## ๐ฏ **Client Integration**
### โ
**Recommended Configuration (Streamable HTTP)**
**New Standard - MCP 2025-06-18:**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wazuh": {
"url": "https://your-server.com/mcp",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your-jwt-token",
"MCP-Protocol-Version": "2025-06-18"
}
}
}
}
```
### โ
**Legacy Configuration (SSE only)**
**For older clients (backwards compatibility):**
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"wazuh": {
"url": "https://your-server.com/sse",
"headers": {
"Authorization": "Bearer your-jwt-token"
}
}
}
}
```
### โ
**Authentication Flow**
1. **Get API Key**: Server generates secure API key on startup
2. **Exchange for JWT**: `POST /auth/token` with API key
3. **Use Bearer Token**: Include in Authorization header for `/mcp` or `/sse` endpoint
4. **Token Refresh**: Automatic token renewal before expiration
### โ
**Connection Process**
#### Streamable HTTP (Recommended):
1. **Client connects to**: `https://server.com/mcp`
2. **Headers sent**: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, `MCP-Protocol-Version: 2025-06-18`, `Origin: https://client.com`
3. **POST requests**: Send JSON-RPC requests, get JSON or SSE responses
4. **GET requests**: Retrieve session info or establish SSE stream
5. **DELETE requests**: Cleanly terminate session
#### Legacy SSE:
1. **Client connects to**: `https://server.com/sse`
2. **Headers sent**: `Authorization: Bearer <token>`, `Origin: https://client.com`
3. **GET only**: Receive SSE stream
4. **Separate POST endpoint**: Use root `/` for JSON-RPC requests
