Building MCP Servers: Alternative Transports

Many developers are creating their own MCP Servers, to integrate their applications and APIs with AI models in a consistent way across multiple models.

The [MCP sdks](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol) currently provides two transports:  stdio (standard io), and http sse.  

I've created a new open source repo for alternative mcp transports.  

The intention is to provide alternative transports with other hardware, security, and trust properties.  

The first instance is based upon Unix Domain Sockets, which restricts the inter-process communication to processes running on the same operating system.
