+# HTTP/REST MCP Server Demo
+
+This example demonstrates how to create MCP servers that work **both locally and remotely** using HeroLib's HTTP/REST transport.
+
+## 🎯 What This Solves
+
+Your teammate's request: *"Can you make one which is working over the REST protocol? So MCPs, you can call them locally or you can call them remotely... and then in a coding agent like VS Code, you can talk to the MCP, and if you run it, the only thing you have to do is attach an HTTP URL to it."*
+
+✅ **This example shows exactly that!**
+
+## 🚀 Quick Start
+
+### 1. Run Locally (STDIO mode)
+
+```bash
+# Traditional MCP server for local use
+./server.vsh
+```
+
+### 2. Run Remotely (HTTP mode)
+
+```bash
+# HTTP server that can be accessed remotely
+./server.vsh --http --port 8080
+```
+
+## 📡 Available Tools
+
+This demo server provides three useful tools:
+
+1. **`read_file`** - Read file contents
+2. **`calculator`** - Basic math operations (add, subtract, multiply, divide)
+3. **`system_info`** - Get system information (OS, time, user, home directory)
+
+## 🧪 Testing the HTTP Server
+
+### Health Check
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+```
+
+### List Available Tools
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/tools
+```
+
+### Call Tools via REST API
+
+**Calculator:**
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/calculator/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"operation":"add","num1":10,"num2":5}'
+```
+
+**System Info:**
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/system_info/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"type":"os"}'
+```
+
+**Read File:**
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/read_file/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"path":"README.md"}'
+```
+
+### Call Tools via JSON-RPC
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"calculator","arguments":{"operation":"multiply","num1":7,"num2":8}}}'
+```
+
+## 🔌 VS Code Integration
+
+To use this server with VS Code extensions (like Continue.dev or Cline):
+
+1. **Start the HTTP server:**
+
+   ```bash
+   ./server.vsh --http --port 8080
+   ```
+
+2. **Add to your VS Code MCP settings:**
+
+   ```json
+   {
+     "mcpServers": {
+       "http_demo": {
+         "transport": "http",
+         "url": "http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc"
+       }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+
+3. **That's it!** The coding agent can now call your MCP server remotely via HTTP.
+
+## 🌐 Remote Access
+
+The HTTP mode allows your MCP server to be accessed from anywhere:
+
+- **Same machine**: `http://localhost:8080`
+- **Local network**: `http://192.168.1.100:8080`
+- **Internet**: `http://your-server.com:8080`
+- **Cloud deployment**: Deploy to any cloud platform
+
+## 🔄 Dual Mode Support
+
+The same server code works in both modes:
+
+| Mode | Usage | Access |
+|------|-------|--------|
+| **STDIO** | `./server.vsh` | Local process communication |
+| **HTTP** | `./server.vsh --http --port 8080` | Remote HTTP/REST access |
+
+## 🏗️ Architecture

+```
+
+- **AI Client**: VS Code extension, web app, or any HTTP client
+- **HTTP Server**: Handles HTTP/REST and JSON-RPC protocols
+- **MCP Tools**: Your business logic (file operations, calculations, etc.)
+
+## 🛠️ Creating Your Own HTTP MCP Server
+
+1. **Define your tools and handlers**
+2. **Create the backend with your tools**
+3. **Add transport configuration**
+4. **Parse command line arguments for HTTP mode**
+
+```v
+// Your tool handler
+fn my_tool_handler(arguments map[string]json2.Any) !mcp.ToolCallResult {
+    // Your logic here
+    return mcp.ToolCallResult{
+        is_error: false
+        content: [mcp.ToolContent{typ: 'text', text: 'Result'}]
+    }
+}
+
+// Create server with HTTP support
+mut server := mcp.new_server(backend, mcp.ServerParams{
+    config: config
+    transport: transport.TransportConfig{
+        mode: .http  // or .stdio
+        http: transport.HttpConfig{port: 8080, protocol: .both}
+    }
+})!
+```
+
+## 🎉 Benefits
+
+- ✅ **Zero code changes** - Same MCP server works locally and remotely
+- ✅ **Simple deployment** - Just add `--http --port 8080`
+- ✅ **Multiple protocols** - JSON-RPC and REST API support
+- ✅ **Web integration** - Can be called from web applications
+- ✅ **VS Code ready** - Works with coding agents out of the box
+- ✅ **Scalable** - Deploy to cloud, use load balancers, etc.
+
+This is exactly what your teammate requested - MCP servers that work both locally and remotely with simple HTTP URL configuration! 🚀

+# HTTP MCP Server Example
+
+This example demonstrates how to create an MCP server that supports both STDIO and HTTP transports using the new transport abstraction layer.
+
+## Features
+
+- **Dual Transport Support**: Can run in both STDIO and HTTP modes
+- **JSON-RPC over HTTP**: Standard MCP protocol over HTTP
+- **REST API**: User-friendly REST endpoints
+- **CORS Support**: Cross-origin requests enabled
+- **Two Example Tools**: `custom_method` and `calculate`
+
+## Usage
+
+### STDIO Mode (Default)
+
+```bash
+# Run in STDIO mode (compatible with MCP inspector)
+./server.vsh
+```
+
+### HTTP Mode
+
+```bash
+# Run HTTP server on default port 8080
+./server.vsh --http
+
+# Run HTTP server on custom port
+./server.vsh --http --port 3000
+```
+
+## API Endpoints
+
+When running in HTTP mode, the server exposes:
+
+### JSON-RPC Endpoint
+
+- **POST** `/jsonrpc` - Standard JSON-RPC 2.0 endpoint
+
+Example:
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/list","params":{}}'
+```
+
+### REST API Endpoints
+
+- **GET** `/api/tools` - List all available tools
+- **POST** `/api/tools/:name/call` - Call a specific tool
+- **GET** `/api/resources` - List all available resources
+- **GET** `/health` - Health check
+
+### Examples
+
+#### List Tools
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/api/tools
+```
+
+#### Call Calculator Tool
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/calculate/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"num1": 5, "num2": 3}'
+```
+
+#### Call Custom Method Tool
+
+```bash
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/custom_method/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"message": "Hello from REST API!"}'
+```
+
+#### Health Check
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:8080/health
+```
+
+## Integration with AI Clients
+
+### MCP Inspector
+
+Use STDIO mode:
+
+```bash
+# In MCP Inspector, set command to:
+<path-to-server.vsh>
+```
+
+### VS Code Extensions (Future)
+
+Use HTTP mode:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "http_example": {
+      "transport": "http",
+      "url": "http://localhost:8080/jsonrpc"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Web Applications
+
+Use REST API:
+
+```javascript
+// List tools
+const tools = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/api/tools').then(r => r.json());
+
+// Call a tool
+const result = await fetch('http://localhost:8080/api/tools/calculate/call', {
+  method: 'POST',
+  headers: { 'Content-Type': 'application/json' },
+  body: JSON.stringify({ num1: 10, num2: 20 })
+}).then(r => r.json());
+```
+
+## Architecture
+
+This example demonstrates the new transport abstraction:
+
+```
+┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐    ┌─────────────────┐
+│   MCP Tools     │    │   JSON-RPC      │    │   Transport     │
+│   & Handlers    │◄──►│   Handler       │◄──►│   Layer         │
+│                 │    │   (Unchanged)   │    │   (STDIO/HTTP)  │
+└─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘    └─────────────────┘
+```
+
+The same MCP server code works with both transports without any changes to the business logic.
+
+## Benefits
+
+1. **Zero Breaking Changes**: Existing STDIO servers continue to work
+2. **Remote Access**: HTTP mode enables network access
+3. **Web Integration**: REST API for web applications
+4. **Flexible Deployment**: Choose transport based on use case
+5. **Future Proof**: Easy to add more transports (WebSocket, gRPC, etc.)

@@ -4,10 +4,55 @@ This module provides a V language implementation of the [Model Context Protocol
 
 ## Overview
 
-The MCP module serves as a core library for building MCP-compliant servers in V. Its main purpose is to provide all the boilerplate MCP functionality, so implementers only need to define and register their specific handlers. The module handles the Standard Input/Output (stdio) transport as described in the [MCP transport specification](https://modelcontextprotocol.io/docs/concepts/transports), enabling standardized communication between AI models and their context providers.
+The MCP module serves as a core library for building MCP-compliant servers in V. Its main purpose is to provide all the boilerplate MCP functionality, so implementers only need to define and register their specific handlers. The module supports **both local (STDIO) and remote (HTTP/REST) transports**, enabling standardized communication between AI models and their context providers.
 
 The module implements all the required MCP protocol methods (resources/list, tools/list, prompts/list, etc.) and manages the underlying JSON-RPC communication, allowing developers to focus solely on implementing their specific tools and handlers. The module itself is not a standalone server but rather a framework that can be used to build different MCP server implementations. The subdirectories within this module (such as `baobab` and `developer`) contain specific implementations of MCP servers that utilize this core framework.
 
+## 🚀 HTTP/REST Transport Support
+
+**NEW**: MCP servers can now run in HTTP mode for remote access:
+
+```bash
+# Local mode (traditional STDIO)
+./your_mcp_server.vsh
+
+# Remote mode (HTTP/REST)
+./your_mcp_server.vsh --http --port 8080
+```
+
+### Key Benefits
+
+- 🔌 **VS Code Integration**: Connect coding agents via HTTP URL
+- 🌐 **Remote Deployment**: Run on servers, access from anywhere
+- 📱 **Web Integration**: Call from web applications via REST API
+- ⚖️ **Scalability**: Multiple instances, load balancing support
+
+### Available Endpoints
+
+- `POST /jsonrpc` - JSON-RPC over HTTP
+- `GET /api/tools` - List available tools (REST)
+- `POST /api/tools/:name/call` - Call tools (REST)
+- `GET /health` - Health check
+
+### Example Usage
+
+```bash
+# Start HTTP server
+./examples/mcp/http_demo/server.vsh --http --port 8080
+
+# Test via REST API
+curl -X POST http://localhost:8080/api/tools/calculator/call \
+  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+  -d '{"operation":"add","num1":10,"num2":5}'
+
