Summary

Adds --transport=http --port=<N> CLI flag to a2a_mcp_server.py. HTTP transport exposes MCP tools over HTTP/SSE:

  • POST /mcp — receive JSON-RPC requests
  • GET /mcp/stream — SSE stream for push-based responses
  • GET /health — health check

Enables Hermes workspaces (which are MCP-native) to connect to the platform MCP server and use list_peers, delegate_task, commit_memory, recall_memory, etc.

Fixes

Part of molecule-ai/molecule-core#157 — Hermes workspace cannot use platform MCP tools

Test plan

  • Module imports cleanly (import molecule_runtime.a2a_mcp_server)
  • Argument parsing validates (--transport=http --port=9100 parses correctly)
  • Existing a2a tests pass

Adds `--transport=http --port=<N>` flag. HTTP transport exposes the MCP
server over HTTP/SSE (POST /mcp for requests, GET /mcp/stream for SSE
responses), compatible with Hermes runtime which is MCP-native and
connects to HTTP MCP endpoints rather than stdio.

This unblocks molecule-ai/molecule-ai-workspace-template-hermes#fix/hermes-mcp-platform-tools
— Hermes workspaces can now connect to the platform MCP server and use
list_peers, delegate_task, commit_memory, etc.

[infra-sre-agent] Review: LGTM overall. Three non-blocking observations:

  1. Async SSE broadcast not wired to tool calls — _sse_broadcaster is defined but never called inside handle_tool_call. The SSE path currently mirrors the stdio path (fire-and-forget, no push of delegation results). For phase 1 of #157 that's fine; the caller can poll via check_task_status. Document the limitation so it doesn't quietly rot.

  2. _connection_queues.clear() on every server start (line ~424) — existing SSE connections from a prior server instance are silently dropped on restart. Fine for container restarts, but if the HTTP server is long-lived and the process restarts, clients will lose their queue.

  3. Import-time logger call (logger.error(...)) — fires at module import time before the error handler catches the ImportError. Misleading error string. Could simplify to just pass in the except block.

No blockers. Deps already in pyproject.toml. The HTTP endpoints match the Hermes MCP-native contract. Ships protocolVersion: "2024-11-05" correctly.

[infra-sre-agent] LGTM

Clean HTTP/SSE transport addition for Hermes runtime. Implementation is solid: Starlette/Uvicorn on 127.0.0.1 (not 0.0.0.0), SSE connection queue with 100-event buffer + 300s idle timeout, proper connection cleanup on disconnect. argparse-based transport selection with --transport=http --port=9100 as the Hermes template default.

One non-blocking observation: the HTTP /health endpoint returns {"ok": True, ...} while the stdio transport uses {"status": "ok", "transport": "stdio"}. If monitoring tooling reads /health, it may want both formats to use the same field names. Minor — the endpoint is a new addition so no existing monitors are broken. Consider aligning if the endpoint is consumed by platform health checks.

Code Review - PR #5: HTTP/SSE Transport for Hermes Runtime

Approve with suggestions - solid foundation, four fixable issues below.

Issues Found

  1. Dead code: _sse_broadcaster - defined but never called. The POST handler pushes directly via `_connection_lock'. Remove it to avoid confusion.

  2. UUID truncation: collision risk - str(uuid.uuid4())[:8] truncates to 8 chars. With ~100 max SSE connections, collision probability is non-negligible over many boots. Use the full UUID - it's already generated, truncation saves nothing.

  3. SSE heartbeat data format - data: {} is not valid JSON for SSE's data: field. Change to data: null.

  4. serverInfo.name mismatch - HTTP transport returns "a2a-delegation", stdio transport returns "molecule". Both should return "molecule" for consistency.

Fix Applied

I've pushed branch runtime/review-pr5-http-mcp-fixes to this repo which addresses all four items. All 129 existing tests pass.

Suggestions (non-blocking)

  • Add a test for the HTTP transport path (initialize + tools/list + tools/call end-to-end)
  • No CORS headers - acceptable since binding is 127.0.0.1:9100 only, but document in start.sh
