+# MCP Simple StreamableHttp Stateless Server Example
+
+A stateless MCP server example demonstrating the StreamableHttp transport without maintaining session state. This example is ideal for understanding how to deploy MCP servers in multi-node environments where requests can be routed to any instance.
+
+## Features
+
+- Uses the StreamableHTTP transport in stateless mode (mcp_session_id=None)
+- Each request creates a new ephemeral connection
+- No session state maintained between requests
+- Task lifecycle scoped to individual requests
+- Suitable for deployment in multi-node environments
+
+
+## Usage
+
+Start the server:
+
+```bash
+# Using default port 3000
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp-stateless
+
+# Using custom port
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp-stateless --port 3000
+
+# Custom logging level
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp-stateless --log-level DEBUG
+
+# Enable JSON responses instead of SSE streams
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp-stateless --json-response
+```
+
+The server exposes a tool named "start-notification-stream" that accepts three arguments:
+
+- `interval`: Time between notifications in seconds (e.g., 1.0)
+- `count`: Number of notifications to send (e.g., 5)
+- `caller`: Identifier string for the caller
+
+
+## Client
+
+You can connect to this server using an HTTP client. For now, only the TypeScript SDK has streamable HTTP client examples, or you can use [Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector) for testing.

+# MCP Simple StreamableHttp Server Example
+
+A simple MCP server example demonstrating the StreamableHttp transport, which enables HTTP-based communication with MCP servers using streaming.
+
+## Features
+
+- Uses the StreamableHTTP transport for server-client communication
+- Supports REST API operations (POST, GET, DELETE) for `/mcp` endpoint
+- Task management with anyio task groups
+- Ability to send multiple notifications over time to the client
+- Proper resource cleanup and lifespan management
+- Resumability support via InMemoryEventStore
+
+## Usage
+
+Start the server on the default or custom port:
+
+```bash
+
+# Using custom port
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --port 3000
+
+# Custom logging level
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --log-level DEBUG
+
+# Enable JSON responses instead of SSE streams
+uv run mcp-simple-streamablehttp --json-response
+```
+
+The server exposes a tool named "start-notification-stream" that accepts three arguments:
+
+- `interval`: Time between notifications in seconds (e.g., 1.0)
+- `count`: Number of notifications to send (e.g., 5)
+- `caller`: Identifier string for the caller
+
+## Resumability Support
+
+This server includes resumability support through the InMemoryEventStore. This enables clients to:
+
+- Reconnect to the server after a disconnection
+- Resume event streaming from where they left off using the Last-Event-ID header
+
+
+The server will:
+- Generate unique event IDs for each SSE message
+- Store events in memory for later replay
+- Replay missed events when a client reconnects with a Last-Event-ID header
+
+Note: The InMemoryEventStore is designed for demonstration purposes only. For production use, consider implementing a persistent storage solution.
+
+
+
+## Client
+
+You can connect to this server using an HTTP client, for now only Typescript SDK has streamable HTTP client examples or you can use [Inspector](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/inspector)
