+    ONE server, two transports — deliberately not a second implementation (G2).

+    the other.

+    - ``stdio`` (default) — the historical path. Every interactive Claude Code
+      session reaches us this way via the ``legal-ai`` entry in ``~/.claude.json``.
+      Changing this default would break them all, so it stays the default.
+    - ``streamable-http`` — required by the agent-platform port. Agents driven
+      over the Agent Client Protocol receive their MCP servers from the *client*
+      at session start, and that channel accepts HTTP servers only: each is
+      injected as ``{type:"http", name, url, headers:[Bearer]}``. A stdio server
+      has no path into such a session at all, which is why platform-driven agents
+      lost all 108 tools when their execution engine changed — TaskMaster #231.
+      Platform-side wiring lives behind the port (``web/agent_platform_port.py``),
+      not here; this module only has to be reachable over HTTP.
+
+    Host/port come from FastMCP's own ``FASTMCP_HOST`` / ``FASTMCP_PORT`` settings.
+    Bind to loopback only: this transport carries no authentication yet, and the
