cce8d5c7a3Add stdio transport configuration snippets near the top of each example README to help users quickly set up the servers in their MCP clients. - Node.js examples use npx with the published npm packages - Python qr-server uses uv with local path - Removed Claude Desktop-specific references from qr-server

# Example: Sheet Music Server
|
|
|
|
A demo MCP App that renders [ABC notation](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_notation) as sheet music with interactive audio playback using the [abcjs](https://www.abcjs.net/) library.

## MCP Client Configuration
|
|
|
|
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"sheet-music": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": [
|
|
"-y",
|
|
"--silent",
|
|
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
|
|
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-sheet-music",
|
|
"--stdio"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Audio Playback**: Built-in audio player with play/pause and loop controls
|
|
- **Sheet Music Rendering**: Displays ABC notation as properly formatted sheet music
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
1. Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build and start the server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run start:http # for Streamable HTTP transport
|
|
# OR
|
|
npm run start:stdio # for stdio transport
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
3. View using the [`basic-host`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/basic-host) example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.
|
|
|
|
### Tool Input
|
|
|
|
When calling the `play-sheet-music` tool, provide ABC notation:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"abcNotation": "X:1
|
|
T:C Major Scale
|
|
M:4/4
|
|
L:1/4
|
|
K:C
|
|
C D E F | G A B c |"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
#### ABC Notation Examples
|
|
|
|
**C Major Scale:**
|
|
|
|
```abc
|
|
X:1
|
|
T:C Major Scale
|
|
M:4/4
|
|
L:1/4
|
|
K:C
|
|
C D E F | G A B c |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
**Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star:**
|
|
|
|
```abc
|
|
X:1
|
|
T:Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star
|
|
M:4/4
|
|
L:1/4
|
|
K:C
|
|
C C G G | A A G2 | F F E E | D D C2 |
|
|
G G F F | E E D2 | G G F F | E E D2 |
|
|
C C G G | A A G2 | F F E E | D D C2 |
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Server (`server.ts`)
|
|
|
|
Exposes a single `play-sheet-music` tool that accepts:
|
|
|
|
- `abcNotation`: ABC notation string to render
|
|
|
|
The tool validates the ABC notation server-side using the abcjs parser and returns any parse errors. The actual rendering happens client-side when the UI receives the tool input.
|
|
|
|
### App (`src/mcp-app.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Receives ABC notation via `ontoolinput` handler
|
|
- Uses abcjs for audio playback controls and sheet music rendering (in `renderAbc()`)
|
