STDIO Transport

STDIO is the default transport for flyto-core's MCP server. It communicates via standard input/output, making it ideal for local MCP clients.

Start the Server

flyto-core mcp

How It Works

The MCP client spawns flyto-core as a subprocess and communicates via stdin/stdout using the MCP protocol (JSON-RPC over STDIO).

MCP Client ←→ stdin/stdout ←→ flyto-core

Client Configuration

Claude Desktop

Edit ~/Library/Application Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json (macOS) or %APPDATA%\Claude\claude_desktop_config.json (Windows):

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flyto-core": {
      "command": "flyto-core",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

Claude Code

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "flyto-core": {
      "command": "flyto-core",
      "args": ["mcp"]
    }
  }
}

When to Use STDIO

• Single-user, local development
• Claude Desktop or VS Code integration
• No network configuration needed
