Create MCP App

Build interactive UIs that run inside MCP-enabled hosts like Claude Desktop. An MCP App combines an MCP tool with an HTML resource to display rich, interactive content.

Core Concept: Tool + Resource

Every MCP App requires two parts linked together:

  1. Tool - Called by the LLM/host, returns data
  2. Resource - Serves the bundled HTML UI that displays the data

The tool's _meta.ui.resourceUri references the resource's URI.

Host calls tool → Host renders resource UI → Server returns result → UI receives result.
