How to expose an MCP Server on the network?

[rgelb]

I built an MCP server that accesses corporate data. Everyone in the company already has Claude Desktop installed on their machines. I would like to expose this MCP server internaly https://mybigserver/mcp. This way I don't have to deploy the MCP server to 50 machines.

How exactly do I do that? Does MCP work that way at all?

You can use the SSE transport. An example of hosting such an MCP server with ASP.NET is available here:
