description: How to use the MCP Apps extension to deliver interactive UIs from MCP servers.
uid: apps

# MCP Apps
[MCP Apps] is an extension to the Model Context Protocol that enables MCP servers to deliver interactive user interfaces — dashboards, forms, visualizations, and more — directly inside conversational AI clients.
[MCP Apps]: https://modelcontextprotocol.io/extensions/apps/overview
> [!IMPORTANT]
> MCP Apps support is experimental. All types are marked with `[Experimental("MCPEXP003")]` and require suppressing that diagnostic to use.
## Installation
MCP Apps is provided in the `ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps` package, which layers on top of the core SDK:
```shell
dotnet add package ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps
```
## Overview
The MCP Apps extension introduces the concept of **UI resources** — HTML pages served by the MCP server that a client can display alongside the conversation. Tools can be associated with a UI resource so the client knows which interface to show when a tool is called.
The key concepts are:
- **UI capability negotiation** — Client and server declare support via `extensions["io.modelcontextprotocol/ui"]`
- **UI resources** — HTML content served with the MIME type `text/html;profile=mcp-app`
- **Tool UI metadata** — Tools declare their associated UI resource in `_meta.ui`
## Associating tools with UI resources
### Using the builder extension (recommended)
The simplest approach is to apply `[McpAppUi]` attributes to your tool methods and call `WithMcpApps()` on the server builder:
```csharp
[McpServerToolType]
public class WeatherTools
{
[McpServerTool, Description("Get current weather for a location")]
[McpAppUi(ResourceUri = "ui://weather/view.html")]
public static string GetWeather(string location) => $"Weather for {location}";
[McpServerTool, Description("Get forecast (model-only tool)")]
[McpAppUi(ResourceUri = "ui://weather/forecast.html", Visibility = [McpUiToolVisibility.Model])]
public static string GetForecast(string location) => $"Forecast for {location}";
}
```
```csharp
builder.Services.AddMcpServer()
.WithTools<WeatherTools>()
.WithMcpApps();
```
The `WithMcpApps()` call registers a post-configuration step that processes all registered tools and applies `[McpAppUi]` attribute metadata to their `_meta.ui` field automatically.
### Using the attribute with manual processing
If you create tools manually (without `WithMcpApps()`), you can still use the attribute and process tools explicitly:
```csharp
var tools = new[]
{
McpServerTool.Create(typeof(WeatherTools).GetMethod(nameof(WeatherTools.GetWeather))!),
McpServerTool.Create(typeof(WeatherTools).GetMethod(nameof(WeatherTools.GetForecast))!),
};
McpApps.ApplyAppUiAttributes(tools);
```
### Using the programmatic API
For full control, use `McpApps.SetAppUi` to set UI metadata directly:
```csharp
var tool = McpServerTool.Create((string location) => $"Weather for {location}");
McpApps.SetAppUi(tool, new McpUiToolMeta
{
ResourceUri = "ui://weather/view.html",
Visibility = [McpUiToolVisibility.Model, McpUiToolVisibility.App],
});
```
## Checking client capabilities
During a session, you can check whether the connected client supports MCP Apps:
```csharp
[McpServerTool, Description("Get weather")]
[McpAppUi(ResourceUri = "ui://weather/view.html")]
public static string GetWeather(McpServer server, string location)
{
var uiCapability = McpApps.GetUiCapability(server.ClientCapabilities);
if (uiCapability is not null)
{
// Client supports MCP Apps — the UI will be displayed
}
return $"Weather for {location}";
}
```
## Tool visibility
The `Visibility` property controls which principals can invoke the tool:
| Value | Meaning |
| - | - |
| `McpUiToolVisibility.Model` | Only the LLM can call this tool |
| `McpUiToolVisibility.App` | Only the app UI can call this tool |
| Both (or null/empty) | Both the model and app can call the tool (default) |
## UI resources
UI resources are HTML pages registered with the MCP server using the `ui://` URI scheme and the `text/html;profile=mcp-app` MIME type. The `McpUiResourceMeta` type provides metadata for these resources, including:
- **CSP (Content Security Policy)** — Controls allowed origins for network requests and resource loads
- **Permissions** — Sandbox permissions (scripts, forms, popups, etc.)
- **Domain** — Dedicated origin for OAuth flows and CORS
- **PrefersBorder** — Whether the host should render a visual border
## App-only tools
Tools with `Visibility = [McpUiToolVisibility.App]` are not visible to the LLM — they are intended only for use by the app UI.
This is useful for tools that serve UI interaction (button handlers, form submissions) without cluttering the model's tool list:
```csharp
[McpServerTool, Description("Submit the weather form")]
[McpAppUi(ResourceUri = "ui://weather/view.html", Visibility = [McpUiToolVisibility.App])]
public static string SubmitWeatherForm(string city) => GetWeatherHtml(city);
```
## Graceful degradation
Not all clients support MCP Apps. Use `GetUiCapability` to detect support and return text-only content as a fallback:
```csharp
[McpServerTool, Description("Get weather")]
[McpAppUi(ResourceUri = "ui://weather/view.html")]
public static string GetWeather(McpServer server, string location)
{
var uiCapability = McpApps.GetUiCapability(server.ClientCapabilities);
if (uiCapability is null)
{
// Client doesn't support MCP Apps — return plain text
return $"Current weather for {location}: 72°F, sunny";
}
// Client supports MCP Apps — the UI resource will be displayed
return $"Weather data for {location} loaded into UI";
}
```
## Display modes
The MCP Apps spec defines display modes (`inline`, `fullscreen`, `pip`) that control how the host renders the UI. Display mode is negotiated between the client and server during capability exchange and is not set per-tool — it depends on the host implementation.
## Host theming
Hosts pass standardized CSS custom properties (e.g., `--color-background-primary`, `--color-text-primary`) to app iframes. Your HTML can reference these variables to automatically match the host's theme without any server-side configuration.
See the [MCP Apps specification](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/blob/main/specification/draft/apps.mdx) for the full list of CSS variables.
## Single-file HTML bundling
The default Content Security Policy restricts external script and style loads. For production apps, bundle all JavaScript and CSS into a single HTML file using tools like [vite-plugin-singlefile](https://github.com/richardtallent/vite-plugin-singlefile). For simple apps, inline `<script>` and `<style>` tags work directly.
## Constants
The <xref:ModelContextProtocol.Extensions.Apps.McpApps> class provides constants for protocol values:
| Constant | Value | Usage |
| - | - | - |
| `McpApps.HtmlMimeType` | `text/html;profile=mcp-app` | MIME type for UI resources |
| `McpApps.ExtensionId` | `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` | Key in `extensions` capability dictionary |
## Serialization
MCP Apps types use source-generated JSON serialization for Native AOT compatibility. Use `McpApps.SerializerOptions` when serializing extension types:
```csharp
var json = JsonSerializer.Serialize(toolMeta, McpApps.SerializerOptions);
var deserialized = JsonSerializer.Deserialize<McpUiToolMeta>(json, McpApps.SerializerOptions);
```

# Weather App Server
An MCP server that demonstrates the **MCP Apps** extension by serving an interactive weather forecast UI alongside weather tools.
## What it shows
- **`[McpAppUi]` attribute** — declaratively associates a UI resource with a tool
- **`WithMcpApps()`** — builder extension that processes `[McpAppUi]` attributes
- **UI resource** — an HTML page served via `McpServerResource` with MIME type `text/html;profile=mcp-app`
- **Structured content** — tool results include `StructuredContent` for the UI to render
## Running
```bash
dotnet run
```
The server starts on `http://localhost:5000` by default. Connect any MCP Apps-capable client to the `/mcp` endpoint.
Then prompt that will cause the LLM to request the use of the "weather_ui" tool.
A general prompt like "What's the weather?" will probably work, but if not you could try explicitly requesting the tool
with something like "@weather_ui". This should load the Weather App UI in an iFrame that you can then interact with
to get the weather forecast for a number of US cities.
![UI of the Weather Forecast MCP App in VS Code](./WeatherUI.png)
## Tools
| Tool | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `weather_ui` | Opens the weather forecast UI |
| `weather_forecast` | Gets a multi-period forecast from the National Weather Service for a US city |
Both tools are linked to the `ui://weather-app/forecast` resource via the `[McpAppUi]` attribute.
## Resources
| URI | Description |
|-----|-------------|
| `ui://weather-app/forecast` | Interactive weather forecast HTML UI |
| `data://weather-app/us-cities` | JSON list of supported US cities |
