 ## Features
 
-The project includes two alternative MCP servers:
+The project includes an MCP server (`src/server-remote.ts`) that communicates with the MCP client via MCP Streamable HTTP transport.
 
-- **Local MCP server** (`src/server-local.ts`) — communicates with the MCP client via stdio transport.
-- **Remote MCP server** (`src/server-remote.ts`) — communicates with the MCP client via MCP Streamable HTTP transport.
-
-The servers dynamically discover MCP tools contained in the `tools` directory.
+The server dynamically discovers MCP tools contained in the `tools` directory, whose path is specified as a command-line argument when the server is lauched.
 
 Each tool is defined and implemented in its own file. For example, the sample tool `tools/findProductById.ts` invokes an endpoint in Apache OFBiz to retrieve product information for a given product ID. This works with an out-of-the-box (OOTB) OFBiz instance with the `rest-api` plugin installed.
 
 New tools can be published by simply including their definition files in the `tools` folder.

+The server:
 
 - is compliant with the latest MCP specifications (2025-06-18)
 - supports authorization according to the MCP recommendations (OAuth Authorization Code Flow with support for Metadata discovery, Dynamic Client Registration, etc...)

-## Test the Local MCP Server
-
-You can test the local MCP server with the free version of **Claude Desktop**.
-
-Edit or create the Claude Desktop configuration file:
-
-```sh
-~/Library/Application\ Support/Claude/claude_desktop_config.json
-```
-
-Add your local MCP server configuration:
-
-```json
-{
-  "mcpServers": {
-    "Apache OFBiz": {
-      "command": "node",
-      "args": ["PATH_TO/mcp-server-for-apache-ofbiz/build/server-local.js"]
-    }
-  }
-}
-```
-
-After updating the configuration file, launch Claude Desktop and try the following sample prompts:
-
-- _"Can you provide some information about the product WG-1111?"_
-- _"Create a SEO friendly description for the product with ID GZ-1000"_
-- _"Can you provide some information about a product?"_  
-  (Claude will ask for a product ID before invoking the tool.)
-- _"Can you compare two products?"_  
-  (Claude will ask for two product IDs, invoke the tool twice, and then compare the results.)
