+# MCP Apps
+
+An **MCP App** is a tool with a face: alongside its data, the tool points at an HTML
+document the host renders as an interactive surface.
+
+Two parts, always two parts:
+
+1. **A tool** that does the work and returns data, like any other tool.
+2. **A `ui://` resource** containing the HTML the host shows for it.
+
+The tool carries a `_meta.ui.resourceUri` reference to the resource. The host fetches
+it with `resources/read`, renders it in a **sandboxed iframe**, and pushes the tool's
+result into that iframe via `postMessage`. Your server never sends or receives any
+`ui/*` messages: that traffic is between the host and the iframe. You serve a tool
+and an HTML document; the host does the theater.
+
+The SDK ships this as the built-in `Apps` extension (`io.modelcontextprotocol/ui`).
+If [Extensions](extensions.md) are new to you, skim that page first. One minute,
+then come back.
+
+## A clock with a face
+
+```python title="server.py" hl_lines="18 21 29 31"
+--8<-- "docs_src/apps/tutorial001.py"
+```
+
+Four moves:
+
+* `Apps()`: one instance holds your UI-bound tools and their resources.
+* `@apps.tool(resource_uri="ui://clock/app.html")`: a regular tool, plus the
+  `_meta.ui.resourceUri` stamp. Everything `@mcp.tool()` accepts (name, title,
+  description, ...) passes through.
+* `apps.add_html_resource("ui://clock/app.html", CLOCK_HTML)`: the matching
+  resource, served as `text/html;profile=mcp-app`. That exact MIME type is what
+  tells a host "this is an app, render it".
+* `MCPServer("clock", extensions=[apps])`: opt in. The server now advertises
+  `io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` under `capabilities.extensions`.
+
+The HTML itself listens for the host's `postMessage` and shows the result. For real
+apps, use the official [`@modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps`](https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps)
+browser SDK inside your HTML. It gives you `ontoolresult`, `callServerTool`,
+`getHostContext`, and `onhostcontextchanged` instead of raw message events.
+
+## Graceful degradation
+
+Not every client renders apps. The spec is blunt about what that means for you:
+
+> Tools **MUST** return a meaningful `content` array even when UI is available.
+
+The model reads `content`; the iframe is for humans. A UI-capable host still feeds
+the text result to the model, and a text-only client gets *only* that. So the
+canonical pattern is one tool, two answers. Look at `get_time` again:
+
+```python title="server.py" hl_lines="22-26"
+--8<-- "docs_src/apps/tutorial001.py"
+```
+
+`client_supports_apps(ctx)` is `True` only when the client declared the
+`io.modelcontextprotocol/ui` extension **and** listed `text/html;profile=mcp-app`
+in its `mimeTypes` settings. The field is required, so a client that omits it
+does not count. That is exactly what `main()` in the same file declares: the
+client half of the negotiation, and the rich answer comes back.
+
+!!! warning
+    Never return a placeholder like `"[Rendered UI]"` as the only content. If the
+    fallback text is useless, the tool is useless to every text-only client and to
+    the model itself. Write the sentence.
+
+## Locking the iframe down
+
+The resource side carries the security metadata: what the iframe may load, which
+browser permissions it wants, how it would like to be framed:
+
+```python title="server.py" hl_lines="9 19-22"
+--8<-- "docs_src/apps/tutorial002.py"
+```
+
+`csp` and `permissions` are **requests to the host**, not server behaviour. The host
+builds the iframe's Content-Security-Policy and Permissions-Policy from them, and it
+may refuse. Feature-detect in your JS rather than assuming a grant.
+
+`ResourceCsp`, field by field (Python name, wire key, what the host does with it):
+
+| Python | Wire (`_meta.ui.csp`) | Controls |
+|---|---|---|
+| `connect_domains` | `connectDomains` | `connect-src`: where `fetch`/XHR may go |
+| `resource_domains` | `resourceDomains` | `img-src`, `style-src`, ...: static assets |
+| `frame_domains` | `frameDomains` | `frame-src`: nested iframes |
+| `base_uri_domains` | `baseUriDomains` | `base-uri`: what `<base>` may point at |
+
+`ResourcePermissions`: each field requests a browser permission for the iframe.
+
+| Python | Wire (`_meta.ui.permissions`) |
+|---|---|
+| `camera` | `camera` |
+| `microphone` | `microphone` |
+| `geolocation` | `geolocation` |
+| `clipboard_write` | `clipboardWrite` |
+
+!!! note
+    CSP and permissions live on the **resource**, never on the tool. The spec's tool
+    metadata has no slot for them, and hosts ignore them there. The SDK makes the
+    mistake unrepresentable: `@apps.tool()` simply has no `csp` parameter.
+
+### Visibility
+
+`visibility=["app"]` on a tool says "this exists for the iframe, not the model":
+
+* `"model"`: the model may call it.
+* `"app"`: the iframe may call it (via `callServerTool`).
+* Omitted: both, which is the default.
+
+Filtering is the **host's** job. Your server lists app-only tools in `tools/list`
+like any other; the host hides them from the model. Don't filter server-side.
+
+## The rules the SDK enforces
+
+All of these fail at startup, not in production:
+
+* A `resource_uri` or resource URI that isn't `ui://...` is a `ValueError` at
+  decoration/registration time.
+* A tool bound to a URI with **no matching registered resource** is a `ValueError`
+  when `MCPServer(extensions=[apps])` consumes the extension. A tool advertising
+  HTML that 404s on `resources/read` is a misconfiguration, so it refuses to
+  construct.
+* `meta={"ui": ...}` on `@apps.tool()` is a `ValueError`. The decorator owns
+  `_meta["ui"]`; say it with `resource_uri=` and `visibility=`. Other `meta=` keys
+  merge fine alongside.
+
+Neither the TypeScript ext-apps SDK nor FastMCP catches any of these today; we'd
+rather you find out before a host does.
+
+## Beyond inline HTML
+
+`add_html_resource` covers the common case: a string of HTML. For anything else,
+HTML on disk or generated content, build the resource yourself and hand it over:
+
+```python title="server.py" hl_lines="12 18"
+--8<-- "docs_src/apps/tutorial003.py"
+```
+
+`add_resource` fills in the `text/html;profile=mcp-app` MIME type when the resource
+doesn't set one explicitly, and rejects an explicit mismatch: a `ui://` resource
+under any other MIME type is one no host will render.
+
+!!! tip
+    Targeting a pre-GA host that still reads the deprecated flat
+    `_meta["ui/resourceUri"]` key? Merge it yourself:
+    `@apps.tool(resource_uri="ui://x", meta={"ui/resourceUri": "ui://x"})`.
+    The nested `ui` object is the spec shape; the flat key is on its way out.
+
+## See it run
+
+The `apps` story in `examples/stories/` is this page as a runnable pair: a server
+with a UI-bound clock tool and a client that negotiates Apps, reads the tool's
+`_meta.ui.resourceUri`, fetches the HTML, and calls the tool.
+
+```bash
+uv run python -m stories.apps.client
+```
