SSE transport configuration examples in the Agent SDK MCP documentation
Current Documentation
The Claude Code MCP page clearly states SSE is deprecated:
Note: SSE transport is deprecated. Please migrate to streamable HTTP transport.
However, the Agent SDK MCP documentation at platform.claude.com/docs/en/agent-sdk/mcp shows SSE transport examples without any deprecation notice:
``python from anthropic_agent_sdk import MCPServerSse server = MCPServerSse( name="sse-server", url="http://localhost:8000/sse", ) ``
What's Wrong or Missing?
The deprecation status of SSE transport is inconsistently documented:
A. Claude Code docs deprecate SSE
The mcp.md page has a clear deprecation note recommending migration to streamable HTTP.
B. Agent SDK docs show SSE without warning
The agent-sdk/mcp page includes working SSE examples but no deprecation notice, making it appear SSE is still a recommended approach.
Suggested Improvement
Add deprecation notice to the Agent SDK MCP documentation:
Before the SSE examples, add:
Note: SSE transport is deprecated. Consider using streamable HTTP transport instead. See the migration guide for details.
Or mark the MCPServerSse class itself as deprecated in the documentation.
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
