Handing MCP tool streaming and notifications

[IamVNIE]

How do I handle MCP tool report progress notifications and tool streaming. My MCP server has multiple tools, and follows the same streaming protocol and MCP notification protocol. How do I handle it in client side? Streaming and notifications are two separate things.

FastMCP does support streaming partial results from tools while they're still executing, enabling responsive UIs and real-time feedback.

This is particularly useful for:

• Long-running operations that generate content incrementally
• Progressive generation of text, images, or other media
• Operations where users benefit from seeing immediate partial results

ai SDK needs to support the same. Would love to see any working examples.
