Token cost

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

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 8d 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.

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:

  1. Tool - Called by the LLM/host, returns data
  2. Resource - Serves the bundled HTML UI that displays the data
  3. Link - The tool's _meta.ui.resourceUri references 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, registerAppResource from 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

Getting Reference Code

Clone the SDK repository for working examples and API documentation:

git clone --branch "v$(npm view @modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps version)" --depth 1 https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps.git /tmp/mcp-ext-apps

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.
