feat: compile example servers to JavaScript for npm consumption (#259)
* feat: compile example servers to JavaScript for npm consumption

Add TypeScript compilation for server code so the example packages can be
imported and used by consumers without requiring TypeScript compilation.

Changes:
- Add tsconfig.server.json to each example for compiling server code
- Update package.json exports to point to compiled dist/server/server.js
- Add types field pointing to dist/server/server.d.ts
- Update build scripts to include server compilation step
- Fix .ts import extensions to .js in customer-segmentation-server

This enables importing the createServer function from published packages:
  import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react';

* fix: add type assertion for Nominatim API response

* chore: regenerate schemas

* refactor: split server examples into library and binary entry points

- server.ts: exports createServer() only (library entry point)
- main.ts: entry point with main() that runs the server (binary)
- package.json: adds bin field for npx support, uses inline bun build
- tsconfig.server.json: emitDeclarationOnly, outputs to dist/

This allows:
1. Importing the server as a library: import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react'
2. Running with npx: npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react [--stdio]

Added migration script at scripts/migrate-server-examples.ts

* refactor: migrate remaining server examples to library/binary structure

Apply the same refactoring to all 13 remaining server examples:
- scenario-modeler-server, shadertoy-server, map-server
- cohort-heatmap-server, customer-segmentation-server, video-resource-server
- system-monitor-server, budget-allocator-server, sheet-music-server
- threejs-server, integration-server, transcript-server, wiki-explorer-server

Each now has:
- server.ts: exports createServer() (library)
- main.ts: runs the server (binary with shebang)
- bin field in package.json for npx support

* chore: remove unused server-utils.ts from video-resource-server/src

* update

* fix(build): make Windows-compatible by removing chmod and fixing bun externals

- Remove 'chmod +x dist/index.js' which doesn't exist on Windows
- Add '--external ./server.js' to prevent bun from treating the import as a second entry point

* fix(build): use .ts import for bun compatibility

- Change import from './server.js' to './server.ts' in main.ts files
- Remove --external flag since bun should inline everything
- Fixes Windows build where bun couldn't resolve .js to .ts properly

* fix(build): use --external for Windows bun compatibility

Bun on Windows incorrectly treats imported .ts files as entry points.
Use --external './server.js' to work around this, creating a runtime
dependency between index.js and server.js.

* style: fix prettier formatting in pdf-server/main.ts

* fix(build): remove quotes from --external for Windows cmd.exe compatibility

* fix(build): use glob pattern for --external to work on all platforms

The literal path --external ./server.js was not matching the import.
Using glob pattern --external "./server*" correctly externalizes the server module.

* fix(build): use */server.js pattern for --external

The "./server*" pattern was not matching on Windows.
Using "*/server.js" matches any path ending in /server.js which works cross-platform.

* fix(build): use *server.js pattern without slash for Windows compatibility

* update package-lock

* chore: regenerate package-lock.json for cross-platform compatibility

* fix(build): use ./server.js instead of glob pattern for Windows compatibility

* fix(build): use double quotes for banner to fix Windows cmd.exe compatibility

Example: Customer Segmentation Explorer

A demo MCP App that displays customer data as an interactive scatter/bubble chart with segment-based clustering. Users can explore different metrics, filter by segment, and click to see detailed customer information.

Account age vs revenue Tickets, NPS, engagement Age, engagement, revenue

Features

  • Interactive Scatter Plot: Bubble chart visualization using Chart.js with configurable X/Y axes
  • Segment Clustering: 250 customers grouped into 4 segments (Enterprise, Mid-Market, SMB, Startup)
  • Axis Selection: Choose from 6 metrics for each axis (Revenue, Employees, Account Age, Engagement, Tickets, NPS)
  • Size Mapping: Optional bubble sizing by a third metric for additional data dimension
  • Legend Filtering: Click segment pills to show/hide customer groups
  • Detail Panel: Hover or click customers to see name, segment, revenue, engagement, and NPS
  • Theme Support: Adapts to light/dark mode preferences

Running

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install
    
  2. Build and start the server:

    npm run start:http  # for Streamable HTTP transport
    # OR
    npm run start:stdio  # for stdio transport
    
  3. View using the basic-host example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.

Architecture

Server (server.ts)

Exposes a single get-customer-data tool that returns:

  • Array of 250 generated customer records with segment assignments
  • Segment summary with counts and colors for each group
  • Optional segment filter parameter

The tool is linked to a UI resource via _meta.ui.resourceUri.

App (src/mcp-app.ts)

  • Uses Chart.js bubble chart for the visualization
  • Fetches data once on connection
  • Dropdown controls update chart axes and bubble sizing
  • Custom legend with clickable segment toggles
  • Detail panel updates on hover/click interactions

Data Generator (src/data-generator.ts)

  • Generates realistic customer data with Gaussian clustering around segment centers
  • Each segment has characteristic ranges for revenue, employees, engagement, etc.
  • Company names generated from word-list combinations (e.g., "Apex Data Corp")
  • Data cached in memory for consistency across requests
