When does this happen?
IF When using MCP Inspector to test an SSE MCP server, inspector fails with 'Invalid transport type specified' after the initial SSE connection due to a missing POST /messages route.
How others solved it
THEN Implement both a GET /sse route that creates and stores an SSEServerTransport instance (using the response object), and a POST /messages route that calls transport.handlePostMessage(req, res) to handle incoming client messages. For single-connection testing, store the transport in a global variable; for multiple connections, index by session ID.
// GET /sse
app.get("/sse", async (req, res) => {
const transport = new SSEServerTransport("/messages", res);
await server.connect(transport);
// Store transport for POST handler
activeTransport = transport;
});
// POST /messages
app.post("/messages", async (req, res) => {
await activeTransport.handlePostMessage(req, res);
