Jonathan Hefner 4140565b77 Improve consistency and organization of examples for AI learning
- 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.

Overview

Key Files

Getting Started

npm install
npm run dev

How It Works

  1. The server registers a get-time tool with metadata linking it to a UI HTML resource (ui://get-time/mcp-app.html).
  2. When the tool is invoked, the Host renders the UI from the resource.
  3. 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.
