-#### SSE Mode
+#### Streamable HTTP Mode
 
 ℹ️ Note that MCP servers which use stdio as a protocol are somewhat unusual as far as client/server architectures go, as the server
 necessarily has to be started by the client in order for communication to take place via the server's standard input/output stream.
 In other words, you do not need to start the server yourself. The client application (e.g. Claude Desktop) takes care of this and
 therefore needs to be configured with a launch command.
