Model Context Protocol Ext Apps is a Claude Code plugin that provides the official MCP Apps spec and SDK for embedded chat UIs served by MCP servers.
About
Model Context Protocol Ext Apps is the official Claude Code plugin entry for the MCP Apps protocol—the standard and SDK for embedding interactive UIs in AI chatbots while those interfaces are served by MCP servers. developers shipping agent-first products often need more than text tools: dashboards, forms, and previews inside the conversation. This bundle points you at the canonical spec and creation path rather than a one-off iframe hack. Catalog keywords highlight apps, creating, mcp, and skills. Expect intermediate familiarity with MCP servers, frontend assets, and how your host client loads ext-apps. It is a protocol and SDK focus, not a hosted UI marketplace. Pair it with your backend MCP tools when you are building integrated agent experiences during the product build phase.
