Overview

MCP Apps is an official protocol and SDK from the Model Context Protocol (MCP) project that enables developers to build interactive UIs—such as charts, forms, and dashboards—that render inline within AI chatbots like Claude, ChatGPT, and other compliant clients. It standardizes how MCP servers serve UI components, allowing tools to present rich, interactive interfaces directly in the chat experience.

Installation

Install the SDK via npm: `npm install @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps`; for Claude Code, add the plugin marketplace with `/plugin marketplace add modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps` and install with `/plugin install mcp-apps@modelcontextprotocol-ext-apps`.

Problem solved

Traditional MCP tools are limited to text-based responses, forcing users to interpret raw data or switch to external apps. MCP Apps solves this by providing a standard way to embed interactive UIs within chat clients, eliminating the need for custom integrations per client and enabling a consistent, rich user experience across multiple platforms.

What you can build

Developers can build interactive data visualizations (e.g., live charts, dashboards), form-based workflows, and complex tool UIs that render inline in chat. The SDK includes agent skills to scaffold new apps, migrate existing OpenAI Apps, add UIs to existing MCP servers, and convert web apps to hybrid web+MCP apps. The ceiling is high: any UI that can be built for the web can be adapted to run inside a compliant chat client, enabling sophisticated data exploration, configuration, and control directly in the conversation.

Bottom line

MCP Apps is a forward-looking standard that bridges the gap between AI chat and rich UI, ideal for developers building interactive tools for AI assistants and organizations wanting to deploy data-driven apps across multiple chat platforms. It should be avoided by those needing minimal dependencies or who target clients that don't yet support the spec. The key trade-off is added complexity for enhanced user experience and cross-client portability.
