Motivation and Context

Context: #1007 from @tewatia

  • Add StreamableHTTP servers section mirroring SSE servers structure
  • Start with simple mounting examples, then explain path composition
  • Document how to configure streamable_http_path for different scenarios
  • Add inline comments in Starlette mounting example

This addresses confusion around endpoint paths when mounting
FastMCP servers as sub-applications in ASGI frameworks.

How Has This Been Tested?

N/A docs change only

Breaking Changes

None.

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)

- Add StreamableHTTP servers section mirroring SSE servers structure
- Start with simple mounting examples, then explain path composition
- Document how to configure streamable_http_path for different scenarios
- Add inline comments in Starlette mounting example

This addresses confusion around endpoint paths when mounting
FastMCP servers as sub-applications in ASGI frameworks.
- Split single streamable_http_mounting.py into four focused examples:
  - Basic mounting example
  - Host-based routing example
  - Multiple servers with path configuration
  - Path configuration at initialization
- Removed manual route append approach, now using proper Host() in routes
- Updated README with clearer structure and subsections for each example

This addresses review feedback to improve clarity and organization
of the StreamableHTTP mounting documentation.
