docs: add MCP client configuration to example READMEs
Add 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: Three.js App
![Screenshot](screenshot.png)
Interactive 3D scene renderer using Three.js. Demonstrates streaming code preview and full MCP App integration.
## MCP Client Configuration
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
```json
{
"mcpServers": {
"threejs": {
"command": "npx",
"args": [
"-y",
"--silent",
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-threejs",
"--stdio"
]
}
}
}
```
## Features
- **Interactive 3D Rendering**: Execute JavaScript code to create and animate Three.js scenes
- **Streaming Preview**: See the scene build in real-time as code is being written
- **Built-in Helpers**: Pre-configured `OrbitControls`, post-processing effects (bloom), and render passes
- **Documentation Tool**: `learn_threejs` provides API docs and code examples on demand
## 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.
### Tool Input
To test the example, copy the contents of [`test-input.json`](test-input.json) into the tool input field in `basic-host`.
The test input creates a simple scene with a rotating cube:
```javascript
const scene = new THREE.Scene();
const camera = new THREE.PerspectiveCamera(60, width / height, 0.1, 100);
camera.position.set(2, 2, 2);
const renderer = new THREE.WebGLRenderer({ canvas, antialias: true });
renderer.setSize(width, height);
renderer.shadowMap.enabled = true;
const cube = new THREE.Mesh(
new THREE.BoxGeometry(),
new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x00ff88 }),
);
cube.castShadow = true;
cube.position.y = 0.5;
scene.add(cube);
const floor = new THREE.Mesh(
new THREE.PlaneGeometry(5, 5),
new THREE.MeshStandardMaterial({ color: 0x222233 }),
);
floor.rotation.x = -Math.PI / 2;
floor.receiveShadow = true;
scene.add(floor);
const light = new THREE.DirectionalLight(0xffffff, 2);
light.position.set(3, 5, 3);
light.castShadow = true;
scene.add(light);
scene.add(new THREE.AmbientLight(0x404040));
function animate() {
requestAnimationFrame(animate);
cube.rotation.y += 0.01;
renderer.render(scene, camera);
}
animate();
```
#### Available Three.js Globals
When writing custom code, these globals are available:
```javascript
THREE; // Three.js library
canvas; // Pre-created canvas element
width; // Canvas width
height; // Canvas height
OrbitControls; // Camera controls
EffectComposer; // Post-processing composer
RenderPass; // Render pass
UnrealBloomPass; // Bloom effect
```
## Architecture
### Server (`server.ts`)
Exposes two tools:
- `show_threejs_scene` - Renders a 3D scene from JavaScript code
- `learn_threejs` - Returns documentation and code examples for Three.js APIs
Supports Streamable HTTP and stdio transports.
### App (`src/threejs-app.tsx`)
React component that:
- Receives tool inputs via the MCP App SDK
- Displays streaming preview from `toolInputsPartial.code` as code arrives
- Executes final code from `toolInputs.code` when complete
- Renders to a pre-created canvas with configurable height
