* feat: add MCP Apps extension (io.modelcontextprotocol/ui) support Adds support for the MCP Apps protocol extension, which lets servers expose interactive HTML UIs as resources rendered by spec-conforming clients (e.g. Goose) in sandboxed iframes. - Generic extension plumbing: ServerExtensionInterface and Builder::enableExtension(), with extensions advertised under capabilities.extensions during the initialize handshake. ClientCapabilities/ServerCapabilities gain an extensions field. - Schema DTOs under Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps: the McpApps marker, UiToolMeta, ToolVisibility enum, UiResourceContentMeta, UiResourceCsp, and UiResourcePermissions (with empty-object presence markers per spec). - A worked weather example under examples/server/mcp-apps/ with a minimal spec-conforming view (ui/initialize handshake, postMessage JSONRPCMessage objects, and ResizeObserver-driven size reporting). - docs/extensions.md guide with pointers from index.md and examples.md to the ext-apps repository for the TypeScript SDK and richer view-side patterns. - Unit and inspector snapshot test coverage. Spec: https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps * Type UiToolMeta visibility as ToolVisibility enum Also fix UiResourceContentMeta::jsonSerialize() return phpdoc.

# Protocol Extensions
|
|
|
|
MCP protocol extensions advertise additional, optional capabilities during the initialize handshake.
|
|
A server opts in via `Builder::enableExtension()`:
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\McpApps;
|
|
use Mcp\Server;
|
|
|
|
$server = Server::builder()
|
|
->setServerInfo('My Server', '1.0.0')
|
|
->enableExtension(new McpApps())
|
|
->build();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Pass one or more `ServerExtensionInterface` instances; multiple extensions can
|
|
be enabled in a single call. Enabling the same extension twice throws a
|
|
`LogicException`.
|
|
|
|
> Note: extensions enabled via `enableExtension()` are merged into the
|
|
> `extensions` capability even when you supply your own `ServerCapabilities` via
|
|
> `setCapabilities()`. An enabled extension overrides any entry under the same
|
|
> id already present in those capabilities.
|
|
|
|
## MCP Apps (`io.modelcontextprotocol/ui`)
|
|
|
|
The [MCP Apps extension][ext-apps] lets servers expose interactive HTML UIs as
|
|
resources. Clients that support it render them in sandboxed iframes and bridge
|
|
tool calls between the iframe (the *View*) and the server via the host.
|
|
|
|
A UI consists of two pieces wired together by `_meta.ui`:
|
|
|
|
1. **A resource** with URI scheme `ui://` and MIME type
|
|
`text/html;profile=mcp-app`, returning the HTML body.
|
|
2. **A tool** linked to that resource via `UiToolMeta`, so the client knows to
|
|
open the UI when the tool is invoked.
|
|
|
|
```php
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Content\TextResourceContents;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\McpApps;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\ToolVisibility;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\UiResourceContentMeta;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\UiResourceCsp;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\UiResourcePermissions;
|
|
use Mcp\Schema\Extension\Apps\UiToolMeta;
|
|
|
|
$server = Server::builder()
|
|
->enableExtension(new McpApps())
|
|
->addResource(
|
|
fn () => new TextResourceContents(
|
|
uri: 'ui://my-app',
|
|
mimeType: McpApps::MIME_TYPE,
|
|
text: file_get_contents(__DIR__.'/app.html'),
|
|
meta: ['ui' => new UiResourceContentMeta(
|
|
csp: new UiResourceCsp(connectDomains: ['https://api.example.com']),
|
|
permissions: new UiResourcePermissions(geolocation: true),
|
|
prefersBorder: true,
|
|
)],
|
|
),
|
|
'ui://my-app',
|
|
mimeType: McpApps::MIME_TYPE,
|
|
meta: ['ui' => McpApps::resourceMarker()],
|
|
)
|
|
->addTool(
|
|
$myToolHandler,
|
|
'my_tool',
|
|
meta: ['ui' => new UiToolMeta(
|
|
resourceUri: 'ui://my-app',
|
|
visibility: [ToolVisibility::Model, ToolVisibility::App],
|
|
)],
|
|
)
|
|
->build();
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note the two distinct `_meta.ui` shapes: the resource *descriptor* (its
|
|
`resources/list` entry) carries only an empty marker — `McpApps::resourceMarker()` —
|
|
flagging it as an MCP App, while the resource *content* returned by `resources/read`
|
|
carries the structured `UiResourceContentMeta` with the actual CSP and permission
|
|
configuration.
|
|
|
|
### Server-side DTOs
|
|
|
|
| Class | Purpose |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `McpApps` | Extension marker; provides `EXTENSION_ID`, `MIME_TYPE`, `URI_SCHEME` constants. |
|
|
| `UiToolMeta` | Tool `_meta.ui` payload: `resourceUri` + `visibility`. |
|
|
| `ToolVisibility` | Enum: `Model`, `App`. |
|
|
| `UiResourceContentMeta` | Resource content `_meta.ui`: `csp`, `permissions`, `domain`, `prefersBorder`. |
|
|
| `UiResourceCsp` | CSP allow-lists: `connectDomains`, `resourceDomains`, `frameDomains`, `baseUriDomains`. |
|
|
| `UiResourcePermissions` | Sandbox permissions: `camera`, `microphone`, `geolocation`, `clipboardWrite`. |
|
|
|
|
### Writing the HTML view
|
|
|
|
The View and host exchange `JSONRPCMessage` **objects** (not JSON strings) via
|
|
`window.parent.postMessage`. Before the host forwards `tools/call`,
|
|
`tool-input`, or `tool-result`, the View must complete the spec-mandated
|
|
handshake:
|
|
|
|
1. View → Host: `ui/initialize` request
|
|
2. Host → View: response with `hostCapabilities`, `hostInfo`, `hostContext`
|
|
3. View → Host: `ui/notifications/initialized`
|
|
4. View → Host: `ui/notifications/size-changed` whenever the iframe wants to
|
|
resize
|
|
|
|
See the [`ext-apps` repository][ext-apps] for the full protocol, official
|
|
TypeScript SDK (`@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps`), and view-side examples. A
|
|
working minimal view is included in
|
|
[`examples/server/mcp-apps/weather-app.html`](../examples/server/mcp-apps/weather-app.html).
