Thanks for the demo link, regarding the kendo and mcp-ui integration, would you be able to like just provide a bunch a components (like providing a UI library with Kendo) as a mcp-ui server and then build interactive components from the host messages?

Yes, that's why this UI + MCP seems crazy to me as well. This is really impressive anf the fact that shopify has already built agentic commerce on top of it is so nice

Like imagine building a whole elearning course with mcp-ui and you just provide the mcp server link so you people could run their learning through any chatobot 🤩

Yes, but since it is done through an iframe, I'm not sure about the security stuff. This is quite new, it will probably change in the future

good question! I don't really know to be honest. I've seen something like a ui library provided through the createUIResource api in the mcp-ui examples but I haven't tried it yet.

wow !! 🤩
Can I really render whatever I want ? Like can I create a youtube mcp ui tool so my chat bot can render specific videos ?

100% since you can basically render an iframe, the limit is your creativity.

Insane! I don’t understand everything about map servers but seeing react components in chatbots is crazy

This is insane to be honest, what's crazy is to think that in the near future, most websites will be more or less useless. You provide an MCP server that offers tools enabling chatbots such as ChatGPT to display parts of your website directly in conversations and interact with them! Are we aware of this? In any case, you've shown some very impressive innovation here, well done. Much like a website provides an API, it will now be able to provide parts of the interface directly through the MCP protocol. 🔥

Hello, not at all, I haven't seen that project and it is not related at all. My project is an integration with mcp-ui.

The project you just shared is an AI chatbot for pair programming. There is clearly no connection with my project at all, which is the development of an mcp-ui server that is providing Kendo interactive component that can be consume by any mcp-ui compatible chatbot (nanobot, librechat, goose).
