posthog-foss: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/implementing-mcp-ui-apps/SKILL.md

implementing-mcp-ui-apps is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from PostHog/posthog-foss. It costs 63 tokens per session (3,480 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for building interactive React screens that display the results of MCP tools inside compatible chat applications. MCP is a standard way for AI clients to call external tools.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create view components, configure them in YAML, connect them to MCP tools, and generate and build the resulting UI apps.
Why use it?
It helps replace hard-to-read plain text or JSON with tables, charts, detail pages, and status indicators when structured results need a visual layout.

This is PostHog/posthog-foss's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on posthog-foss itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything posthog-foss configures →

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

implementing-mcp-ui-apps 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.

Implementing MCP UI apps

MCP UI apps are interactive React visualizations that render alongside tool results in MCP clients (e.g. Claude Desktop). They're built with the Mosaic component library and served via Cloudflare Workers Static Assets.

Full reference: services/mcp/CONTRIBUTING.md.

Quick workflow

# 1. Create view components in your product's mcp/apps/ directory
#    (see "View components" below)

# 2. Add ui_apps entries to your product's mcp/tools.yaml
#    (see "YAML configuration" below)

# 3. Link tools to apps with ui_app: <key> in the tools section

# 4. Generate entry points + registry, then build
pnpm --filter=@posthog/mcp run generate:ui-apps
pnpm --filter=@posthog/mcp run build

When to add a UI app

When an MCP tool returns structured data that benefits from visual presentation — tables, detail views, charts, status badges, etc. Without a UI app, tool results are shown as plain text/JSON in the chat.
