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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00076 | $0.02862 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00038 | $0.01431 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00015 | $0.00572 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00286 |
Grade A, and why
Create MCP App 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 10d ago.
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.
This is a copy
92% identical to create-mcp-app — 6 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 343 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Create MCP App
Build interactive UIs that run inside MCP-enabled hosts like Claude Desktop. An MCP App combines an MCP tool with an HTML resource to display rich, interactive content.
Core Concept: Tool + Resource
Every MCP App requires two parts linked together:
- Tool - Called by the LLM/host, returns data
- Resource - Serves the bundled HTML UI that displays the data
- Link - The tool's
_meta.ui.resourceUrireferences the resource
Host calls tool → Server returns result → Host renders resource UI → UI receives result
Quick Start Decision Tree
Framework Selection
| Framework | SDK Support | Best For |
|---|---|---|
| React | useApp hook provided |
Teams familiar with React |
| Vanilla JS | Manual lifecycle | Simple apps, no build complexity |
| Vue/Svelte/Preact/Solid | Manual lifecycle | Framework preference |
Project Context
Adding to existing MCP server:
- Import
registerAppTool,registerAppResourcefrom SDK - Add tool registration with
_meta.ui.resourceUri - Add resource registration serving bundled HTML
Creating new MCP server:
- Set up server with transport (stdio or HTTP)
- Register tools and resources
- Configure build system with
vite-plugin-singlefile

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.

Create MCP App is a skill published in the GitHub repository elbruno/mcpapp-colorpicker (13 stars, last pushed 5mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 76 tokens to every session and 2,862 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 92% identical to create-mcp-app, differing in 6 lines, and is treated as a copy.
