JupyterLab Extension

The JupyterLab extension is implemented in TypeScript and provides:

Active cell content bridging
Cell execution
Cell manipulation
Cursor movement

Source location: instrmcp/extensions/jupyterlab/src/index.ts

Key Components

Extension Activation

The extension is activated when JupyterLab loads and registers:

Comm message handlers
Cell operation handlers
Response message handlers

Comm Protocol

Messages sent from Python kernel to frontend:

get_cell: Request current cell content
update_cell: Update cell content
execute_cell: Execute cell code
add_cell: Add new cell
delete_cell: Delete cell
apply_patch: Apply text patch
move_cursor: Change active cell

Response messages from frontend to kernel:

cell_data: Cell content response
update_response: Update confirmation
execute_response: Execution confirmation
add_cell_response: Addition confirmation
delete_cell_response: Deletion confirmation
apply_patch_response: Patch confirmation
move_cursor_response: Cursor movement confirmation

Building the Extension

cd instrmcp/extensions/jupyterlab
jlpm run build

The build process:

Compiles TypeScript to JavaScript
Bundles with webpack
Copies files to labextension directory
Updates package.json with build metadata

See Jupyter Integration for more details on the extension architecture.
