Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
When I first started working with the reference servers, I was frustrated that most of the servers only supported stdio transport. If the reference servers are intended to also act as a reference for people looking to implement their own custom servers, having examples of how to change the transport, especially in the typescript-based servers, would be beneficial.

Describe the solution you'd like
All reference servers have a way to run them with both stdio and sse transport. For the typescript servers, the everything implementation could be used as reference.

Research direction

Start with the TypeScript reference implementation in src/everything/sse.ts and compare how the other reference servers expose transport options. Determine the complete set of reference servers and the intended distinction between Streamable HTTP and SSE; done means each server can run with both stdio and the requested HTTP-based transport.
