SSE transport has been removed from newer versions of the MCP spec. Streamable HTTP is preferred as it is more reliable. Moves SSE examples to a collapsed details section at the bottom of the example list and removes them from the 'How to Run' section.

@alexhancock I think we definitely could do this if you'd be open to it. SSE was removed from the spec quite some time ago now and I don't think anyone should be creating new SSE servers. I can see it being useful for people maintaining older SSE servers. But there might just not really be any (from Claude.ai traffic I don't think there are any popular rust SSE servers AFAIK). Again, up to you! Happy to put a PR up to remove if you think we can :) |

@domdomegg Yeah I am comfortable scorched-earthing SSE stuff now if you want - feels like time... If someone really wants to do SSE in rust they can rely on an older version of the package until they switch to streamable http. |

SSE transport has been removed from the MCP specification in favor of streamable HTTP. This removes all SSE-specific transport code: - Remove `transport-sse-client` and `transport-sse-server` features - Remove `SseClientTransport` and `SseServer` types - Remove SSE-specific examples (`counter_sse`, `counter_sse_directly`) - Migrate auth examples from SSE to streamable HTTP - Update tests to remove SSE transport usage - Update documentation BREAKING CHANGE: The following have been removed: - `transport-sse-client` feature - `transport-sse-client-reqwest` feature - `transport-sse-server` feature - `SseClientTransport` type - `SseServer` type - `sse_client` and `sse_server` modules Users should migrate to streamable HTTP transport which provides equivalent functionality. See `StreamableHttpClientTransport` and `StreamableHttpService` for the replacement APIs. Ref: #561 (comment)
