The Model Context Protocol (MCP) SDK provides the standardized framework for building secure, interoperable tools that connect LLMs to local and remote data sources.

The MCP Apps SDK (specifically the TypeScript and Python implementations) enables developers to build servers that expose data and tools to AI agents like Claude Desktop. By implementing a standardized JSON-RPC 2.0 transport layer, the SDK handles the heavy lifting of resource discovery, tool execution, and prompt management. It allows developers to turn any API or database (such as PostgreSQL, Google Drive, or Slack) into a structured context provider that LLMs can query safely. This architecture eliminates the need for custom integrations for every new AI model, providing a single protocol for universal tool interoperability.

## Recent Public Talks and Demos

### [MCP Apps: Shipping Interactive UIs with a Translation Server](https://cologne.aitinkerers.org/talks/rsvp_WllqXAqGhlM)

Four live demos adding interactive Views to a production MCP server using ext-apps. Demo 1: side-by-side translation diff with glossary term highlighting and model quality comparison. Demo 2: D3 force-directed network graph exploring 10k+ glossary terms across 30 languages. Demo 3: inline glossary marketplace -- browse, preview, one-click install. Demo 4: drop a product photo, Gemini OCR extracts text, DeepL translates it, Imagen 3 regenerates the image with culturally adapted people and scenery. All rendering inline in the chat, all calling back to the server from the iframe.
