HTTP connector for MCP implementations.

This module provides a connector for communicating with MCP implementations
through HTTP APIs with SSE or Streamable HTTP for transport.

## HttpConnector

<div>
  <RandomGradientBackground className="rounded-lg p-4 w-full h-full rounded-full">
    <div className="text-black">
      <div className="text-black font-bold text-xl mb-2 mt-8"><code className="!text-black">class</code> HttpConnector</div>

      Connector for MCP implementations using HTTP transport with SSE or streamable HTTP.

      This connector uses HTTP/SSE or streamable HTTP to communicate with remote MCP implementations,
      using a connection manager to handle the proper lifecycle management.
    </div>
  </RandomGradientBackground>

  ```python theme={null}
  from mcp_use.client.connectors.http import HttpConnector
