Problem

I have reviewed the Discord chat logs and the code, and I found that when using YAML configuration for MCP, only the stdio mode can be configured. It would be great if support could be added for configuring SSE and WebSocket modes.

Yes this is definitely an addition we want to make! I'm going to mark this as good-first-issue in case anyone would like to make an attempt at adjusting the configuration. I think it's a feasible thing for someone new to accomplish since we already have some of the code existing
