This PR:

  • Adds comprehensive API docs in the form of TypeDoc comments, which show up in VSCode Intellisense, etc.
  • Adds a GitHub Actions workflow to publish the API docs to GitHub Pages (with room to add custom documentation / guides in the future). Currently, the workflow is run manually, but we can add release triggers once we decide how we want to handle releases. Visit https://jonathan.hefner.pro/mcp-ext-apps/ to see what it looks like.
  • Improves the README (which is also copied into the generated API docs).

Replace z.infer<typeof Schema> patterns with explicit interface
definitions for all MCP UI types. Add VerifySchemaMatches helper
type to ensure compile-time verification that schemas match their
interfaces.

Add comprehensive JSDoc documentation to all exported types including:
- Clear descriptions of purpose and usage
- @see references to related types and methods
- Code examples where helpful
- @internal markers for implementation details

Document all notification and request handler setters in AppBridge
and App classes with comprehensive JSDoc comments including:
- Clear descriptions of when handlers are called
- Parameter documentation and types
- Practical code examples with error handling
- Cross-references to related types and methods
- Security considerations where relevant

Also update types.ts to document optional isError fields in result
types and make McpUiInitializedNotification params optional.

Document new public APIs introduced in merge commit 74a7b1f:
- getHostCapabilities() - getter for host capabilities after connect
- getHostVersion() - getter for host implementation info after connect
- oncalltool setter - convenience handler for tool call requests
- onlisttools setter - convenience handler for tool listing requests
- RESOURCE_URI_META_KEY constant - metadata key for resource URIs

Add index signatures to McpUiMessageResult and McpUiOpenLinkResult
for MCP SDK Protocol class compatibility, matching the existing
pattern in McpUiInitializeResult.

Replace unqualified @link references with module-qualified syntax to fix
"Failed to resolve link" warnings during docs generation. TypeDoc cannot
resolve links like {@link App.sendOpenLink} without imports, so use the
module-qualified format {@link app.App.sendOpenLink} instead.

Changes:
- types.ts: Fix 9 cross-module links to App and AppBridge methods
- app-bridge.ts: Fix 2 references to App.sendSizeChange
- message-transport.ts: Fix 2 references to App.connect and AppBridge.connect

This eliminates all "Failed to resolve link" warnings without requiring
circular imports or removing documentation cross-references.

Remove @link references to types that are either:
- Not exported (AppOptions) - internal implementation detail
- From external packages (@modelcontextprotocol/sdk) - not included in docs

This eliminates warnings about resolved but undocumented types. The type
information is still available through TypeScript's type system and parameter
documentation, but without broken links in the generated documentation.

Removed links to:
- AppOptions (internal type)
- Implementation, CallToolRequest, CallToolResult (MCP SDK types)
- ListToolsRequest, LoggingMessageNotification (MCP SDK types)

Reduces warnings from 12 to 4 (remaining are about missing example files).

Update SDK dependency to fix CI build failures caused by version
mismatch. CI was installing 1.23.0 (latest compatible with ^1.22.0)
while local builds used 1.22.0.

Note: package-lock.json is gitignored, which prevents reproducible
builds. Consider committing it to ensure CI uses the same versions
as local development.

The SDK imports Zod from 'zod/v4' while this package imported from
'zod'. Although both resolve to the same version (3.25.x), TypeScript
sees them as separate modules with incompatible type declarations.

This caused type errors when:
- Extending SDK schemas like RequestSchema.extend()
- Passing SDK schemas to setRequestHandler/setNotificationHandler
- Using ZodObject/ZodLiteral types from different import paths

Changes:
- Import zod from 'zod/v4' to match SDK import path
- Update z.record() calls to use Zod v4 signature (requires both
  key and value schemas)

Thanks Jonathan!

Just one suggested fix (onsizechange example) then good to go!

*
* Note: This interface does NOT expose App options like `autoResize`.
* The hook creates the App with default options (autoResize: true). If you need
* custom App options, create the App manually instead of using this hook.
