Skeet MCP Studio Support
Skeet provides native support for Server-Sent Events (SSE) as its primary mechanism for remote-hosted MCP services. This real-time communication protocol enables efficient, one-way communication from your MCP services to clients, making it ideal for streaming updates and continuous data flow.
However, we also support STUDIO Transport for MCP services as well. This section will guide you through the process of enabling MCP Studio support for your MCP services.
Overview
Server-Sent Events offer several advantages for MCP implementations:
- Real-time Updates: Receive instant updates from your MCP services
- Efficient Resource Usage: Maintains a single connection for multiple events
- Native Browser Support: Works out of the box with modern web browsers
- Automatic Reconnection: Built-in retry mechanism for connection failures
Using SSE with MCP Studio
To enable MCP Studio support for SSE transport, we use the supergateway package.
Configuration Example
Here's a basic example of configuring an MCP service with SSE:
mcp.json
{
"mcpServers": {
"skeet.build": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"supergateway",
"--sse",
"https://skeet.sh/ot/YOUR_SKEET_MCP_KEY"
]
}
}
}Best Practices
When implementing SSE with Skeet MCP services:
- Error Handling: Always implement proper error handling and reconnection logic
- Event Types: Define clear event types for different message categories
- Connection Management: Monitor connection health and implement heartbeats
- Security: Implement proper authentication for your SSE endpoints
