The Streamable HTTP Transport

How MCP runs over a single HTTP endpoint.

Meet Streamable HTTP

MCP's modern remote transport is called Streamable HTTP. It lets your server live behind one web URL that any client on the internet can reach.

One Endpoint to Rule Them All

Unlike older designs, Streamable HTTP uses a single endpoint, often something like /mcp. Both requests and replies flow through that one path.

POST https://api.example.com/mcp
