No SDK API changes since 1.7.2.
Examples:
- Add lazy-auth-server example (#679)
- Publish lazy-auth-server to npm (added to publish workflows)
Also syncs example dependency ranges to ^1.7.0 (output of npm run bump).
Add basic-server-preact, basic-server-solid, basic-server-svelte,
basic-server-vue, and debug-server to the publish workflows so they
are included in pkg-pr-new and npm deployments.

* feat(pdf-server): Interactive PDF viewer example
PDF viewer with PDF.js featuring:
- Chunked binary loading with progress bar
- Text extraction for AI context
- arXiv paper support (fetch by ID)
- Page navigation with keyboard shortcuts
- Zoom controls (including Ctrl+0 reset)
- Fullscreen mode support
- Horizontal swipe for page changes (disabled when zoomed)
- Page persistence in localStorage
- Text selection via PDF.js TextLayer
- Clickable title link to source URL
- Rounded corners and subtle border styling
* chore: Add pdf-server to screenshot generation list
* refactor(pdf-server): Simplify and generalize PDF loading
- Accept any HTTP(s) URLs instead of ArXiv-only
- Use HTTP Range requests for chunked binary loading
- Remove ArXiv-specific code (arxiv.ts, metadata fetching)
- Remove CLAUDE.md index generation
- Flatten hierarchical folder structure to simple entries list
- Remove dead code: getPdfSummary, httpFileSizes
- Simplify base64 encoding using Buffer
- Simplify chunk extraction using slice()
- Consolidate DEFAULT_PDF_URL constant
The server now works with any PDF URL, not just arXiv papers.
HTTP Range requests stream chunks on-demand when supported.
* feat(pdf-server): Include title and selection in model context
- Add pdfTitle to updateModelContext structuredContent
- Include selection position (text, start, end) when text is selected
- Add debounced selectionchange listener to update context on selection
* fix(pdf-server): Restore default URL in view_pdf schema
The UI needs the default value in the schema to show it properly.
* refactor(pdf-server): Further simplifications
- Remove hard-coded test paths from main()
- Remove unused resources: pdfs://metadata/{pdfId}, pdfs://content/{pdfId}
- Remove unused metadata fields: subject, creator, producer, creationDate, modDate
- Remove unused entry fields: relativePath, estimatedTextSize
- Remove filterEntriesByFolder and folder filter from list_pdfs
- Remove redundant output schema validation (trust typed returns)
- Simplify scanDirectory and createLocalEntry signatures
Total: 1836 → 1666 lines (-170 lines, -9%)
* refactor(pdf-server): Major simplification for didactic focus
Simplified the example to focus on key MCP Apps SDK patterns:
- Chunked data through size-limited tool calls
- Model context updates (page text + selection)
- Display modes (fullscreen vs inline)
- External links (openLink)
Changes:
- Remove local file support (HTTP URLs only)
- Restrict dynamic URLs to arxiv.org for security
- Simplify types: url instead of sourcePath/sourceType
- Simplify indexer: 168 → 44 lines
- Simplify loader: 318 → 171 lines
- Simplify server: 337 → 233 lines
- Fix selection text normalization
- Rewrite README with didactic focus
Total: 1836 → 1236 lines (-33%)
* feat(pdf-server): Add file:// URL support for local files
- Local paths are converted to file:// URLs on startup
- file:// URLs must be in the initial list (strict validation)
- Dynamic URLs still restricted to arxiv.org only
- Updated README with local file examples
* fix(pdf-server): Improve selection detection with logging
- Add logging to selectionchange handler to verify it fires
- Add fallback matching without spaces (TextLayer spans may lack spaces)
- Log selection detection success/failure for debugging
The issue: PDF.js TextLayer renders text as positioned spans without
space characters between them. When selecting across spans:
- pageText has spaces (items joined with ' ')
- sel.toString() may not have spaces
- indexOf fails to match
The fix tries exact match first, then falls back to spaceless matching.
* feat(pdf-server): Format model context as markdown with front matter
Model context now looks like:
```markdown
---
url: https://arxiv.org/pdf/...
page: 5/144
---
Page text with <pdf-selection>selected text</pdf-selection> inline.
```
This is cleaner for the model to parse and includes the source URL.
* refactor(pdf-server): Extract smart truncation helpers
Added two well-designed helpers:
formatPageContent(text, maxLength, selection?)
- Centers truncation window around selection if present
- Adds <truncated-content/> markers at elision points
- Wraps selection in <pdf-selection> tags
- Allocates 60% context before, 40% after for readability
findSelectionInText(pageText, selectedText)
- Tries exact match first
- Falls back to spaceless match for TextLayer quirks
- Returns { start, end } or undefined
Example output with selection:
```
<truncated-content/>
...context before... <pdf-selection>selected text</pdf-selection> ...context after...
<truncated-content/>
```
* fix(pdf-server): Truncate inside selection tags when selection too long
When selection is too large for the budget:
<truncated-content/><pdf-selection><truncated-content/>start...end<truncated-content/></pdf-selection><truncated-content/>
This keeps the selection structure intact while showing beginning and end.
* refactor(pdf-server): Remove unused read_pdf_text, use Attention paper as default
- Remove read_pdf_text tool (viewer extracts text client-side with pdfjs)
- Remove PdfTextChunk and ReadPdfTextInput types
- Remove loadPdfTextChunk from pdf-loader
- Change default PDF to 'Attention Is All You Need' (1706.03762)
- Update README with modest language
* refactor(pdf-server): Simplify to use URL as ID, rename view_pdf to display_pdf
Major simplifications:
- Use URL directly as identifier (no hashing)
- Remove displayName - show elided URL with full URL as tooltip
- Rename view_pdf to display_pdf with better description
- Update all references from pdfId to url
- Simplify storage key and model context
The tool description now explains it displays an interactive viewer in the chat.
* feat(pdf-server): Normalize arxiv URLs to PDF format
arxiv.org/abs/... -> arxiv.org/pdf/...
Applied both at startup and when loading dynamic URLs.
* docs(pdf-server): Add prompt engineering to display_pdf description
* fix(pdf-server): Sharp rendering on retina displays
Account for devicePixelRatio when rendering canvas:
- Scale canvas dimensions by dpr
- Scale context by dpr
- Keep CSS size at logical pixels
* fix(pdf-server): Normalize arxiv URLs in read_pdf_bytes too
* add to e2e spec
* add to e2e spec
* add to e2e spec
* add to e2e spec
* regen
* chore: regenerate package-lock.json and fix hono vulnerability
* docs: add pdf-server screenshot to READMEs
* regen
* ci: add missing examples to pkg-pr-new publish
* ci: add pdf-server to npm publish examples
* Update README.md
* pdf-server: improve tool response text for better model context
* revert unrelated screenshot changes
* pdf-server: dynamically add arxiv URLs in read_pdf_bytes
Fixes 'PDF not found' error when server restarts between display_pdf
(which adds the entry) and read_pdf_bytes (which previously only looked
up existing entries). Now read_pdf_bytes mirrors display_pdf's logic
and dynamically adds arxiv URLs to the index.
* feat: publish example servers to npm
Make example MCP App servers publishable to npm under the
@modelcontextprotocol scope:
- server-basic-react
- server-basic-vanillajs
- server-budget-allocator
- server-cohort-heatmap
- server-customer-segmentation
- server-scenario-modeler
- server-system-monitor
- server-threejs
- server-wiki-explorer
Changes:
- Remove `private: true` from example package.json files
- Add proper npm metadata (description, repository, license, files)
- Update ext-apps dependency from relative to ^0.2.2
- Copy server-utils.ts into each package for standalone use
- Add publish-examples job to npm-publish.yml workflow
The examples will be published automatically when a GitHub release
is created, after the main SDK package is published.
