Describe the bug
/examples/map-server is not working with Claude-Desktop.
MCP server loaded correctly but it is not showing any map on UI.

Same problem happened with few other demos too e.g. scenario modeller.

But qr-server demo worked.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Configure Claude Desktop with MCP configuration for map-server :
    {
    "mcpServers": {
    "map": {
    "command": "npx",
    "args": [
    "-y",
    "--silent",
    "--registry=https://registry.npmjs.org/",
    "@modelcontextprotocol/server-map",
    "--stdio"
    ]
    }
    }
    }
  2. Verify MCP configuration is loaded
  3. Ask - show Eifel tower using map

Expected behavior
Should display an interactive map (as described in https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/map-server)
Screenshot attached how the text response looks, but no map displayed

Logs
NA

Additional context
Some demos display UI element correctly (e.g. qr-server), but many others do not.
A screenshot provided for qr demo in Claude Desktop. Similar UI was expected for map demo too,.
