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: 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.

## MCP Client Configuration
|
|
|
|
Add to your MCP client configuration (stdio transport):
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"mcpServers": {
|
|
"wiki-explorer": {
|
|
"command": "npx",
|
|
"args": [
|
|
"-y",
|
|
"--silent",
|
|
"--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
|
|
"@modelcontextprotocol/server-wiki-explorer",
|
|
"--stdio"
|
|
]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Force-directed graph visualization**: Interactive graph powered by [`force-graph`](https://github.com/vasturiano/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:
|
|
|
|
```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
|
|
|
|
To test the example, call the `get-first-degree-links` tool with a Wikipedia URL:
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"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
