# 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.
## 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:
```bash
npm install
```
2. Build and start the server:
```bash
npm start
```
The server will listen on `http://localhost:3001/mcp`.
3. View using the [`basic-host`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/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[RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY]`.
### 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 session consistency
