-#### Message Dispatch Options
-
-By default, the SSE server uses an in-memory message dispatch system for incoming POST messages. For production deployments or distributed scenarios, you can use Redis or implement your own message dispatch system that conforms to the `MessageDispatch` protocol:
-
-```python
-# Using the built-in Redis message dispatch
-from mcp.server.fastmcp import FastMCP
-from mcp.server.message_queue import RedisMessageDispatch
-
-# Create a Redis message dispatch
-redis_dispatch = RedisMessageDispatch(
-    redis_url="redis://localhost:6379/0", prefix="mcp:pubsub:"
-)
-
-# Pass the message dispatch instance to the server
-mcp = FastMCP("My App", message_queue=redis_dispatch)
-```
-
-To use Redis, add the Redis dependency:
-
-```bash
-uv add "mcp[redis]"
-```
-
