+/**
+ * Unit tests for MCP server config conversion (toSdkMcpConfig).
+ *
+ * Run with: npx tsx --test src/__tests__/unit/mcp-config.test.ts
+ *
+ * Tests verify that:
+ * 1. stdio transport configs are correctly converted
+ * 2. SSE transport configs include type, url, and headers
+ * 3. HTTP transport configs include type, url, and headers
+ * 4. Missing url for SSE/HTTP servers are skipped with warning
+ * 5. Missing command for stdio servers are skipped
+ * 6. Default transport type is stdio when not specified
+ * 7. Mixed transport types work together
