Architecture

Server (server.ts)

Exposes a single get-scenario-data tool that returns:

  • 5 pre-built scenario templates with parameters, projections, and summaries
  • Default input values for the sliders
  • Optionally computes custom projections when customInputs are provided

The tool is linked to a UI resource via _meta[RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY].

App (src/)

  • Built with React for reactive slider updates and derived state management
  • Uses Chart.js for the line chart visualization
  • All projection calculations run client-side for instant slider feedback
  • Components: SliderRow, MetricCard, ProjectionChart
  • Template comparison shown as dashed overlay lines on the chart
