Create an MCP app

Build, register, and display user interfaces along with your tool's logic with MCP apps. This allows you to implement and manage interactive interfaces for your tools that can be displayed by MCP clients.

Before you begin

Role required: sn_mcp_server.tools_admin (for configuration)

About this task

Create an MCP app and enable MCP tools to deliver interactive user interfaces to hosts. It defines how tools declare UI resources, that hosts render securely in iframes, and how the two communicate.
