transport Setup Guide ### Summary Create comprehensive documentation for the new HTTP SSE transport implementation, including setup guides, API reference, migration instructions, and troubleshooting. ### Background With the addition of HTTP SSE transport support, users need clear documentation on how to use the new transport options, migrate from STDIO, and integrate with web applications. ### Documentation Requirements #### 1. Setup and Usage Guide (`HTTP_SSE_GUIDE.md`) - [ ] **Quick Start**: Minimal setup to get HTTP server running - [ ] **Configuration**: Environment variables and options - [ ] **Transport Types**: When to use Streamable HTTP vs legacy SSE - [ ] **Client Examples**: Code samples for different programming languages - [ ] **Deployment**: Production deployment considerations #### 2. API Reference Documentation - [ ] **Endpoints**: Detailed description of all HTTP endpoints - `/mcp` - Modern Streamable HTTP transport - `/sse` - Legacy SSE connection - `/messages` - Legacy SSE messages - `/health` - Health monitoring - `/` - API documentation - [ ] **Request/Response Formats**: JSON schemas and examples - [ ] **Error Codes**: Standard HTTP and MCP error responses - [ ] **Headers**: Required and optional HTTP headers #### 3. Migration Guide - [ ] **From STDIO to HTTP**: Step-by-step migration instructions - [ ] **Backwards Compatibility**: How existing clients continue working - [ ] **Transport Selection**: Decision matrix for choosing transport type - [ ] **Performance Considerations**: Scaling and optimization tips #### 4. Integration Examples - [ ] **Web Applications**: Browser-based MCP client examples - [ ] **Node.js**: Server-side integration examples - [ ] **Python**: Client examples with aiohttp/requests - [ ] **Curl**: Command-line testing examples - [ ] **Postman**: Collection for API testing #### 5. Troubleshooting Guide - [ ] **Common Issues**: Connection problems and solutions - [ ] **Debug Mode**: Using MCP Inspector with HTTP transport - [ ] **Session Problems**: Session management troubleshooting - [ ] **CORS Issues**: Cross-origin configuration - [ ] **Performance**: Monitoring and optimization ### Content Structure #### HTTP_SSE_GUIDE.md ```markdown # HTTP SSE Transport Guide ## Quick Start 1. Start HTTP server: `bun run start:http` 2. Test connection: `bun run test:http` 3. Check health: `bun run health` ## Transport Types ### Streamable HTTP (Recommended) - Modern MCP transport - Better session management - Improved error handling ### Legacy SSE (Backwards Compatibility) - Compatible with older clients - Server-Sent Events based - Gradual migration path ## API Endpoints ### POST /mcp Modern Streamable HTTP transport endpoint... ### GET /sse Legacy SSE connection endpoint... ## Client Examples ### JavaScript/TypeScript ```typescript import { Client } from "@modelcontextprotocol/sdk/client/index.js"; // ... example code ``` ## Deployment ### Production Considerations - Use reverse proxy (nginx/apache) - Configure CORS for web clients - Monitor session counts - Set up health checks ``` #### Integration Examples Directory ``` docs/ ├── integration/ │ ├── browser-client.html │ ├── nodejs-client.js │ ├── python-client.py │ └── curl-examples.sh └── troubleshooting/ ├── common-issues.md ├── debug-guide.md └── performance.md ``` ### Acceptance Criteria #### Documentation Quality - [ ] Clear, step-by-step instructions - [ ] Working code examples that can be copy-pasted - [ ] Proper markdown formatting with syntax highlighting - [ ] Screenshots/diagrams where helpful - [ ] Links to relevant MCP specification sections #### Coverage Completeness - [ ] All endpoints documented with examples - [ ] Both transport types explained - [ ] Migration path clearly outlined - [ ] Troubleshooting covers common scenarios - [ ] Integration examples for major platforms #### Accuracy - [ ] All code examples tested and working - [ ] API documentation matches implementation - [ ] Links and references are valid - [ ] Version information is current #### Accessibility - [ ] Proper heading structure for navigation - [ ] Code blocks with language specification - [ ] Clear prerequisites and assumptions - [ ] Glossary of technical terms ### File Locations - `/HTTP_SSE_GUIDE.md` - Main setup guide - `/docs/api-reference.md` - API documentation - `/docs/migration-guide.md` - Migration instructions - `/docs/integration/` - Client examples - `/docs/troubleshooting/` - Problem-solving guides ### Integration with Project - [ ] Link from main README.md - [ ] Include in package.json files for npm - [ ] Add to GitHub repository description - [ ] Create wiki pages for complex topics ### Maintenance - [ ] Documentation review process - [ ] Update schedule for API changes - [ ] User feedback collection mechanism - [ ] Version compatibility matrix ### Benefits 1. **User Adoption**: Clear documentation reduces implementation time 2. **Support Reduction**: Self-service troubleshooting 3. **Integration Success**: Working examples accelerate development 4. **Professional Image**: High-quality documentation builds trust 5. **Community Growth**: Easier onboarding for new users ### Dependencies - Requires completion of HTTP SSE implementation (#XX) - Should align with MCP specification documentation - May need example applications for demonstration --- **Priority**: High **Effort**: Medium **Impact**: High - Essential for user adoption and success
