mcp-apps-ui

mcp-apps-ui is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from carsxe/carsxe-mcp-server. It costs 44 tokens per session (211 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A set of interface tools that turns CarsXE vehicle data into cards shown in ChatGPT or other MCP hosts. It supports cards for vehicle specifications, market value, and recalls after the matching data has been fetched.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to display a vehicle's specifications, estimated market value, or safety recalls in a chat interface.
Why use it?
It avoids building a separate display for each kind of vehicle result. Keeping data retrieval separate from rendering also makes the required tool sequence clear.

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

mcp-apps-ui scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured yesterday.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

MCP Apps UI (data → render)

Do not attach a widget to fetch tools. Call the data tool first, then the matching render tool.

Data tool Render tool UI resource
get_vehicle_specs render_vehicle_card ui://carsxe/vehicle-card.html
get_market_value render_market_value ui://carsxe/market-value.html
get_vehicle_recalls render_recalls ui://carsxe/recalls.html

Pass the data tool's structuredContent fields into the render tool. Auth stays API key / OAuth. Preview mock cards with npm run preview:ui and open previews/*.html.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
