Thanks for this contribution. Unfortunately, we can't accept it in its current form, because the server is stateful (we already have a session that tracks connection status) and as such, doesn't lend itself to multiple clients connecting to it - e.g., you could end up executing crud updates against the wrong connection.
We do have plans to rework the design and enable stateless operation, but that's lower priority than some of the features we're working on.

This pull request introduces support for running the MongoDB MCP server with HTTP or SSE transport using the new
--transportTypeand--portcommand-line arguments. The default port is 5700 if not specified. The Quick Start section in the README has been updated to include Option 5, providing clear instructions and example commands for exposing the server over HTTP or SSE for network-based client integration.--transportType(httporsse) and--portarguments in the server startup.--connectionString,--apiClientId, etc.) are supported with these transport types.
