+# DXT Examples
+
+This directory contains example Desktop Extensions that demonstrate the DXT format and manifest structure. These are **reference implementations** designed to illustrate how to build DXT extensions.
+
+## ⚠️ Not Production Ready
+
+**Important:** These examples are **NOT intended for production use**. They serve as:
+
+- Demonstrations of the DXT manifest format
+- Templates for building your own extensions  
+- Simple MCP server implementations for testing
+
+But, the MCP servers themselves are not robust secure production ready servers and should not be relied upon for production use. 
+
+## Examples Included
+
+| Example | Type | Demonstrates |
+|---------|------|-------------|
+| `hello-world-node` | Node.js | Basic MCP server with simple time tool |
+| `chrome-applescript` | Node.js | Browser automation via AppleScript |
+| `file-manager-python` | Python | File system operations and path handling |
+
+## Usage
+
+Each example includes its own `manifest.json` and can be packed with:
+
+```bash
+dxt pack examples/hello-world-node
+```
+
+Use these as starting points for your own extensions, but ensure you implement proper security measures before deploying to users.
