Introduce new example implementations to replace simple-host and simple-server: - basic-host: Reference host implementation with double-iframe sandbox pattern for secure UI isolation (outer iframe validates and relays messages, inner iframe renders untrusted tool UI via srcdoc) - basic-server-react: MCP server example demonstrating tool registration with linked UI resources and React UI using the useApp() hook Build infrastructure updates: - Add build:all script and simplify CI/pre-commit to use it - Add examples:dev for watch-mode development workflow Also change PostMessageTransport logging from info to debug level. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Example: Basic Server (React)
|
|
|
|
An MCP App example with a React UI.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
- Tool registration with a linked UI resource
|
|
- React UI using the [`useApp()`](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/api/functions/_modelcontextprotocol_ext-apps_react.useApp.html) hook
|
|
- App communication APIs: [`callServerTool`](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/api/classes/app.App.html#callservertool), [`sendMessage`](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/api/classes/app.App.html#sendmessage), [`sendLog`](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/api/classes/app.App.html#sendlog), [`sendOpenLink`](https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/api/classes/app.App.html#sendopenlink)

|
## Key Files
|
|
|
|
- [`server.ts`](server.ts) - MCP server with tool and resource registration
|
|
- [`mcp-app.html`](mcp-app.html) / [`src/mcp-app.tsx`](src/mcp-app.tsx) - React UI using `useApp()` hook
|
|
|
|
## Getting Started
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
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.
