SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This skill helps convert an existing web application into a hybrid MCP App, enabling it to run both as a standalone web app and inside MCP-enabled hosts.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Hybrid wrapping: wrap the app's UI as a resource and register an MCP tool to render it within hosts.
  • Server-side tool & resource registration: provide a workflow to bundle UI with a server wrapper and lifecycle handlers.
  • Reference guidance: include CSP considerations, host styling integration, and two-phase build steps for MCP deployment.

Quick Start

Wrap your existing web app as an MCP App by adding a thin initialization layer, packaging the UI as an MCP resource, and registering a tool.

FAQPage Schema
How do I convert a web app into an MCP App?

To convert a web app into an MCP App, you wrap its UI as an MCP resource, add a thin initialization layer, and register a server tool to control rendering inside MCP-enabled hosts.

What is a hybrid MCP App and how does it work?

A hybrid MCP App works by wrapping a web application's UI as an MCP resource and registering a server tool, allowing the app to run both standalone and embedded inside MCP-enabled hosts.

Can I wrap a single-page application as an MCP resource?

Yes, this process applies to single-page applications and traditional web pages, wrapping them as an MCP resource and registering a control tool for embedding within MCP-enabled hosts.

What do I need to package a web app for MCP integration?

You need a SKILL.md file at the root with a name and description, optional dependency scripts, and CSP or host-styling guidance to properly bundle the UI with a server wrapper and lifecycle handlers.

How do I handle CSP and host styling when embedding a web app in an MCP host?

The skill provides reference guidance for CSP considerations and host styling integration, ensuring your wrapped UI renders correctly within MCP-enabled hosts without security conflicts.

Why does my web app need a server wrapper for MCP deployment?

A server wrapper is required to bundle the UI, register the MCP tool and resource, and handle lifecycle events, enabling the web app to function inside MCP-enabled hosts.
