MERN_CHAT_APP_BASE_URL	no	Base URL of the running mern_chat_app API instance

Transport

Two transports, selected via MCP_TRANSPORT:

• stdio (default) - the standard subprocess transport most MCP hosts use.

• streamable-http - hosts this server over HTTP/HTTPS at /mcp, so it can run as a standalone network service. Configure with:

  • HOST (default 0.0.0.0), PORT (default 8000)
  • MCP_TLS_CERTFILE / MCP_TLS_KEYFILE - set both to serve HTTPS directly; otherwise plain HTTP is served (fine behind a TLS-terminating proxy/ingress).

  Example: MCP_TRANSPORT=streamable-http PORT=8000 python server.py
