Zod schemas flow from tools to structured results, View props, and tool calls.
Bind React Views directly to tools and ship interactive apps without custom extension wiring.
Scaffold, invoke, inspect, screenshot, and deploy through your agent.
Inspect tools and Views in the browser or headlessly through the CLI.
The scaffold gives you the server, TypeScript configuration, development scripts, Inspector, and a React view pipeline. Start it once and the MCP endpoint also serves a client-ready landing page with its connection URL and setup instructions.
Replace itsindex.tswith a view-bound tool like this:
import { MCPServer } from "mcp-use"; import { z } from "zod"; const server = new MCPServer({ name: "weather-app", title: "Weather App", version: "1.0.0", }); const weatherInput = z.object({ city: z.string().describe("City to look up"), }); const weatherOutput = z.object({ city: z.string(), temperature: z.number(), conditions: z.string(), }); export const getWeather = server.tool( { name: "get-weather", title: "Get weather", description: "Get the current weather for a city", inputSchema: weatherInput, outputSchema: weatherOutput, view: { name: "weather-card" }, annotations: { readOnlyHint: true, destructiveHint: false, openWorldHint: true, }, }, async ({ city }) => { const weather = { city, temperature: 22, conditions: "Sunny", }; return { content: [ { type: "text", text: Weather in ${city}: ${weather.conditions}, ${weather.temperature}°C, }, ], structuredContent: weather, }; }, ); export default server;
Createviews/weather-card/view.tsx. The directory name matchesview.nameon the tool:
import { useCallTool, useToolContext } from "mcp-use/react"; export default function WeatherCard() { const { status, toolOutput, toolInput } = useToolContext<"get-weather">(); const refresh = useCallTool("get-weather"); if (status === "pending") { return <p>Checking the weather in {toolInput?.city ?? "your city"}…</p>; } if (status === "error") return <p>Could not load the weather.</p>; const weather = refresh.data?.structuredContent ?? toolOutput; return ( <main style={{ padding: 24 }}> <h2>{weather.city}</h2> <p> {weather.temperature}°C · {weather.conditions} </p> <button disabled={refresh.isPending} onClick={() => void refresh.callTool({ city: weather.city })} > {refresh.isPending ? "Refreshing…" : "Refresh"} </button> {refresh.error && <p>{refresh.error.message}</p>} </main> ); }
Build interactive UI experiences within ChatGPT with mcp-use.
Start development mode to serve the MCP endpoint athttp://localhost:3000/mcp. The Inspector is automatically available athttp://localhost:3000/mcp/inspector:
Invoke tools, validate inputs, and inspect interactive Views in the same development loop.
Start a tunnel from the Inspector UI or runmcp-use dev --tunnelto get a public URL for your local MCP server and test it with ChatGPT and Claude before deployment.Learn more about tunneling →
Inspect the same server headlessly from the terminal, invoke representative tools, and capture a View screenshot:
npm install --save-dev @mcp-use/client npx mcp-use client connect local http://localhost:3000/mcp npx mcp-use client local tools list npx mcp-use client local tools call get-weather city=Tokyo npx mcp-use screenshot \ --server local \ --tool get-weather \ city=Tokyo \ --output weather-card.png

mcp-use builds on the official TypeScript SDK v2 and adds first-class Views, typed tool-to-UI contracts, an optimized stateless runtime, the Inspector, screenshot verification, agent-first CLI workflows, and deployment.

This is a web browser that enables your coding agent, such as Claude Code, to visit websites on your behalf and assist you in identifying bugs or creating UI test cases.
a complete and intuitive SDK for building MCP Servers, MCP Agents, and LLM integrations (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini) with minimal effort. It abstracts all the complexity of the MCP protocol, provides an intelligent agent with automatic model routing, and includes a universal client for external APIs all through a single, simple, and powerful interface. Perfect for chatbots, enterprise automation, internal system integrations, and rapid development of MCP-based ecosystems.
Arbitrary code execution and tool-use platform for LLMs by Riza
Agent-native developer Q&A API with MCP + A2A endpoints for citations, job pickup, and answer submission.
MCP bridge that lets Claude Code delegate heavy tasks to the Antigravity CLI (agy) — purpose-built tools, model routing with fallback, session continuity, and output truncation to save Claude's context and tokens.
An AI agent using the Model Context Protocol (MCP) with a Node.js server providing REST resources for users and messages.
Local agent workbench bundling OpenHands, Goose, Aider, and ashlrcode against one local LLM, with ashlr-plugin MCP servers pre-wired.
Open-source, self-hosted AI gateway with built-in MCP client and server support for connecting MCP tools to AI applications.
Search 15,000+ AI tools, check agent-compatibility scores, find alternatives, and audit dependencies before calling any external API or MCP.
A collection of MCP servers that provide cognitive enhancement tools for large language models.
Transforms linear AI reasoning into structured, auditable thought graphs, enabling language models to externalize their reasoning process as a directed acyclic graph (DAG).
