Why we included this project

MCP servers that only return plain text or JSON hit a wall when a user wants something interactive mid-conversation. This project extends the Model Context Protocol so a tool can serve a ui:// resource with an HTML interface, which a compliant client renders in a sandboxed iframe while keeping two-way communication with the running tool. The repository holds the formal specification, an npm SDK with React hooks, and bridge helpers for the host side, plus working examples such as a Cesium map, a Three.js scene, and sheet-music rendering. Teams running MCP servers that need richer interactions, and developers building chat clients that embed these views, will find direct value here. It is a shared standard rather than a one-off integration, so adopting it now avoids rebuilding UI plumbing for each client.
