Your Question

Per my understanding, MCP supports SSE, now Streamable HTTP through a MCP session - individual events here in this context are requests and responses to and from tool.

Client > /sse

< {session starts}

/mcp

request: tools/list ### Inbound Event ###

response: list of tools response ### Outound Event ###

/mcp

request: tools/call ### Inbound Event ###

response: tool call result as response ### Outound Event ###

{end}

If one of the tool has to return chunks of larger response as events - meaning one tool having multiple responses, how can I go about that?
