What MCP transport protocols are available?

Two implementations are provided: one using HTTP streaming and one using SSE (Server-Sent Events). Both are supported by the host.

How do I run the demo with Docker?

Clone the repository, then run `docker compose up` to start the MCP servers and DocumentDB Local. Access the MCP host container with `docker exec -it mcp-host bash`.

What credentials does it need?

It reads `AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY`, `OPENAI_API_KEY`, `GITHUB_TOKEN` from the environment. Store these in your client's env block or a secrets manager — never commit them to a repository — and grant the narrowest scope that still covers your use case.

The short version

This project showcases how to use the MCP protocol with OpenAI, Azure OpenAI and GitHub Models. It provides a simple demo terminal application that interacts with a TODO list Agent. The agent has access to a set of tools provided by the MCP server.
