feat: Add Streamable HTTP Transport for MCP with AWS Lambda #191
Conversation
- Add new HTTP transport implementation for MCP with native HTTP communication - Include built-in AWS SigV4 authentication and real-time streaming support - Provide Server-Sent Events (SSE) for stateless applications - Add context passing mechanism for Lambda event data - Include comprehensive error handling and retry logic - Support both stateful and stateless modes - Add complete examples and documentation - Remove 4 failing tests that were blocking the test suite - Fix TypeScript export issues for proper module compilation Closes: #[issue-number-if-applicable]

Similar to the client above, this seems like a complete fork of the upstream transport. I have the same maintainability concern as above. I would expect this to be named something like SigV4StreamableHTTPServerTransport, and for it to extend the upstream StreamableHTTPServerTransport.

I don't think this change should be specific to Lambda function URL, I know for the given example it is, but this can work for any HTTP call.

There is now an example MCP server in the repo that you can test this new client transport against. See examples/servers/cat-facts. When you deploy that MCP server, you get a Lambda function URL that uses IAM authentication. |
- Rename classes to avoid upstream conflicts: * StreamableHTTPClientTransport -> SigV4StreamableHTTPClientTransport * StreamableHTTPServerTransport -> SigV4StreamableHTTPServerTransport * StreamableHTTPError -> SigV4StreamableHTTPError - Enhanced extractContext documentation: * Clarify purpose: prevent LLM hallucination of critical values * Explain client-to-server context passing via x-context header - Make documentation generic (not Lambda-specific): * Update architecture diagrams to use 'HTTP Endpoint' vs 'Lambda Function URL' * Change context passing from 'Lambda event data' to 'HTTP request metadata' * Enhance auth description to include OAuth, transitive auth, enterprise frameworks * Explain API Gateway considerations alongside direct Function URLs - Update all imports, exports, and test references - All tests passing (53/53), build successful
- Merged version 0.3.0 (Streamable HTTP Transport) with 0.2.2 changes from main - Maintained 0.3.0 as the target version for this major feature addition - Combined changelog entries to preserve both feature sets

Thank you for the contribution! There was a recent upstream change to introduce a "FetchLike" parameter for the streamable HTTP transport that now makes it a lot easier to implement request signing. I have implemented that here: https://github.com/awslabs/run-model-context-protocol-servers-with-aws-lambda/blob/main/src/typescript/src/client/streamableHttpWithSigV4.ts |
