This post introduces an update to the MCP adapter to support Streamable HTTP as the recommended transport for MCP servers, replacing the less efficient Server-Sent Events (SSE). It also details how to use the `mcp-remote` package to proxy Streamable HTTP over stdio for compatibility with clients that do not yet support the new transport. The post highlights a real-world example where migrating to Streamable HTTP reduced CPU consumption by over 50%.
