Not all MCP clients support structuredContent in MCP tool results, so
examples now return data as JSON in content and parse it client-side.
Pattern used:
- Server: content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(data) }]
- Client: JSON.parse(result.content!.filter(...).map(...).join(""))

Architecture
Server (server.ts)
Exposes a single get-budget-data tool that returns:
- Category definitions with colors and default allocations
- Historical data (~120 data points) - 24 months of allocation history per category
- Industry benchmarks (~60 data points) - Aggregated percentile data by company stage
The tool is linked to a UI resource via _meta[RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY].
App (src/mcp-app.ts)
- Uses Chart.js for the donut chart visualization
- Renders sparkline trends using inline SVG
- Computes percentile rankings client-side from benchmark data
- Updates all UI elements reactively on slider changes
