# Example: System Monitor App
|
|
|
|
A demo MCP App that displays real-time OS metrics with a stacked area chart for per-core CPU usage and a bar gauge for memory.
|
|
|
|
## Features
|
|
|
|
- **Per-Core CPU Monitoring**: Stacked area chart showing individual CPU core utilization over a 1-minute sliding window
|
|
- **Memory Usage**: Horizontal bar gauge with color-coded thresholds (green/yellow/red)
|
|
- **System Info**: Hostname, platform, and uptime display
|
|
- **Auto-Polling**: Automatically starts monitoring on load with 2-second refresh interval
|
|
- **Theme Support**: Adapts to light/dark mode preferences
|
|
|
|
## Running
|
|
|
|
1. Install dependencies:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
2. Build and start the server:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm start
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The server will listen on `http://localhost:3001/mcp`.
|
|
|
|
3. View using the [`basic-host`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/basic-host) example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.
|
|
|
|
## Architecture
|
|
|
|
### Server (`server.ts`)
|
|
|
|
Exposes a single `get-system-stats` tool that returns:
|
|
|
|
- Raw per-core CPU timing data (idle/total counters)
|
|
- Memory usage (used/total/percentage)
|
|
- System info (hostname, platform, uptime)
|
|
|
|
The tool is linked to a UI resource via `_meta[RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY]`.
|
|
|
|
### App (`src/mcp-app.ts`)
|
|
|
|
- Uses Chart.js for the stacked area chart visualization
|
|
- Polls the server tool every 2 seconds
|
|
- Computes CPU usage percentages client-side from timing deltas
|
|
- Maintains a 30-point history (1 minute at 2s intervals)
|
|
- Updates all UI elements on each poll
