# MCP Simple StreamableHttp Server Example
A simple MCP server example demonstrating the StreamableHttp transport, which enables HTTP-based communication with MCP servers using streaming.
## Features
- Uses the StreamableHTTP transport for server-client communication
- Supports REST API operations (POST, GET, DELETE) for `/mcp` endpoint
- Task management with anyio task groups
- Ability to send multiple notifications over time to the client
- Proper resource cleanup and lifespan management
## Usage
Start the server on the default or custom port:
```bash
# Using custom port
uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --port 3000
# Custom logging level
uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --log-level DEBUG
# Enable JSON responses instead of SSE streams
uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --json-response
```
The server exposes a tool named "start-notification-stream" that accepts three arguments:
- `interval`: Time between notifications in seconds (e.g., 1.0)
- `count`: Number of notifications to send (e.g., 5)
- `caller`: Identifier string for the caller
## Client
You can connect to this server using an HTTP client, for now only Typescript SDK has streamable HTTP client examples or you can use (Inspector)[https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector]
