Love the hosted SSE/HTTP mirrors and registry. We built something similar to catch handshake drift in our remote MCP clients, and being able to replay the JSON-RPC log in-browser saved us from chasing environment-specific timeouts because we could rerun the exact frame sequence from the failure. One idea: add a little health badge per server showing last-seen transport (HTTP/SSE/WS) plus a running error count so integrators know which endpoint matches their stack before they flip the switch.

Really appreciate this — handshake drift is a real issue in MCP setups. Also love the health badge idea (showing last transport + error count would be super helpful).
Thanks for sharing

appreciate it.
we got burned by silent transport mismatch a few times, so that badge idea came from pain
if you add it, exposing "last good handshake" timestamp is super useful too.
