Description

Docs state that all you have to do to run the server is:

python server.py

...but without any info that it starts the server in stdio mode.

To run in sse mode you have to:

python src/server.py --transport sse

Then this part of docs works as intended inside the IDE:

{
  "servers": {
    "mariadb-mcp-server": {
      "url": "http://{host}:9001/sse",
      "type": "sse"
    }
  }
}

Research direction

Start by finding the documentation section that currently shows python server.py, then compare it with the src/server.py --transport sse command and the SSE IDE configuration shown in the issue. Done means the docs explicitly identify the default stdio mode and explain how to start the server in SSE mode.
