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

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.

* feat(qr-server): embed widget HTML for self-contained usage
Embed the widget HTML directly in server.py following the same pattern
as the say-server. This allows the QR server to be run without any
local file dependencies using `uv run <url>`.
The get_widget_html() function prefers the built version from dist/
for local development but falls back to the embedded HTML for unbundled
usage.
* refactor(qr-server): remove widget.html and simplify embedded HTML
Address PR review feedback:
- Remove separate widget.html file (no longer needed)
- Remove get_widget_html() function and dist/mcp-app.html reference
- Inline EMBEDDED_WIDGET_HTML directly in widget() resource
- Remove unused Path import
The server is now fully self-contained in a single file.

Add `App_onhostcontextchanged_respondToDisplayMode` example showing how to
listen for display mode changes and update UI with `classList.toggle()`.
Update `App_requestDisplayMode_fullscreen` to `App_requestDisplayMode_toggle`
to show the common toggle pattern checking `availableDisplayModes` first.
Refactor full examples (pdf-server, shadertoy-server) to use
`classList.toggle(class, condition)` instead of add/remove branches.

After commit 65a62a9f, the server startup code was moved from server.ts
to main.ts, but the serve:http script was not updated accordingly.
This caused 9 example servers to fail to start when running npm start:
- budget-allocator-server
- cohort-heatmap-server
- customer-segmentation-server
- integration-server
- map-server
- scenario-modeler-server
- system-monitor-server
- threejs-server
- wiki-explorer-server
The server.ts file now only exports createServer(), while main.ts
contains the actual server startup logic.
- Add screenshot reference
- Remove GPU prerequisite (not needed, wasn't requested)
- Use GitHub raw URLs instead of local file paths
- Simplify Docker section
- Fix Claude Desktop config to use remote URL

- Add fullscreen toggle button (appears on hover when available)
- Remove max-height/scroll in inline mode for cleaner display
- Enable scrolling only in fullscreen mode
- Track displayMode and fullscreenAvailable state
- Handle onHostContextChanged to detect fullscreen support
* fix(say-server): fix fullscreen button visibility and prevent multiple audio streams
- Check initial host context for fullscreen availability (not just updates)
- Add audioOperationInProgressRef guard to prevent concurrent audio operations
- Prevents race conditions from rapid clicks/double-clicks
* fix(qr-server): use meta parameter instead of manual handler patching
Simplified CSP metadata handling to match say-server's approach:
- Use meta parameter on @mcp.resource decorator directly
- Removed custom _read_resource_with_meta handler and handler replacement
* fix(say-server): simplify controls to prevent multiple audio streams
- Remove onClick from text display (was conflicting with double-click)
- Always show overlay button (with pause icon when playing)
- Lower opacity (0.3) when playing, full on hover
- Button shows: ▶️ (play), ⏸️ (pause), 🔄 (restart)
- Double-click text to restart still works
- Eliminates click/dblclick race condition
* fix(say-server): only show pause button on hover
- Play/restart buttons visible normally
- Pause button hidden until hover (doesn't block karaoke text)
* fix(say-server): fix partial input handling and session management
- Add promise lock to initTTSQueue to prevent concurrent initialization
- Reset queueIdRef and lastTextRef in ontoolresult for next tool call
- Close existing AudioContext when starting new session
- Reset all playback state (chunks, timings, position) on new session
- Fixes: text deltas not sent when new tool call has shorter text
* fix(say-server): detect new sessions by text comparison, not queueIdRef reset
- Don't reset queueIdRef in ontoolresult - audio should keep playing
- Detect new sessions in ontoolinputpartial/ontoolinput by checking if
new text starts with lastTextRef (continuation) or not (new session)
- Only reset and create new queue when genuinely new session detected
- Fixes: pause/play was creating new streams because queueIdRef was reset
* feat(say-server): add theming, floating button, and keyboard shortcuts
Theming:
- Use CSS variables (--font-sans, --color-text-primary/secondary) with fallbacks
- Apply host fonts via applyHostFonts() on connect and context changes
- Apply host style variables via applyHostStyleVariables()
- Apply document theme via applyDocumentTheme()
Floating button:
- Button follows cursor position (below current line being spoken)
- Uses invisible cursor marker element for accurate positioning
- Shows ⏸️ when playing, ▶️ when paused, 🔄 when finished
- Low opacity when playing, full on hover
Keyboard shortcuts:
- Space: toggle play/pause
- Enter: toggle fullscreen (when available)
UI changes:
- Large overlay only shown for initial play (idle state)
- Floating button used during playback for less intrusive controls
* docs(say-server): add TODO items for future improvements
* fix(say-server): simplify to fixed play button at top right
- Remove floating cursor-following button (was too complex)
- Fixed play button at top-right corner
- Low opacity when playing, full on hover
- Keep theming and keyboard shortcuts (Space/Enter)
- Add say-server to E2E tests
* test(e2e): add say-server to tests but skip in CI
Say-server requires Pocket TTS model (~500MB) and GPU support,
which isn't available in the Docker CI environment. Skip it for now.
* test(e2e): add say-server and qr-server to screenshot generation
- Remove say-server from SKIP_SERVERS (widget works without TTS model)
- Add say-server masks for play buttons
- Add both say-server and qr-server to grid screenshot generator
* fix(say-server): restore working play/pause overlay, keep theming and keyboard shortcuts
Reverted to working commit 413beca and carefully reapplied:
- CSS variables for theming (--font-sans, --color-text-primary/secondary)
- Dark mode support via @media (prefers-color-scheme)
- Host theming via applyHostStyleVariables/applyHostFonts/applyDocumentTheme
- Keyboard shortcuts: Space = play/pause, Enter = fullscreen
Preserved working behavior:
- Play overlay visible when not playing, hover to show when playing
- Pause on click works correctly
- Karaoke highlighting works
* fix(say-server): minimal CSS-only theming, no JS changes from working version
Only CSS changes from working commit 413beca:
- Added CSS variables for theming foundation
- No JavaScript changes (reverted theming calls and keyboard shortcuts)
This isolates whether the issue is CSS or JS related.
* feat(say-server): add autoPlay param and Reset button
- Add autoPlay parameter (default: true) with Pydantic Field description
- Description visible in MCP tool schema: 'browsers may block autoplay'
- Add Reset button next to Fullscreen button (bottom right)
- Both buttons share controlBtn base styles, shown on hover
- Widget reads autoPlay from tool input params
* fix(say-server): update FastMCP API for new SDK version
Python SDK refactored transport params from constructor to run():
- Remove port, stateless_http from FastMCP() constructor
- Pass stateless_http=True to streamable_http_app() instead
* debug(say-server): add console logs to trace audio stream issue
Logging added to:
- togglePlayPause (all branches)
- initTTSQueue (entry and AudioContext creation)
- restartPlayback (entry)
- ontoolinputpartial/ontoolinput (entry and new session detection)
Open browser DevTools console and reproduce the issue - logs will show what's being called.
* feat(say-server): add play/pause buttons in top-left and bottom-right corners
- Top left: playPauseTopBtn for quick access
- Bottom right: playPauseBtn alongside reset and fullscreen
- Both show on hover with same styling as other control buttons
- Icons: ▶️ (play), ⏸️ (pause), 🔄 (restart when finished)
* fix(say-server): simplify UI and fix pause/resume audio duplication
- Remove central play overlay, use single toolbar in top-right
- Fix audio duplication on pause/resume (only defer to pendingChunks for initial autoplay)
- Remove double-click to restart (use toolbar restart button)
- Sync displayMode when host changes it externally
- Click on text to play/pause
* feat(say-server): add voice selection support
- Add list_voices tool to show available voices
- Add voice parameter to say tool (predefined names, HuggingFace URLs, or local paths)
- Predefined voices: alba, marius, javert, jean, cosette, eponine, azelma, fantine
- Update README with voice documentation
* docs(say-server): improve tool description for better LLM triggering
- Add English-only constraint prominently in first line and note
- List common trigger patterns (say, speak, read aloud, etc.)
- Update text parameter description to mention English
- Keep description concise for quick LLM scanning
* feat(say-server): add speak lock for multi-widget coordination
When multiple TTS widgets exist, only one plays at a time:
- Widget announces to localStorage when starting playback
- Playing widgets poll localStorage every 200ms
- If another widget starts, previous one pauses automatically
- Lock is cleared on pause/finish/teardown
Uses _meta.widgetUUID in tool result for widget identification.
* update package.json of say
* feat(say-server): add screenshots and update README gallery
- Add say-server to demo gallery with 300x300 grid-cell.png
- Fix qr-server grid-cell.png dimensions (was 672x668, now 300x300)

* fix(say-server): add queue timeout to prevent infinite polling
The TTS queue could hang forever if:
- The LLM stops generating mid-stream (no end signal)
- User cancels before tool completes
- Network interruption prevents end_tts_queue call
Changes:
- Add last_activity timestamp to track queue activity
- Add 30-second timeout (QUEUE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS)
- Poll with 5-second timeout, checking for stale queues
- Mark stale queues as "error" so widget stops polling
- Return error message in poll_tts_audio response
- Add error logging in widget polling loop
This prevents tool calls from running forever when queues are abandoned.

* debug(say-server): add logging to track queue lifecycle
Add console logging to debug why end_tts_queue might not be called:
Widget-side:
- Log queueId in ontoolinputpartial, ontoolinput, ontoolresult
- Log when new session is detected (queue reset)
- Log when initTTSQueue fails
- Log when end_tts_queue is called/not called
Server-side:
- Log when end_tts_queue is called
- Log warnings for unknown queues
- Log info for already-ended queues
This will help identify if the issue is:
- User interruption (ontoolresult never called)
- Session reset (queueId becomes null)
- Host bug (callback dropped)

* perf(say-server): add initial delay before polling
Add 150ms delay before first poll to give TTS model time to generate
the first audio chunk. This reduces unnecessary polling and server load.
Current backoff after that:
- 30ms if chunks received (keep streaming fast)
- 80ms if no chunks (wait longer for generation)
🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
* fix(say-server): use adaptive polling instead of fixed initial delay
Previous approach: Always wait 150ms before first poll
Problem: Even when chunks are ready, we wait unnecessarily
New approach: Adaptive polling
- Start polling immediately (no initial delay)
- 20ms backoff when receiving chunks (fast streaming)
- Exponential backoff when no chunks: 50ms → 100ms → 150ms max
- Reset backoff when chunks start flowing
This reduces latency when TTS is fast while being polite when it's slow.

* feat(shadertoy): add proper mouse/touch interaction support
- Fix iMouse uniform to match official Shadertoy specification:
- iMouse.xy only updates while button/touch is held down
- iMouse.zw uses positive values when down, negative when released
- Enables proper click detection via iMouse.z > 0
- Add touch event support for mobile devices:
- touchstart/touchmove/touchend/touchcancel handlers
- Same behavior as mouse events
- Update tool description with mouse interaction documentation
- Update README with:
- Mouse & Touch Interaction feature
- Improved Julia Set example with click detection

- Add flex layout to .action p to make server-time stretch
- Add #server-time flex: 1 rule across all basic-server variants
- Update golden screenshots with full-width masked time field
This ensures the Playwright mask covers a consistent width regardless
of the timestamp content, fixing screenshot comparison flakiness.
* fix(e2e): wait for select to be enabled in screenshot generator
Match the logic in servers.spec.ts - wait for select to be enabled
(servers connected) instead of just visible.
* chore: trigger CI re-run
- Add visibility-based animation pause (IntersectionObserver + wrapped rAF)
- Zero CPU usage when widget scrolls out of view
- Apply host style variables via useHostStyles
- Support transparent WebGL background (alpha: true)
- Use light-dark() for theme-aware fallback colors
- Tool no longer echoes code back in result
- Document performance features in README
Shadertoy server improvements:
- Add ontoolinputpartial handler to show code preview during generation
- Add IntersectionObserver to pause/play shader based on visibility
- Apply host style variables (theme, colors, fonts)
- Add border-radius with fullscreen mode support
- Use gradient background and ghost text color for code preview
Skill documentation updates:
- Add streaming partial input section with use cases
- Add visibility-based resource management pattern
- Add fullscreen mode API and CSS patterns
- Expand host styling with CSS variable usage examples
Implement the conventional MCP pattern for transport backward compatibility:
try `StreamableHTTPClientTransport` first (modern), then fall back to
`SSEClientTransport` (deprecated but needed for older servers).
This follows the approach documented in the MCP TypeScript SDK's
`streamableHttpWithSseFallbackClient.ts` example.

- Node.js examples use npx with the published npm packages
- Python qr-server uses uv with local path
- Removed Claude Desktop-specific references from qr-server
* feat(shadertoy): add fullscreen support
Add fullscreen toggle button that appears when the host supports fullscreen
display mode. Uses the same pattern as pdf-server:
- Check availableDisplayModes in host context
- Show/hide button based on capability
- Toggle between inline and fullscreen via requestDisplayMode()
- Update UI state on host context changes

* fix(examples): resolve DIST_DIR path for npm package execution
When servers are compiled to dist/server.js and published to npm,
`import.meta.dirname` already points to dist/, so joining with "dist"
results in dist/dist/ which doesn't exist.
This fix detects whether we're running from TypeScript source or
compiled JavaScript and adjusts the path accordingly:
- From source (server.ts): use dist/ subdirectory
- From compiled (dist/server.js): use current directory
Fixes ENOENT errors like:
"ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '.../dist/dist/mcp-app.html'"

* map-server: fix async/await in ontoolresult, remove unused getViewStorageKey
* pdf-server: fix scrolling gap in inline mode
- Set html/body background to match .main background color
This hides any gap between .main and iframe border
- Change .main from height:100% to min-height:100%
Ensures .main fills container properly
* feat: compile example servers to JavaScript for npm consumption
Add TypeScript compilation for server code so the example packages can be
imported and used by consumers without requiring TypeScript compilation.
Changes:
- Add tsconfig.server.json to each example for compiling server code
- Update package.json exports to point to compiled dist/server/server.js
- Add types field pointing to dist/server/server.d.ts
- Update build scripts to include server compilation step
- Fix .ts import extensions to .js in customer-segmentation-server
This enables importing the createServer function from published packages:
import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react';
* fix: add type assertion for Nominatim API response
* chore: regenerate schemas
* refactor: split server examples into library and binary entry points
- server.ts: exports createServer() only (library entry point)
- main.ts: entry point with main() that runs the server (binary)
- package.json: adds bin field for npx support, uses inline bun build
- tsconfig.server.json: emitDeclarationOnly, outputs to dist/
This allows:
1. Importing the server as a library: import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react'
2. Running with npx: npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react [--stdio]
Added migration script at scripts/migrate-server-examples.ts
* refactor: migrate remaining server examples to library/binary structure
Apply the same refactoring to all 13 remaining server examples:
- scenario-modeler-server, shadertoy-server, map-server
- cohort-heatmap-server, customer-segmentation-server, video-resource-server
- system-monitor-server, budget-allocator-server, sheet-music-server
- threejs-server, integration-server, transcript-server, wiki-explorer-server
Each now has:
- server.ts: exports createServer() (library)
- main.ts: runs the server (binary with shebang)
- bin field in package.json for npx support
* chore: remove unused server-utils.ts from video-resource-server/src
* update
* fix(build): make Windows-compatible by removing chmod and fixing bun externals
- Remove 'chmod +x dist/index.js' which doesn't exist on Windows
- Add '--external ./server.js' to prevent bun from treating the import as a second entry point
* fix(build): use .ts import for bun compatibility
- Change import from './server.js' to './server.ts' in main.ts files
- Remove --external flag since bun should inline everything
- Fixes Windows build where bun couldn't resolve .js to .ts properly
* fix(build): use --external for Windows bun compatibility
Bun on Windows incorrectly treats imported .ts files as entry points.
Use --external './server.js' to work around this, creating a runtime
dependency between index.js and server.js.
* style: fix prettier formatting in pdf-server/main.ts
* fix(build): remove quotes from --external for Windows cmd.exe compatibility
* fix(build): use glob pattern for --external to work on all platforms
The literal path --external ./server.js was not matching the import.
Using glob pattern --external "./server*" correctly externalizes the server module.
* fix(build): use */server.js pattern for --external
The "./server*" pattern was not matching on Windows.
Using "*/server.js" matches any path ending in /server.js which works cross-platform.
* fix(build): use *server.js pattern without slash for Windows compatibility
* update package-lock
* chore: regenerate package-lock.json for cross-platform compatibility
* fix(build): use ./server.js instead of glob pattern for Windows compatibility
* fix(build): use double quotes for banner to fix Windows cmd.exe compatibility

* map-server: fix async/await in ontoolresult, remove unused getViewStorageKey
* fix(map-server): improve updateModelContext and fix initialization
- Use structured YAML frontmatter format for model context (like pdf-server)
- Add tool name, altitude, and cleaner data format
- Fix initialization deadlock: app.connect() was inside ontoolresult handler
which could never fire until connected
- Fix view state persistence: widgetUUID now properly extracted from
ontoolresult and used to restore persisted camera position
- Server now includes widgetUUID in tool result _meta for widget identification
* fix(pdf-server): use widgetUUID for page persistence
- Add widgetUUID to tool result _meta for widget identification
- Use widgetUUID instead of generated key (pdfUrl+toolId) for localStorage
- Enables reliable page restoration when revisiting PDF widgets
* fix(transcript-server): use structured YAML frontmatter for model context
- Add tool name, listening status, and unsent entry count in frontmatter
- Consistent format with pdf-server and map-server
* update names
* drop bogus altitude
* Update mcp-app.ts
- Replace requirements.txt with inline script dependencies in server.py
- Add package.json with npm scripts for run-all.ts integration
- Update CI workflow to install uv via astral-sh/setup-uv@v5
- Update Docker commands to install uv for e2e tests
- Add Playwright golden screenshot for qr-server
- Update README with uv installation and usage instructions
* 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

* 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.

- Add `.gitignore` files to all 19 examples (`node_modules/`, `dist/`)
- Replace custom `log` objects with standard `console` methods
- Add `ontoolcancelled` handler to all `basic-server-*` examples
- Add host styling integration (`applyDocumentTheme`, `applyHostFonts`,
`applyHostStyleVariables`) to non-React `basic-server-*` examples
- Add section headers for better code organization in feature examples
- Update READMEs with Build System section explaining single-file
bundling
These changes make examples more consistent and easier to adapt.
