feat: add server helpers, make connect() to default to parent post transport (#165)
* feat: add server helpers and optional connect() transport

Add `src/server/` with convenience functions for registering MCP App tools
and resources:

- `registerAppTool(server, name, config, handler)`
- `registerAppResource(server, name, uri, config, callback)`

The `transport` parameter in `App.connect()` is now optional, defaulting to
`PostMessageTransport(window.parent)`.

* fix: refine server helper types

- Make RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY required in McpUiAppToolConfig (tools need a UI resource)
- Make _meta optional in McpUiAppResourceConfig (not all resources need custom metadata)

Getting Started

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.
