Example: Cohort Heatmap App

A demo MCP App that displays cohort retention data as an interactive heatmap, showing customer retention over time by signup month.

Initial view Hover state Low retention hover

Features

  • Cohort Retention Heatmap: Color-coded grid showing retention percentages across cohorts and time periods
  • Multiple Metrics: Switch between Retention %, Revenue Retention, and Active Users
  • Period Types: View data by monthly or weekly intervals
  • Interactive Exploration: Hover cells for detailed tooltips, click to highlight rows/columns
  • Color Scale: Green (high retention) through yellow to red (low retention)
  • Theme Support: Adapts to light/dark mode preferences

Running

  1. Install dependencies:

    npm install

  2. Build and start the server:

    npm run start:http  # for Streamable HTTP transport
# OR
npm run start:stdio  # for stdio transport

  3. View using the basic-host example or another MCP Apps-compatible host.

Architecture

Server (server.ts)

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

  • Cohort rows with signup month, original user count, and retention cells
  • Period headers and labels
  • Configurable parameters: metric type, period type, cohort count, max periods

The tool generates synthetic cohort data using an exponential decay model with configurable retention curves per metric type.

App (src/mcp-app.tsx)

  • Uses React for the heatmap visualization
  • Fetches data on mount and when filters change
  • Displays retention percentages in a grid with HSL color interpolation
  • Shows detailed tooltips on hover with user counts and exact retention values
  • Supports row/column highlighting on cell click
