Question 1

What is the difference between STDIO and SSE transports in MCP?

Accepted Answer

STDIO is used for local/command-line integration, while SSE is designed for web-based or network communication. Both use JSON-RPC 2.0 for message formatting.

Question 2

What dependencies are required to run this server?

Accepted Answer

Node.js, Express, `@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` (for MCP and SSE transports), `zod` (for schema validation), and `cors`. The project uses TypeScript and ES modules.

Question 3

Where is the data stored? Is it persistent?

Accepted Answer

Data (products, inventory, orders) is stored in-memory using simulated arrays. It is not persisted to a database; for production use, a database-backed microservice should replace the in-memory store.

Question 4

What credentials does it need?

Accepted Answer

It reads `OPENAI_API_KEY` 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.
