refactor: rename request methods to remove send prefix (#161)
* refactor: rename request methods to remove send prefix

Following the MCP TS SDK convention where request methods don't have
the "send" prefix (reserved for notifications):

- App.sendMessage() → App.message()
- App.sendOpenLink() → App.openLink()
- AppBridge.sendResourceTeardown() → AppBridge.resourceTeardown()

The old method names are kept as deprecated aliases for backwards
compatibility.

Updated all examples to use the new method names.

* test: add tests for deprecated method aliases

- Update existing tests to use new method names (message, openLink)
- Add tests verifying deprecated aliases are same reference as new methods
- Add tests verifying deprecated aliases still work functionally

* refactor: rename message→sendMessage, resourceTeardown→teardownResource

- App.message() → App.sendMessage() (with deprecated message alias)
- AppBridge.resourceTeardown() → AppBridge.teardownResource() (with deprecated aliases)

This better follows the pattern where methods that send data have 'send' or action verb prefix.

* fix: update examples to use sendMessage instead of message

* fix: update basic-host to use teardownResource

* fix: update threejs-server to use sendMessage

* refactor: remove deprecated app.message alias

The app.message alias was removed since sendMessage is the correct name.
sendResourceTeardown already exists in AppBridge.

* refactor: remove resourceTeardown alias, keep only sendResourceTeardown

Example: Wiki Explorer

Visualizes Wikipedia link graphs using a force-directed layout. Explore how Wikipedia pages are connected by expanding nodes to reveal first-degree links.

Zoomed Pop-up Expanded graph

Features

  • Force-directed graph visualization: Interactive graph powered by force-graph
  • Node expansion: Click any node to expand and see all pages it links to
  • Visual state tracking: Nodes change color based on state (blue = default, green = expanded, red = error)
  • Direct page access: Open any Wikipedia page in your browser

Running

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install
    
  2. Build and start the server:

    npm run start:http  # for Streamable HTTP transport
    # OR
    npm run start:stdio  # for stdio transport
    
  3. View using the basic-host example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.

Tool Input

To test the example, call the get-first-degree-links tool with a Wikipedia URL:

{
  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory"
}

Click nodes in the graph to Open (view in browser) or Expand (visualize linked pages).

Architecture

Server (server.ts)

MCP server that fetches Wikipedia pages and extracts internal links.

Exposes one tool:

  • get-first-degree-links - Returns links to other Wikipedia pages from a given page

App (src/mcp-app.ts)

Vanilla TypeScript app using force-graph for visualization that:

  • Receives tool inputs via the MCP App SDK
  • Renders an interactive force-directed graph
  • Supports node expansion to explore link relationships
