Discussion Topic

Our server by default run the packaged binary as streamable http or sse (hosted locally - e.g. http://127.0.0.1: 5000). User can opt in to run it with stdio transport if they provide the --stdio flag. However, the transport field only allow one value. How should I configure this? Or should I have the sse or streamable as default in this case?

I also saw this example for configuring server with remote and package options. Is this what I should follow?
If yes, does it only pick one or the other when loading/running? In our case, the remote url is linked to the package. (user will have to run the package --> server will start at localhost --> remote url connected through the url).

Hey, @Yuan325, thanks for reaching out!

For the time being the intention is to setup a preferred default transport type. If you choose sse or streamable-http there's also an option to add a templated URL so consumers would know how to construct the URL based on any optional/configurable parameters your server has.

In any case, you're raising a valid point that some servers may offer support for more than 1 transport type so perhaps we can make this a list similar to Remotes rather than a single item.

cc: @domdomegg @tadasant - let me know if you agree and I'll file a fix (an issue is an option too, it seems as a good-first-issue example for someone to grab)
