### Server with JSON response mode (`server/jsonResponseStreamableHttp.ts`)
10+
11+
A simple MCP server that uses the Streamable HTTP transport with JSON response mode enabled, implemented with Express. The server provides a simple `greet` tool that returns a greeting for a name.
12+
13+
#### Running the server
14+
15+
```bash
16+
npx tsx src/examples/server/jsonResponseStreamableHttp.ts
17+
```
18+
19+
The server will start on port 3000. You can test the initialization and tool calling:
20+
21+
```bash
22+
# Initialize the server and get the session ID from headers
23+
SESSION_ID=$(curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \
24+
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"initialize","params":{"capabilities":{}},"id":"1"}' \
25+
-i http://localhost:3000/mcp 2>&1 | grep -i "mcp-session-id" | cut -d' ' -f2 | tr -d '\r')
26+
echo "Session ID: $SESSION_ID"
27+
28+
# Call the greet tool using the saved session ID
29+
curl -X POST -H "Content-Type: application/json" -H "Accept: application/json" \
30+
-H "mcp-session-id: $SESSION_ID" \
31+
-d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","method":"mcp.call_tool","params":{"name":"greet","arguments":{"name":"World"}},"id":"2"}' \
32+
http://localhost:3000/mcp
33+
```
34+
35+
Note that in this example, we're using plain JSON response mode by setting `Accept: application/json` header.
