## Transport Modes

The server supports multiple transport modes to suit different use cases.

### Stdio Mode (Default)

Standard input/output communication. This is the default mode used by most MCP clients (such as Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.).

All configuration examples above use stdio mode by default, requiring no additional setup.

### HTTP/SSE Mode

For advanced use cases, you can run the server in HTTP mode, providing both HTTP streaming and Server-Sent Events (SSE) endpoints.

**Start the server in HTTP mode:**

```bash
# macOS/Linux
export LISTENHUB_API_KEY="your_api_key_here"
npx @marswave/listenhub-mcp-server --transport http --port 3000
# Windows
set LISTENHUB_API_KEY=your_api_key_here

npx @marswave/listenhub-mcp-server --transport http --port 3000
```

**Available endpoints:**

- HTTP Streaming: `http://localhost:3000/mcp`
- Server-Sent Events: `http://localhost:3000/sse`

**Configure your MCP client to use HTTP endpoint:**

```json
{
  "mcpServers": {
    "listenhub": {
      "url": "http://localhost:3000/mcp"
    }
  }
}
```
