* feat: add script to generate 300x300 grid-cell.png screenshots for examples
- Add generate-grid-screenshots.spec.ts Playwright test to capture screenshots
- Add npm run generate:screenshots command (Docker-based for Santa compatibility)
- Add sharp dependency for image resizing with centered-fill mode
- Generate grid-cell.png for 14 example servers (only React for basic-server-* series)
The screenshots are 300x300 PNG images cropped with centered fill mode,
suitable for use in a grid layout showcasing the examples.
* docs: add example gallery grid to README
Add a 3-column visual grid showcasing 14 example MCP Apps with:
- Thumbnail screenshots (300x300 grid-cell.png)
- Clickable links to example directories
- Hover tooltips with brief descriptions
Organized by visual impact: 3D/WebGL examples first, then
visualizations, charts, monitoring, and starter templates.
* fix: use aspect-fit instead of crop for screenshots
Change from fit: 'cover' (crops) to fit: 'contain' (letterbox)
so the full app content is visible without cropping.
* feat: improve screenshot generation
- Constrain viewport to 500px width for consistent rendering
- Wait 5 seconds for full app load (tiles, animations, data)
- Screenshot just the inner iframe (no extra whitespace)
- Save both screenshot.png (full-size) and grid-cell.png (300x300 thumbnail)
- Use contain mode to preserve aspect ratio
* fix: use cover mode with top alignment for grid thumbnails
No letterboxing - crops to fill 300x300, aligned to top so headers
and important content are always visible.
* feat: improve screenshot gallery
- Remove integration-server from gallery (it's for E2E testing only)
- Add 30s extra wait for Map and Video servers to load fully
- Improve Three.js default scene: isometric rotation + better lighting
- Update README: Starter Templates row with links to all framework variants
(React, Vue, Svelte, Preact, Solid, Vanilla JS)
- Regenerate all screenshots with updated settings
* fix: improve README gallery layout
- Fix uneven column widths by using minimal separator
- Move Starter Templates to separate 2-cell table with description
- Add screenshot.png to top of each example README (13 examples)
- Shorten tooltips for cleaner table
* revert to document.write again; cesiumjs doesn't like srcdoc, period.
* fix: map-server screenshot now renders properly
- Merged ochafik/post-fixes which reverts sandbox from srcdoc to document.write
(CesiumJS doesn't work with srcdoc iframes)
- Fixed map-server name in screenshot test ('Map Server' not 'CesiumJS Map Server')
- Simplified screenshot generation script (removed complex debugging code)
- Increased map-server wait time to 45s for reliable tile loading
- Regenerated all 13 screenshots
* fix: remove redundant screenshots from READMEs
Remove the simple \ line from READMEs that
already had nicer HTML table screenshots. Keep it only for examples
that didn't have existing screenshots.
* docs: move gallery to Examples section
- Move screenshot gallery from top of README to Examples section
- Remove redundant list of basic examples (now shown visually in gallery)
- Clean up duplicate run instructions
* fix: remove empty header row from starter templates table
* fix: remove empty header rows from both tables
* fix: add prettier-ignore to prevent table header expansion
* feat: use custom screenshot for video-resource-server
- Use better screenshot from PR #253 comment showing actual video playback
- Skip video-resource-server in screenshot generation script
- Add SKIP_SERVERS set for manually maintained screenshots
* fix: revert unrelated map-server name change
* fix: use correct server name 'CesiumJS Map Server' in screenshot test

# Transcript Server
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
An MCP App Server for live speech transcription using the Web Speech API.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Live Transcription**: Real-time speech-to-text using browser's Web Speech API
|
|
- **Transitional Model Context**: Streams interim transcriptions to the model via `ui/update-model-context`, allowing the model to see what the user is saying as they speak
|
|
- **Audio Level Indicator**: Visual feedback showing microphone input levels
|
|
- **Send to Host**: Button to send completed transcriptions as a `ui/message` to the MCP host
|
|
- **Start/Stop Control**: Toggle listening on and off
|
|
- **Clear Transcript**: Reset the transcript area
|
|
|
|
## Setup
|
|
|
|
### Prerequisites
|
|
|
|
- Node.js 18+
|
|
- Chrome, Edge, or Safari (Web Speech API support)
|
|
|
|
### Installation
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Running
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
# Development mode (with hot reload)
|
|
npm run dev
|
|
|
|
# Production build and serve
|
|
npm run start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
The server exposes a single tool:
|
|
|
|
### `transcribe`
|
|
|
|
Opens a live speech transcription interface.
|
|
|
|
**Parameters:** None
|
|
|
|
**Example:**
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "transcribe",
|
|
"arguments": {}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## How It Works
|
|
|
|
1. Click **Start** to begin listening
|
|
2. Speak into your microphone
|
|
3. Watch your speech appear as text in real-time (interim text is streamed to model context via `ui/update-model-context`)
|
|
4. Click **Send** to send the transcript as a `ui/message` to the host (clears the model context)
|
|
5. Click **Clear** to reset the transcript
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
transcript-server/
|
|
├── server.ts # MCP server with transcribe tool
|
|
├── server-utils.ts # HTTP transport utilities
|
|
├── mcp-app.html # Transcript UI entry point
|
|
├── src/
|
|
│ ├── mcp-app.ts # App logic, Web Speech API integration
|
|
│ ├── mcp-app.css # Transcript UI styles
|
|
│ └── global.css # Base styles
|
|
└── dist/ # Built output (single HTML file)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- **Microphone Permission**: Requires `allow="microphone"` on the sandbox iframe (configured via `permissions: { microphone: {} }` in the resource `_meta.ui`)
|
|
- **Browser Support**: Web Speech API is well-supported in Chrome/Edge, with Safari support. Firefox has limited support.
|
|
- **Continuous Mode**: Recognition automatically restarts when it ends, for seamless transcription
|
|
|
|
## Future Enhancements
|
|
|
|
- Language selection dropdown
|
|
- Whisper-based offline transcription (see TRANSCRIPTION.md)
|
|
- Export transcript to file
|
|
- Timestamps toggle
