feat: compile example servers to JavaScript for npm consumption (#259)
* feat: compile example servers to JavaScript for npm consumption

Add TypeScript compilation for server code so the example packages can be
imported and used by consumers without requiring TypeScript compilation.

Changes:
- Add tsconfig.server.json to each example for compiling server code
- Update package.json exports to point to compiled dist/server/server.js
- Add types field pointing to dist/server/server.d.ts
- Update build scripts to include server compilation step
- Fix .ts import extensions to .js in customer-segmentation-server

This enables importing the createServer function from published packages:
  import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react';

* fix: add type assertion for Nominatim API response

* chore: regenerate schemas

* refactor: split server examples into library and binary entry points

- server.ts: exports createServer() only (library entry point)
- main.ts: entry point with main() that runs the server (binary)
- package.json: adds bin field for npx support, uses inline bun build
- tsconfig.server.json: emitDeclarationOnly, outputs to dist/

This allows:
1. Importing the server as a library: import { createServer } from '@modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react'
2. Running with npx: npx @modelcontextprotocol/server-basic-react [--stdio]

Added migration script at scripts/migrate-server-examples.ts

* refactor: migrate remaining server examples to library/binary structure

Apply the same refactoring to all 13 remaining server examples:
- scenario-modeler-server, shadertoy-server, map-server
- cohort-heatmap-server, customer-segmentation-server, video-resource-server
- system-monitor-server, budget-allocator-server, sheet-music-server
- threejs-server, integration-server, transcript-server, wiki-explorer-server

Each now has:
- server.ts: exports createServer() (library)
- main.ts: runs the server (binary with shebang)
- bin field in package.json for npx support

* chore: remove unused server-utils.ts from video-resource-server/src

* update

* fix(build): make Windows-compatible by removing chmod and fixing bun externals

- Remove 'chmod +x dist/index.js' which doesn't exist on Windows
- Add '--external ./server.js' to prevent bun from treating the import as a second entry point

* fix(build): use .ts import for bun compatibility

- Change import from './server.js' to './server.ts' in main.ts files
- Remove --external flag since bun should inline everything
- Fixes Windows build where bun couldn't resolve .js to .ts properly

* fix(build): use --external for Windows bun compatibility

Bun on Windows incorrectly treats imported .ts files as entry points.
Use --external './server.js' to work around this, creating a runtime
dependency between index.js and server.js.

* style: fix prettier formatting in pdf-server/main.ts

* fix(build): remove quotes from --external for Windows cmd.exe compatibility

* fix(build): use glob pattern for --external to work on all platforms

The literal path --external ./server.js was not matching the import.
Using glob pattern --external "./server*" correctly externalizes the server module.

* fix(build): use */server.js pattern for --external

The "./server*" pattern was not matching on Windows.
Using "*/server.js" matches any path ending in /server.js which works cross-platform.

* fix(build): use *server.js pattern without slash for Windows compatibility

* update package-lock

* chore: regenerate package-lock.json for cross-platform compatibility

* fix(build): use ./server.js instead of glob pattern for Windows compatibility

* fix(build): use double quotes for banner to fix Windows cmd.exe compatibility

Example: Wiki Explorer

Visualizes Wikipedia link graphs using a force-directed layout. Explore how Wikipedia pages are connected by expanding nodes to reveal first-degree links.

Zoomed Pop-up Expanded graph

Features

  • Force-directed graph visualization: Interactive graph powered by force-graph
  • Node expansion: Click any node to expand and see all pages it links to
  • Visual state tracking: Nodes change color based on state (blue = default, green = expanded, red = error)
  • Direct page access: Open any Wikipedia page in your browser

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.

Tool Input

To test the example, call the get-first-degree-links tool with a Wikipedia URL:

{
  "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graph_theory"
}

Click nodes in the graph to Open (view in browser) or Expand (visualize linked pages).

Architecture

Server (server.ts)

MCP server that fetches Wikipedia pages and extracts internal links.

Exposes one tool:

  • get-first-degree-links - Returns links to other Wikipedia pages from a given page

App (src/mcp-app.ts)

Vanilla TypeScript app using force-graph for visualization that:

  • Receives tool inputs via the MCP App SDK
  • Renders an interactive force-directed graph
  • Supports node expansion to explore link relationships
