ae9b96e1fd* fix(examples): use npm reference for ext-apps dependency Replace local path '../..' with '^1.0.0' npm reference in all example packages. The local path was accidentally published to npm, causing 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 - Fix update-lock:docker script to properly clean workspace node_modules - Regenerate package-lock.json with clean npmjs.org URLs |

Example: Basic Server (React)
An MCP App example with a React UI.
Tip

basic-server-vanillajs!
MCP Client Configuration
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
{
"mcpServers": {
"basic-react": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"--silent",
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react",
"--stdio"
]
}
}
}
Local Development
To test local modifications, use this configuration (replace ~/code/ext-apps with your clone path):
{
"mcpServers": {
"basic-react": {
"command": "bash",
"args": [
"-c",
"cd ~/code/ext-apps/examples/basic-server-react && npm run build >&2 && node dist/index.js --stdio"
]
}
}
}
Overview
- Tool registration with a linked UI resource
- React UI using the
useApp()hook - App communication APIs:
callServerTool,sendMessage,sendLog,openLink
Key Files
server.ts- MCP server with tool and resource registrationmcp-app.html/src/mcp-app.tsx- React UI usinguseApp()hook
Getting Started
npm install
npm run dev
How It Works
- The server registers a
get-timetool with metadata linking it to a UI HTML resource (ui://get-time/mcp-app.html). - When the tool is invoked, the Host renders the UI from the resource.
- The UI uses the MCP App SDK API to communicate with the host and call server tools.
Build System
This example bundles into a single HTML file using Vite with vite-plugin-singlefile — see vite.config.ts. This allows all UI content to be served as a single MCP resource. Alternatively, MCP apps can load external resources by defining _meta.ui.csp.resourceDomains in the UI resource metadata.
