cce8d5c7a3Add stdio transport configuration snippets near the top of each example README to help users quickly set up the servers in their MCP clients. - Node.js examples use npx with the published npm packages - Python qr-server uses uv with local path - Removed Claude Desktop-specific references from qr-server

# Example: Interactive Map
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Interactive 3D globe viewer using CesiumJS with OpenStreetMap tiles. Demonstrates geocoding integration and full MCP App capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## MCP Client Configuration
|
|
|
|
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"map": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": [
|
|
"-y",
|
|
"--silent",
|
|
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
|
|
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-map",
|
|
"--stdio"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **3D Globe Rendering**: Interactive CesiumJS globe with rotation, zoom, and 3D perspective
|
|
- **Geocoding**: Search for places using OpenStreetMap Nominatim (no API key required)
|
|
- **OpenStreetMap Tiles**: Uses free OSM tile server (no Cesium Ion token needed)
|
|
- **Dynamic Loading**: CesiumJS loaded from CDN at runtime for smaller bundle size
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
1. Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build and start the server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run start:http # for Streamable HTTP transport
|
|
# OR
|
|
npm run start:stdio # for stdio transport
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. View using the [`basic-host`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/basic-host) example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.
|
|
|
|
## Tools
|
|
|
|
### `geocode`
|
|
|
|
Search for places by name or address. Returns coordinates and bounding boxes.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"query": "Eiffel Tower"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Returns up to 5 matches with lat/lon coordinates and bounding boxes.
|
|
|
|
### `show-map`
|
|
|
|
Display the 3D globe zoomed to a bounding box.
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"west": 2.29,
|
|
"south": 48.85,
|
|
"east": 2.3,
|
|
"north": 48.86,
|
|
"label": "Eiffel Tower"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Defaults to London if no coordinates provided.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Server (`server.ts`)
|
|
|
|
Exposes two tools:
|
|
|
|
- `geocode` - Queries OpenStreetMap Nominatim API with rate limiting
|
|
- `show-map` - Renders the CesiumJS globe UI at a specified location
|
|
|
|
Configures Content Security Policy to allow fetching tiles from OSM and Cesium CDN.
|
|
|
|
### App (`src/mcp-app.ts`)
|
|
|
|
Vanilla TypeScript app that:
|
|
|
|
- Dynamically loads CesiumJS from CDN
|
|
- Initializes globe with OpenStreetMap imagery (no Ion token)
|
|
- Receives tool inputs via the MCP App SDK
|
|
- Handles camera navigation to specified bounding boxes
|
|
|
|
## Key Files
|
|
|
|
- [`server.ts`](server.ts) - MCP server with geocode and show-map tools
|
|
- [`mcp-app.html`](mcp-app.html) / [`src/mcp-app.ts`](src/mcp-app.ts) - CesiumJS globe UI
|
|
- [`server-utils.ts`](server-utils.ts) - HTTP server utilities
|
|
|
|
## Notes
|
|
|
|
- Rate limiting is applied to Nominatim requests (1 request per second per their usage policy)
|
|
- The globe works in sandboxed iframes with appropriate CSP configuration
|
|
- No external API keys required - uses only open data sources
