SSE
Server-Sent Events (SSE) is a server push technology based on the HTTP protocol that allows a server to unidirectionally and continuously send event stream data to clients over a persistent connection. Core characteristics include a long-lived connection initiated by the client, unidirectional data transmission in text format, and support for automatic reconnection. SSE is commonly used in web application scenarios requiring server-initiated updates, such as real-time notifications, data push, and log streaming.
Core Facts
SSE or WebSocket protocols can push the model's token-by-token generated content to the front end in real time, enabling streaming responses from the Agent
SSE is a server push technology defined in the HTML5 standard that allows a server to unidirectionally push data to a client over an HTTP connection.

Timeline (last 90 days)
A more mature approach for asynchronous tasks is to switch to Webhook callbacks or server-side push (such as SSE), with the platform proactively notifying when a task completes, fundamentally eliminating polling overhead
Compared with HTTP or SSE transport, MCP's stdio transport has lower latency and requires no open ports, making it naturally suited to local tool scenarios, but it cannot be used across machines — when remote access is needed, you still have to switch to a network-based transport.
The SSE streaming protocol is directly cut off by the Wi-Fi acceleration features of some mobile phone manufacturers, and WeChat's built-in browser blocks the site.
x86's SSE and AVX2 lacked direct equivalent vectorized CLZ/CTZ instructions for a long period of time.
A bare newline appearing directly in the data: line of SSE will break the frame structure; each piece of text should be encoded as JSON to work around this issue.
A single network read() may contain only half an SSE message, so a buffer must be maintained and complete events must be split on \n\n boundaries.
Even with connection multiplexing via SSE, each tool call still requires completing a JSON-RPC-layer handshake and negotiation, which is fundamentally different from directly reusing a database driver connection pool.
MCP leverages SSE to achieve transport-layer multiplexing, allowing multiple logical tool calls to share the same underlying connection, while isolating the Agent runtime and limiting raw socket exposure.
useChat internally encapsulates logic such as streaming communication with AI models, message history maintenance, and loading state tracking, so developers do not need to manually handle SSE or ReadableStream parsing.
Because LLM inference latency is typically on the order of several seconds, synchronous HTTP requests are prone to triggering gateway timeouts, and production deployments often need to introduce task queues (such as Celery or BullMQ) or WebSocket/SSE to maintain persistent connections.
