* 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 \ 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: 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.
|
|
|
|
<table>
|
|
<tr>
|
|
<td><a href="https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/screenshots/sheet-music-server/01-twinkle-twinkle-little-star.png"><img src="https://modelcontextprotocol.github.io/ext-apps/screenshots/sheet-music-server/01-twinkle-twinkle-little-star.png" alt="Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star" width="100%"></a></td>

</table>
|
|
|
|
## 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()`)
|
