MCP Apps: Extending the Frontier — Ido Salomon & Liad Yosef
MCP Apps is a method for AI assistants to display interactive interfaces instead of long text blocks.
Liad Yosef, who created MCP UI, demonstrates how a server can return an actual button, chart, or interactive view that renders directly in chat — and when users click, responses flow back into the AI's loop. Because it is an open standard rather than a tool-specific solution, the same interface appears everywhere — from small tools to platforms with hundreds of millions of weekly users. The specification is still being developed, including how apps and chat should communicate with each other.
