Transports

The Lore MCP Server supports two transport modes.

stdio (Local)

The stdio transport is used when the AI harness spawns the MCP Server as a subprocess. Best for local developer setups.

Configuration (Claude Code ~/.claude/settings.json):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lore": {
      "command": "lore-mcp",
      "args": ["--transport", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "LORE_AUTH_TOKEN": "<token>",
        "LORE_REGISTRY": "https://registry.lore.infraestrutura.app"
      }
    }
  }
}

Startup:

lore-mcp --transport stdio

HTTP-SSE (Hosted)

The http-sse transport is used for the hosted MCP Server at mcp.lore.infraestrutura.app. Clients connect via Server-Sent Events.

Configuration (Claude Code):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "lore": {
      "type": "http",
      "url": "https://mcp.lore.infraestrutura.app/sse"
    }
  }
}

Self-hosted deployment:

lore-mcp --transport http-sse --port 8080
