fix(express): create server per request in streamableHttpHandler - #37
Conversation
Connecting a new transport to a shared McpServer on every request made the SDK throw "Already connected to a transport" on every request after the first, permanently breaking the endpoint. Accept a server factory (matching the Hono adapter), close the transport when the response completes, and keep backwards compatibility with a plain McpServer.

Use the McpServer tool API in this example.
With SDK 1.29.0, McpServer does not expose setRequestHandler; the low-level server is available as server. Register a tool with server.tool(...), or use server.server.setRequestHandler(...) for a low-level handler.
