What problem does it solve?

This skill addresses the challenge of building interactive UI widgets for Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, allowing for the creation of dynamic and engaging user interfaces.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Build MCP Apps: Design "MCP apps" with interactive UI elements like forms, pickers, dashboards, and confirmation dialogs.
  • Widget Templates: Utilizes minimal HTML scaffolds for common widget shapes like pickers, confirm dialogs, and progress displays.
  • Deployment Shapes: Supports both remote MCP apps and MCPB-packaged local + UI apps.
  • Widget Attachments: Attach widgets to tools for interactive user interactions within chat interfaces.
  • Widget Development: Guides through the widget development process, including tool registrations and resource handling.

Quick Start

Use the build-mcp-server skill after the build-mcp-server skill has settled the deployment model, or when you know you want UI widgets.

How do I attach a UI widget to an MCP tool for chat interactions?

Attaching a UI widget to an MCP tool requires handling UI resources and tool registration. This integration enables interactive elements like dashboards and forms to function directly within chat interfaces.

What do I need to know before developing MCP apps with interactive elements?

Before developing MCP apps with interactive elements, you need knowledge of MCP server architecture and widget development patterns. Understanding deployment models and UI resource registration is also required.

Does MCP app development support both local and remote deployment?

MCP app development supports both remote MCP apps and MCPB-packaged local plus UI apps. This allows you to choose the deployment shape that fits your interactive widget requirements.

What are the best ways to create forms and pickers for MCP servers?

Creating forms and pickers for MCP servers is best done using minimal HTML widget templates. These scaffolds provide the foundation for common widget shapes, streamlining the interactive development process.
