🌐 SSE Deployment (Production)

The server supports SSE (Server-Sent Events) transport for production deployment, enabling web-based clients and remote access.

Quick Start with SSE

# Start with SSE transport
bun run start:sse

# Or with environment variable
MCP_TRANSPORT=sse bun start

# With custom port
bun run src/index.ts --transport sse --port 8080

Docker Deployment

# Using Docker Compose
docker-compose up -d

# Or manually
docker build -t mindbody-mcp .
docker run -d -p 3000:3000 -e MCP_TRANSPORT=sse mindbody-mcp

Production Configuration

Configure via environment variables:

• MCP_TRANSPORT=sse - Enable SSE transport
• MCP_PORT=3000 - Server port
• MCP_HOST=0.0.0.0 - Server host
• MCP_CORS_ORIGIN=https://yourdomain.com - CORS configuration
• MCP_SSL_CERT=/path/to/cert.pem - SSL certificate (optional)
• MCP_SSL_KEY=/path/to/key.pem - SSL private key (optional)

Endpoints

• /health - Health check endpoint
• /info - Server information
• /sse - SSE event stream for MCP communication

For detailed deployment instructions, see SSE Deployment Guide.
