feat: add example gallery with auto-generated screenshots (#253)
* feat: add script to generate 300x300 grid-cell.png screenshots for examples

- Add generate-grid-screenshots.spec.ts Playwright test to capture screenshots
- Add npm run generate:screenshots command (Docker-based for Santa compatibility)
- Add sharp dependency for image resizing with centered-fill mode
- Generate grid-cell.png for 14 example servers (only React for basic-server-* series)

The screenshots are 300x300 PNG images cropped with centered fill mode,
suitable for use in a grid layout showcasing the examples.

* docs: add example gallery grid to README

Add a 3-column visual grid showcasing 14 example MCP Apps with:
- Thumbnail screenshots (300x300 grid-cell.png)
- Clickable links to example directories
- Hover tooltips with brief descriptions

Organized by visual impact: 3D/WebGL examples first, then
visualizations, charts, monitoring, and starter templates.

* fix: use aspect-fit instead of crop for screenshots

Change from fit: 'cover' (crops) to fit: 'contain' (letterbox)
so the full app content is visible without cropping.

* feat: improve screenshot generation

- Constrain viewport to 500px width for consistent rendering
- Wait 5 seconds for full app load (tiles, animations, data)
- Screenshot just the inner iframe (no extra whitespace)
- Save both screenshot.png (full-size) and grid-cell.png (300x300 thumbnail)
- Use contain mode to preserve aspect ratio

* fix: use cover mode with top alignment for grid thumbnails

No letterboxing - crops to fill 300x300, aligned to top so headers
and important content are always visible.

* feat: improve screenshot gallery

- Remove integration-server from gallery (it's for E2E testing only)
- Add 30s extra wait for Map and Video servers to load fully
- Improve Three.js default scene: isometric rotation + better lighting
- Update README: Starter Templates row with links to all framework variants
  (React, Vue, Svelte, Preact, Solid, Vanilla JS)
- Regenerate all screenshots with updated settings

* fix: improve README gallery layout

- Fix uneven column widths by using minimal separator
- Move Starter Templates to separate 2-cell table with description
- Add screenshot.png to top of each example README (13 examples)
- Shorten tooltips for cleaner table

* revert to document.write again; cesiumjs doesn't like srcdoc, period.

* fix: map-server screenshot now renders properly

- Merged ochafik/post-fixes which reverts sandbox from srcdoc to document.write
  (CesiumJS doesn't work with srcdoc iframes)
- Fixed map-server name in screenshot test ('Map Server' not 'CesiumJS Map Server')
- Simplified screenshot generation script (removed complex debugging code)
- Increased map-server wait time to 45s for reliable tile loading
- Regenerated all 13 screenshots

* fix: remove redundant screenshots from READMEs

Remove the simple \![Screenshot](screenshot.png) line from READMEs that
already had nicer HTML table screenshots. Keep it only for examples
that didn't have existing screenshots.

* docs: move gallery to Examples section

- Move screenshot gallery from top of README to Examples section
- Remove redundant list of basic examples (now shown visually in gallery)
- Clean up duplicate run instructions

* fix: remove empty header row from starter templates table

* fix: remove empty header rows from both tables

* fix: add prettier-ignore to prevent table header expansion

* feat: use custom screenshot for video-resource-server

- Use better screenshot from PR #253 comment showing actual video playback
- Skip video-resource-server in screenshot generation script
- Add SKIP_SERVERS set for manually maintained screenshots

* fix: revert unrelated map-server name change

* fix: use correct server name 'CesiumJS Map Server' in screenshot test

Example: SaaS Scenario Modeler

A React-based demo MCP App that lets users adjust SaaS business parameters and see real-time 12-month projections of revenue, costs, and profitability with comparison against pre-built scenario templates.

Compare to Bootstrapped growth VC rocketship

Features

  • Interactive Parameters: 5 sliders for Starting MRR, Growth Rate, Churn Rate, Gross Margin, and Fixed Costs
  • 12-Month Projections: Line chart showing MRR, Gross Profit, and Net Profit over time
  • Scenario Templates: 5 pre-built business strategies (Bootstrapped, VC Rocketship, Cash Cow, Turnaround, Efficient Growth)
  • Template Comparison: Overlay dashed lines to compare your scenario against any template
  • Summary Metrics: Key metrics including Ending MRR, Total Revenue, Total Profit, and break-even month
  • 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-scenario-data tool that returns:

  • 5 pre-built scenario templates with parameters, projections, and summaries
  • Default input values for the sliders
  • Optionally computes custom projections when customInputs are provided

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

App (src/)

  • Built with React for reactive slider updates and derived state management
  • Uses Chart.js for the line chart visualization
  • All projection calculations run client-side for instant slider feedback
  • Components: SliderRow, MetricCard, ProjectionChart
  • Template comparison shown as dashed overlay lines on the chart
