### MCP Apps (SEP-1865)
MCP Apps is a Final extension (negotiated via the Capability Extensions mechanism above) that lets a server ship interactive
HTML user interfaces which the host renders for tool results. On the server side the extension is a thin convention,
and `MCP::Apps` provides the vocabulary and helpers:
```ruby
capabilities = MCP::Server::Capabilities.new
capabilities.support_tools
capabilities.support_resources
capabilities.support_extensions(MCP::Apps.capability) # { "io.modelcontextprotocol/ui" => { mimeTypes: [...] } }
server = MCP::Server.new(
name: "weather_server",
capabilities: capabilities,
# UI templates are ordinary resources with a `ui://` URI and the `text/html;profile=mcp-app` MIME type.
resources: [MCP::Apps.ui_resource(uri: "ui://weather-server/dashboard", name: "weather_dashboard")],
)
server.resources_read_handler do |params|
[{ uri: params[:uri], mimeType: MCP::Apps::RESOURCE_MIME_TYPE, text: "<html>...</html>" }]
end
# Link the tool to its template via `_meta.ui.resourceUri` (pass `legacy: true` to also
# emit the older flat `"ui/resourceUri"` alias for hosts that predate the Final spec).
server.define_tool(
name: "get_weather",
meta: MCP::Apps.tool_meta(resource_uri: "ui://weather-server/dashboard"),
) do |server_context:|
# The extension is optional: always return a meaningful text result, and use
# `MCP::Apps.client_supports?` when UI-capable clients should get richer structured content.
MCP::Apps.client_supports?(server.client_capabilities) # => true when the host declared the extension
MCP::Tool::Response.new([{ type: "text", text: "Sunny, 22 degrees Celsius" }])
end
```
Everything else the extension defines (the sandboxed iframe, the `ui/*` postMessage bridge, consent for UI-initiated actions)
is the HOST's responsibility; a server only ever receives ordinary `resources/read` and `tools/call` requests.
See the [MCP Apps specification](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/blob/main/specification/2026-01-26/apps.mdx).

# Server-side helpers for the MCP Apps extension (SEP-1865, Extensions Track, Final):
# interactive user interfaces delivered as `ui://` HTML template resources that hosts
# render for tool results. The extension is negotiated per SEP-2133 through
# `capabilities.extensions` on both sides; a server declares {EXTENSION_ID}, registers
# UI templates as ordinary resources, and links tools to templates via `_meta`.
#
# Everything else defined by the extension (the sandboxed iframe, the `ui/*`
# postMessage bridge methods, consent for UI-initiated calls) is HOST responsibility:
# a server only ever receives ordinary `resources/read` and `tools/call` requests.

# Because the extension is optional, a UI-enabled tool MUST still return a meaningful
# text-only result for clients that did not declare the capability;
# use {Apps.client_supports?} to branch.
