npm normalizes the bare https URL to git+https://….git at publish time
and warns about it on every package. Storing the canonical form removes
the warning and matches what npm's trusted-publisher check compares
against the repository.
Install @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps@1.7.5 under the npm alias ext-apps-v1
(plus @modelcontextprotocol/sdk@1.30.0, its peer) as devDependencies and run
the 2.x App against the 1.x AppBridge and vice versa over an in-memory
duplex, with each bridge fronting a real Client+McpServer of its own SDK
generation. Covers initialize, notifications, view-to-host requests,
tool/resource proxying, error codes, AbortSignal cancellation, teardown and
close.
The client, core and server packages become ^2.0.0 peers and client is
now a required peer (App and AppBridge extend its Protocol class);
server stays optional for View-only consumers. Examples move to
zod ^4.2.0 to match the library peer range.
The root package is not yet published at 2.0.0, so the lockfile now
links the examples' @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps dependency to the
repository root instead of a registry copy. This drops the stale 1.x
tarball (and its sdk 1.x peer) from the lockfile and makes
scripts/link-self.mjs a no-op.
App and AppBridge extend the public Protocol from @modelcontextprotocol/client; the iframe wire protocol (ui/initialize only) is unchanged. Peers move to the split SDK 2.0 packages with client and server as optional role peers. Fixups (lockfile, peer ranges, restored handler guards, docs, wire-compat tests) follow in a separate PR.

Closes#702
Non-breaking transitive updates via `npm audit fix`, plus a `sharp` major
bump. Takes `npm audit` from 15 findings (2 critical, 7 high, 4 moderate,
2 low) to 3 moderate.
Critical / high:
- shell-quote 1.8.3 -> 1.9.0 (GHSA-w7jw-789q-3m8p, GHSA-395f-4hp3-45gv)
- @babel/core 7.28.6 -> 7.29.7 (GHSA-4x5r-pxfx-6jf8)
- sharp ^0.34.5 -> ^0.35.3 (GHSA-f88m-g3jw-g9cj; libvips CVE-2026-33327,
CVE-2026-33328, CVE-2026-35590, CVE-2026-35591)
- brace-expansion 1.1.16 / 2.1.2 (GHSA-3jxr-9vmj-r5cp)
- fast-uri 3.1.4 (GHSA-v2hh-gcrm-f6hx, GHSA-4c8g-83qw-93j6)
- hono 4.12.31 (8 advisories, incl. GHSA-88fw-hqm2-52qc, GHSA-hvrm-45r6-mjfj)
- linkify-it 5.0.2 (GHSA-22p9-wv53-3rq4, GHSA-v245-v573-v5vm)
Plus markdown-it 14.3.0, body-parser 2.3.0, type-is 2.1.0, undici 7.28.0
and vite 6.4.3.
sharp is a devDependency used only by tests/e2e/generate-grid-screenshots,
which is testIgnore'd unless GENERATE_SCREENSHOTS=1. The only breaking
change in 0.35 is the Node floor moving to >=20.9.0, and CI runs Node 22;
the API used (png / resize / toFile) is unchanged.
The 3 remaining findings are all the same advisory (GHSA-frvp-7c67-39w9,
path traversal in @hono/node-server's serve-static on Windows), reported
once each for @hono/node-server, @modelcontextprotocol/sdk and
@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps. The fix is in @hono/node-server 2.0.5 but
sdk 1.29.0 pins ^1.19.9, so the range cannot reach it; that needs an
upstream bump. It is not reachable here either way — the SDK imports only
getRequestListener and serve from that package, never serve-static.
The Protocol-based migration needs the Protocol class exported from the
package roots, which lands in modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#2501.
Pin the preview builds so the branch is installable; swap to the next
published beta once that PR is released.
Replaces the Client/Server subclassing from the v2 migration with direct
Protocol extension, now that the SDK exports Protocol from the client
package root. This restores the v1 wire contract on the iframe channel:
ui/initialize is the first and only handshake, so deployed hosts keep
working unchanged.
Deleted with the double handshake: the inner MCP initialize round-trip
and its pinned protocol version, the contentless inner capabilities and
their retro-registration plumbing, the oninitialized defineProperty
shadow, and the getCapabilities/getHostCapabilities split (v1
getCapabilities restored). Tests pin the wire order and assert no MCP
initialize is sent in either direction.
Note: package.json overrides point the SDK packages at locally built
tarballs carrying the Protocol export; replace with published versions
before any upstream PR.
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).
No SDK API changes since 1.7.1.
Examples:
- pdf-server: switch pdf-lib to maintained @cantoo/pdf-lib fork (#651)
- bump example transitives to latest patches (#658)
* ci: automate release process with workflow-driven version bumps and PR flow
Adds a Release workflow that bumps all package versions, generates release
notes, and opens a PR. Merging the PR auto-tags and creates the GitHub
Release, which triggers npm-publish. Also adds `npm run bump` for local use
and a release.yml config for categorized auto-generated notes.
* ci: simplify release workflow and flatten npm-publish approval chain
- Drop auto-generated RELEASES.md prepending (notes are written manually in PR)
- Flatten npm-publish job dependencies so all publish jobs wait for approval
together instead of sequentially, reducing 3 approval clicks to 1
- Remove Release environment from publish-mcpb (only needs GH_TOKEN)
- Use --generate-notes for GitHub Release creation
* fix: address review findings in release automation
- release.yml: use RELEASE_TOKEN PAT for gh release create so the
release:published event triggers npm-publish (GITHUB_TOKEN events
don't cascade to other workflows)
- release.yml: checkout merge_commit_sha in tag job instead of ref:main
to avoid tagging later commits
- release.yml: checkout ref:main in prepare job so dispatching from a
feature branch doesn't pollute the release PR
- release.yml: constrain preid to type:choice[beta] to match
npm-publish.yml's tag detection
- release.yml: drop -f on push so re-runs fail loudly instead of
clobbering manual RELEASES.md edits; drop pr-edit fallback
- release.yml: ensure release label exists before gh pr create
- release.yml: make tag push idempotent for re-runs after partial
failure
- bump-version.mjs: update workspace dependency ranges so major bumps
don't leave examples pointing at the old major
- bump-version.mjs: run npm install --package-lock-only so npm ci
on the release PR doesn't fail on lockfile mismatch
- npm-publish.yml: add npm-tag detection to publish-examples so beta
example releases don't overwrite latest
- .github/release.yml: use [bot] suffix in author excludes so
dependabot PRs are actually filtered from release notes
- CONTRIBUTING.md: document RELEASE_TOKEN setup; fix npm run -- syntax
* style: auto-fix prettier formatting
* build: add npm run bump; parallel npm-publish approval
- scripts/bump-version.mjs (+ npm run bump): bumps root and all workspace
package versions, updates examples' ^X.Y.0 dependency range on the root
package (matters on major bumps), and refreshes package-lock so npm ci
accepts the release PR.
- npm-publish.yml: all publish jobs now depend directly on [build, test]
instead of chaining, so they enter "waiting for approval" together and a
single Review-deployments click approves the lot. Prerelease versions
(any X.Y.Z-…) publish under --tag beta so they don't take latest.
- CONTRIBUTING.md: release steps now use npm run bump.
Dropped from the original change: the workflow_dispatch release.yml
(required a long-lived PAT to cascade events), label-based
.github/release.yml auto-notes (PRs aren't labeled today), and the
release-X.Y npm-tag for non-main branches (no backport branches yet).

budget-allocator:
- get-allocations: Get current budget allocations
- set-allocation: Set allocation for a category
- set-total-budget: Adjust total budget
- set-company-stage: Change stage for benchmarks
- get-benchmark-comparison: Compare against benchmarks
shadertoy:
- set-shader-source: Update shader source code

- get-visible-nodes: List visible nodes
threejs:
- set-scene-source: Update the Three.js scene source code
- get-scene-info: Get current scene state and any errors
- Sends syntax errors to model via updateModelContext
* feat: Add expand-node tool to wiki-explorer and update tool descriptions
Wiki Explorer:
- Add expand-node tool - the critical missing tool for graph exploration
- Claude can now programmatically expand nodes to discover linked articles
Server descriptions updated to mention widget tools:
- map-server: navigate-to, get-current-view
- pdf-server: go-to-page, get-page-text, search-text, set-zoom, get-document-info
- budget-allocator: get-allocations, set-allocation, set-total-budget, etc.
- shadertoy: set-shader-source, get-shader-info
- wiki-explorer: expand-node, search-article, highlight-node, etc.
All descriptions now mention 'Use list_widget_tools to discover available actions.'
* refactor: Simplify tool descriptions - remove client implementation details
The server tool descriptions now just mention that widgets are interactive
and can be controlled, without teaching the model about list_widget_tools
(which is the client's responsibility to teach).
Before: 'The widget exposes tools: X, Y, Z. Use list_widget_tools to discover...'
After: 'The widget is interactive and exposes tools for X and Y.'
* Remove ui/screenshot and ui/click protocol methods
These will be proposed separately from the app tool registration changes.
* fix(app): auto-register tools capability in registerTool
When registerTool is called before connect() on an App created without
explicit tools capability, setRequestHandler's capability assertion
would throw, breaking app initialization at module load.
Auto-register { tools: { listChanged: true } } on first registerTool
call (pre-connect only), mirroring McpServer.registerTool behavior.
Fixes pdf-annotations e2e failures where the PDF canvas never rendered
because registerTool threw at module scope.
* pdf-server: replace app-tools with 1:1 interact command mapping
Converts the 5 placeholder app-registered tools into 12 tools that map
directly to the server's interact commands (navigate, search, find,
search_navigate, zoom, add_annotations, update_annotations,
remove_annotations, highlight_text, fill_form, get_text, get_screenshot)
plus the existing get-document-info.
Implementation stays DRY by dispatching through the existing
processCommands() handler — each tool callback constructs a PdfCommand
and runs it via a small runCommand() wrapper. For get_text and
get_screenshot, the page-data collection is extracted from
handleGetPages into a shared collectPageData() helper so results can
be returned directly instead of round-tripping through the server.
Tool names and zod schemas mirror the interact command parameter shapes
from server.ts so the model sees the same surface whether it goes
through interact or app-tools. The server-side interact tool is
unchanged and remains available for hosts without app-tool support.
* chore: drop unused test vars and stale Request/Result imports
* docs(spec): address review feedback on app tool registration
- Add outputSchema to Tool struct (matches SDK + core MCP)
- Reword "black box" bullets: drop stale screenshots reference, clarify no DOM access
- Clarify push vs pull contrast with explicit setWidgetState + ui/update-model-context refs
- Add Task-reference future-work bullet for tools outliving render lifecycle
* docs(spec): clarify app DOM is not host-introspectable; frame tools as pull complementing update-model-context push
* fix(app): emit title and omit absent outputSchema in tools/list
* feat(app): accept Standard Schema in registerTool/registerAppTool
App.registerTool and registerAppTool now accept any schema implementing
the Standard Schema spec (Zod ≥3.25, ArkType, Valibot, …) instead of
zod-only. Uses ~standard.validate / ~standard.jsonSchema directly, so
app.ts no longer imports zod at runtime — zod is now an optional peer.
Mirrors the StandardSchemaWithJSON type from
modelcontextprotocol/typescript-sdk#1689 so bumping to SDK v2 is a
drop-in import swap. Adds @standard-schema/spec (types-only) and a
hand-rolled non-zod test.
* docs(spec): reference core MCP Tasks for long-running app tools
App tools/call MAY be task-augmented per the core MCP Tasks utility
(spec 2025-11-25). Adds a Long-Running App Tools subsection: hosts proxy
tasks/* while the app is mounted; apps SHOULD delegate long-lived work
to the server so the task survives iframe teardown. Removes the stale
'future extension' bullet — Tasks is shipped.
* docs(spec): note Schema Validation accepts any Standard Schema library
* chore: clean unused-var and no-op-await diagnostics in app.ts and tests
* refactor(app): fold error prefix into validateStandardSchema; clarify registerAppTool runtime caveat
* chore(typedoc): mark RequestHandlerExtra as intentionally not exported
AppToolCallback (introduced with the Standard Schema migration) references
the local RequestHandlerExtra alias in its parameter type. The alias is a
private Parameters<> derivation and isn't part of the public API surface,
so add it to intentionallyNotExported alongside AppOptions/MethodSchema.
* fix(app): restore zod v3.25 compat via lazy z.toJSONSchema fallback
zod v3.25.x implements ~standard.validate but not ~standard.jsonSchema,
so constraining to StandardSchemaWithJSON broke the ^3.25.0 peer range.
Widen registerTool to StandardSchemaV1 and fall back to a lazy zod/v4
import for serialization when ~standard.jsonSchema is absent and
vendor==='zod'. Non-zod schemas without jsonSchema get a clear error.
* docs(spec): slim Long-Running App Tools to a pointer into core MCP Tasks
* chore: add TODO(sdk-v2) marker in standard-schema.ts
* fix(app): align registerTool runtime with declared types
- Handler reads registeredTool.{input,output}Schema so update() takes effect
- Call cb(extra) when no inputSchema, matching AppToolCallback<undefined>
- Throw on duplicate name; guard list_changed pre-connect; notify on register
- Drop misleading zod optional peer (still required by generated/schema.ts)
- examples: fix pdf search/find stale match count; threejs set-scene-source re-render
- spec: Zod → Standard Schema; clarify tools availability via tools/list after init
* feat(app): type structuredContent from outputSchema in registerTool
AppToolCallback gains an Out param: when outputSchema is provided,
structuredContent is required and typed via StandardSchemaV1.InferOutput,
with an `isError: true` escape hatch. Without outputSchema, return type
is unchanged (CallToolResult). Uses intersection rather than Omit since
CallToolResult's index signature swallows Omit's known keys.
Also drops the `as any` casts on z.object(...) in tests — zod 4 satisfies
StandardSchemaV1 directly.
* fix(app): registerTool edge cases + example tool correctness
App.registerTool:
- Skip outputSchema validation when result.isError (matches AppToolResult type)
- Pin callback arity to original config.inputSchema; only the validation schema is mutable via update()
- Default missing tools/call arguments to {}
- remove() is a no-op if the handle is stale (re-registered or already removed)
- Gate list_changed notifications on the listChanged capability
Examples:
- threejs: propagate executeThreeCode failures to onSceneError/onSceneRendering; catch updateModelContext rejection
- wiki-explorer: search-article preserves graph on no-match
- budget-allocator: fix category/stage values in tool descriptions
* feat(app,app-bridge): guard requests sent before handshake completes (#620)
* feat(app,app-bridge): guard requests sent before handshake completes
Calling host-bound methods before the ui/initialize →
ui/notifications/initialized handshake completes can race the handshake
on strict hosts and leave the iframe permanently hidden.
App (View side):
- All 8 host-bound methods (callServerTool, readServerResource,
listServerResources, sendMessage, updateModelContext, openLink,
downloadFile, requestDisplayMode) now check that connect() has sent
the initialized notification.
- New AppOptions.strict (default false): console.error when false,
throw when true. AppOptions is now exported.
- useApp() forwards strict to the App constructor.
- Flag resets on reconnect.
AppBridge (Host side):
- replaceRequestHandler is overridden to wrap every host-bound handler
with a console.warn if the request arrives before
ui/notifications/initialized. Never throws. ui/initialize and ping
use setRequestHandler directly and are exempt; notifications are
unaffected.
- Catches Views that hand-roll postMessage without the SDK.
- Flag resets on reconnect.

#585's `npm pkg set dependencies.@modelcontextprotocol/sdk` created a
root `dependencies` block — root previously had only devDependencies +
peerDependencies (it IS the published SDK, the upstream sdk is a peer).
Harmless at runtime but pulls sdk into the published tarball's deps.
The original 1.25.2 devDep pin (b9a459a6, Jan 26) was because sdk
1.25.3 depended on @hono/node-server@^1.19.9 which didn't exist on
npm yet — long since resolved.
Changes since 1.2.1:
- fix(schemas): import from zod/v4 to match SDK's zod API (#548)
- test(e2e): fix no-op security injection test via frames[] traversal (#540)
The override pinning @hono/node-server to 1.19.7 was added in 71976101
as a workaround when @modelcontextprotocol/sdk 1.25.3 required ^1.19.9,
which did not yet exist on the public npm registry.
That constraint is now obsolete: the SDK is pinned to 1.25.2 (requires
^1.19.7), and 1.19.8-1.19.11 have since been published. Removing the
override lets npm naturally resolve 1.19.11, which includes the fix for
the HIGH-severity auth bypass in the Serve Static middleware
(GHSA-wc8c-qw6v-h7f6, fixed in 1.19.10).
Lockfile regenerated against registry.npmjs.org (no artifactory URLs).
- Switch npm install -> npm ci in ci.yml (build, build-wsl) and docs.yml
to fail on lockfile drift rather than silently tolerating it
- Add cache: npm to all setup-node steps that have a lockfile to hash
(skipped test-git-install which has no checkout, and WSL which has no
setup-node action)
- Add TypeDoc link validation step after build (Linux x64 only, matching
existing single-OS gate pattern for MCPB). Verified passing on main.
- Align all workflows on Node 22 (active LTS) — previously CI used 20
but publish workflows used 22, so releases were tested on a different
Node than PRs
- Add engines.node >=20 to package.json so consumers on Node 18 get a
warning
Bug 1: generate-grid-screenshots.spec.ts was running on every CI E2E
invocation because playwright.config.ts had no testIgnore. This spec
writes examples/*/grid-cell.png as a side effect — it's meant to be
invoked only via npm run generate:screenshots.
Added testIgnore gated on GENERATE_SCREENSHOTS env var (Playwright's
testIgnore is stronger than explicit CLI file args, so a plain ignore
would break generate:screenshots). Passed the env var through the
docker invocation in generate:screenshots.
Before: npx playwright test --list → 82 tests in 3 files
After: npx playwright test --list → 65 tests in 2 files
GENERATE_SCREENSHOTS=1 ... --list → 17 tests in 1 file (still works)
Bug 2: examples/pdf-server/server.test.ts (448 LOC, 34 tests) was
never run — root script was 'bun test src'. Changed to 'bun test src
examples'. Only one .test. file exists in examples/ so no noise.
Before: npm test → 87 pass across 3 files
After: npm test → 121 pass across 4 files
* Replace platform-specific optionalDependencies with bun devDependency
Fixes#222. The bun meta-package handles platform detection internally.
Rollup resolves its own platform binaries transitively. Removes ~400MB
of bloat for SDK consumers. Simplifies setup-bun.mjs accordingly.
* Remove setup-bun.mjs, simplify prepare script
No longer needed since the bun npm package handles binary
installation and PATH registration automatically.
* chore: bump ext-apps to 1.1.2
Changes since 1.1.1:
- feat: add ui/download-file method for host-mediated file downloads (#475)
- pdf-server: robust path validation + folder/file root support (#497)
- ci: auto-fix prettier formatting in pre-commit hook and CI (#498)
* fix: sync local SDK build into node_modules for examples
npm workspaces hoists example dependencies to the root node_modules,
but installs the published registry copy of @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps
instead of linking to the local source. This causes type-check failures
when examples use features not yet published to npm.
Add scripts/link-self.mjs which copies the freshly-built dist/ and
package.json into the hoisted node_modules copy after each SDK build,
ensuring examples always type-check against the latest local types.
See: https://github.com/npm/feedback/discussions/774
* Revert "fix: sync local SDK build into node_modules for examples"

- Align basic-host dark mode styles (#438)
Spec:
- Change Host <> Sandbox communication protocol to SHOULD (#435)
- Clarify UIResourceMeta in both list and read responses (#410)
* fix(debug-server): add missing npm package config (main, bin, types, exports)
Align debug-server package.json with all other server examples:
- main: dist/server.js (was server.ts)
- types: dist/server.d.ts
- bin: mcp-server-debug -> dist/index.js
- exports with types
- files: only dist (remove source server.ts)
v0.4.0 includes the typography fixes from upstream PR
JulianWowra/typedoc-github-theme#7, so the local `customCss` override
(`scripts/typedoc-github-theme-fixes.css`) added in 0bbbfee is no
longer needed.

- Revert ext-apps dependency to ^1.0.0 (works with 1.0.1 once published)
- Fix accidental cheerio bump in wiki-explorer-server
- Remove broken override attempt
* fix: allow compatible semver ranges in version check
The check-versions script now accepts any compatible semver range,
not just exact version matches. For example, ^1.0.0 is allowed when
root version is 1.0.1, since semver compatibility is maintained.
* style: fix indentation in package.json
* fix(examples): use npm reference for ext-apps dependency
Replace local path '../..' with '^1.0.0' npm reference in all example

npm install to hang when installing server-* packages.
Bump versions to 1.0.1 for all public packages to fix the published
versions.
Fixes npm install hanging issue in dependent projects like
example-remote-server.
Note: npm workspaces automatically resolves the dependency to the
local package during development, so no overrides are needed.
* fix: update zod to 4.x in transcript-server and fix update-lock:docker script
- Update transcript-server to use zod ^4.1.13 for compatibility

* feat(server): add getUiCapability helper for capability negotiation (#313)
* feat(server): add hasUiSupport/getUiCapability for experimental+extensions
Support double-tagging for MCP Apps capability negotiation:
- Check both experimental and extensions fields in client capabilities
- Add hasUiSupport() to easily check if client supports MCP Apps
- Add getUiCapability() to retrieve the capability settings
- Update spec to document both capability locations
This enables forward compatibility as MCP transitions from experimental
to the extensions field (SEP-1724).

* fix: update @types/node version in package-lock.json
Replace invalid 22.19.5/22.19.6/22.19.7 versions with valid 22.19.3
* docs(spec): clarify hosts SHOULD double-tag, servers SHOULD check both
- Hosts SHOULD advertise capabilities in both experimental and extensions
- Servers SHOULD check both locations, preferring extensions when present
- Updated example to show double-tagging pattern
* chore: remove double-tagging recommendation, keep hasUiSupport helper
Reverts the spec changes that recommended clients double-tag capabilities
in both experimental and extensions fields. The helper functions remain
as they're useful for checking capability in either location.
* refactor(server): simplify to only getUiCapability, remove hasUiSupport
- Remove hasUiSupport function (use getUiCapability directly)
- Remove double-tagging logic (only check extensions field)
- Add ClientCapabilitiesWithExtensions type using SDK's ClientCapabilities
- Update spec to use getUiCapability
- Simplify tests
* fix: update @see link to getUiCapability
* refactor(server): inline ClientCapabilitiesWithExtensions type in getUiCapability
* refactor: move McpUiClientCapabilities to spec.types.ts
* fix: update playwright docker image to v1.58.0
* fix: use -i instead of -it for docker commands (no TTY needed)
* fix: Python server dependency resolution and Docker host validation (#333)
* fix(say-server): add --index flag to uv run for PyPI resolution
The pocket-tts dependency wasn't resolving without explicit --index flag
when invoked via npm scripts.
* fix(qr-server): allow Docker bridge IP in transport security
Add 172.17.0.1:* to allowed_hosts to fix 421 Misdirected Request errors
when the server is accessed from Docker containers.
* feat(basic-host): Add theme toggle and MCP style variables (#336)
* feat(basic-host): add theme toggle and MCP style variables
Add theme support to basic-host example:
- theme.ts: Global theme manager with light/dark toggle
- host-styles.ts: Full set of MCP CSS variables using light-dark()
- ThemeToggle component with sun/moon icons
- Theme-aware CSS using CSS custom properties
- Pass theme + styles to apps via hostContext
- Notify apps when theme changes via sendHostContextChange
Apps now receive:
- hostContext.theme: 'light' | 'dark'
- hostContext.styles.variables: All 60+ MCP CSS variables
- onhostcontextchanged notifications when theme changes
* test: update e2e goldens for theme changes
* [MCP Apps] Add appCapabilities.availableDisplayModes documentation to spec (#331)
* Add appCapabilities.availableDisplayModes documentation to spec
Document the availableDisplayModes field in McpUiAppCapabilities that allows
apps to declare which display modes they support. This enables hosts to
compute the intersection of host and app capabilities and only offer
appropriate display mode controls.

* Refactor server startup functions
Rename `startServer` to `startStreamableHTTPServer` and add a new
`startStdioServer` helper to make the transport type explicit. Remove
the `ServerOptions` interface in favor of reading `PORT` directly from
the environment inside the function (defaulting to `3001`).
Also update Python examples to default to port `3001` for consistency.

* Support full-file inclusion in synced code snippets
Previously, the script only supported extracting regions from `.ts/.tsx`
files using the `#regionName` syntax. Now it also supports including
entire files without a region specifier, enabling sync of any file type
(JSON, YAML, shell scripts, etc.) into documentation.
Changes:
- Make `#regionName` optional in the `source=""` attribute
- Accept any fence language (not just `ts`/`tsx`)
- Simplify cache to flat map with composite keys
- Add validation error for region extraction on non-TypeScript files

* Rewrite Quickstart guide with type-checked code examples
Rewrites the Quickstart tutorial to provide a more focused, step-by-step
introduction to building MCP Apps. The guide now uses synced code fences
that pull from `examples/quickstart/`, ensuring all code shown in the
documentation is type-checked and tested.
Key improvements:
- Clearer project setup instructions with explicit commands
- Streamlined explanations of the tool + resource registration pattern
- Added screenshot showing the completed app
- E2E test coverage validates the example works end-to-end

* Add MCP Apps Overview document
Adds `docs/overview.md` covering the core concepts: architecture,
lifecycle, UI resources, bidirectional communication, theming, display
modes, and security. Includes mermaid flowchart and sequence diagrams.
Also adds the `@boneskull/typedoc-plugin-mermaid` TypeDoc plugin for
mermaid diagram support. However, the plugin handles HTML entities from
TypeDoc incorrectly, so `scripts/typedoc-plugin-fix-mermaid-entities.mjs`
decodes HTML entities before the plugin processes them.

* Add Agent Skills installation guide
Add `docs/agent-skills.md` with installation instructions for multiple AI
coding agents including Claude Code, VS Code/Copilot, Gemini CLI, Cline,
and Goose. The guide provides three installation methods: Claude Code
plugin, Vercel Skills CLI (`npx skills add`), and manual installation.
Update `README.md` to link to the new guide and reframe the plugin
section around the broader "Agent Skills" concept.

* Polish OpenAI migration reference for readability
Add framing prose to the migration guide to improve navigation:
- Expanded intro describing document purpose and how to use it

* Fix mermaid diagram arrowheads not rendering
The `@boneskull/typedoc-plugin-mermaid` creates both dark and light theme
variants of each diagram, each with identical marker IDs (e.g., `#arrowhead`).
When mermaid renders SVGs at runtime, lines reference `url(#arrowhead)`, but
the browser resolves this to the first match in document order — the hidden
dark-theme SVG — causing arrows to be invisible.
The fix removes dark-theme `<div class="mermaid dark">` elements at build time,
leaving only one SVG per diagram with unique marker IDs. A CSS filter
(`filter: invert(1) hue-rotate(180deg)`) handles dark mode styling instead.

* fix(docs): improve OpenAI migration guide accuracy (#349)
- Add missing setOpenInAppUrl API to 'Not Yet in MCP Apps' section
- Clarify Event Handling table: specify exact OpenAI properties
(toolInput/toolOutput) instead of vague 'window.openai.*'
- Improve notes to distinguish sync property reads vs callbacks
* Add Testing MCP Apps guide
Document how to test MCP Apps using `basic-host` and MCP Apps-compatible
hosts like Claude.ai and VS Code Copilot. Cover debugging features for
`basic-host`, and using `cloudflared` to expose local servers for remote
hosts.

* Fix `onhostcontextchanged` handler invocation in examples
`App.onhostcontextchanged` is a setter-only property with no getter.
TypeScript doesn't prevent reading from setter-only properties, so
`app.onhostcontextchanged?.(ctx)` compiles but silently returns
`undefined` at runtime.
Extract the handler into a named `handleHostContextChanged()` function
and call it directly after `connect()`, matching the pattern used in
`basic-server-vanillajs` and other examples.

* Expand Agent Skills guide
Add intro explaining what Agent Skills are and link to the two skill
files (`create-mcp-app`, `migrate-oai-app`). Reorganize headings and add
"Invoke a Skill" and "Test Your App" sections. Update `README.md` link
text and add tip to quickstart suggesting agent skills as an alternative.

* Improve README structure and clarity
Add "Why MCP Apps?" section to explain the motivation upfront. Reorganize
the "How It Works" section to lead with tool definition. Rename "Overview"
to "Using the SDK" and add "For" prefix to audience headings.
Restructure the Examples section with clearer subsections for running
examples with `basic-host` vs MCP clients using stdio transport. Move the
`qr` server note outside the collapsed details block.

Migrate JSDoc and markdown documentation from `{@includeCode ./file#region}`
tags to inline code fences with `source="./file#region"` attributes.
Code examples are now visible directly in source files while remaining
type-checked via their `.examples.ts` source files.
Add `scripts/sync-snippets.ts` to extract code from `//#region` blocks
and sync it into labeled fences. Run with `npm run sync:snippets`.
