    From the README

    This repo contains the SDK and specification for MCP Apps Extension (SEP-1865).

    MCP Apps are a proposed standard inspired by MCP-UI and OpenAI's Apps SDK to allow MCP Servers to display interactive UI elements in conversational MCP clients / chatbots.

    MCP tools return text and structured data. That works for many cases, but not when you need an interactive UI, like a chart, form, or video player.

    MCP Apps provide a standardized way to deliver interactive UIs from MCP servers. Your UI renders inline in the conversation, in context, in any compliant host.
