A2UI + MCP Apps: Combining the best of declarative and custom agentic UIs
Under the hood: How it worksTo achieve this hybrid approach, developers define a custom A2UI component that acts as a secure iframe wrapper (referred to as MCP App Component). This generalized wrapper can hold any standard MCP App and provides a bridged channel for the app to communicate with the outside world.Whenever an agent requests, the MCP server transmits the app’s HTML and JavaScript assets to the agent. The agent then embeds the application code within a structured A2UI JSON, integrating it with the specified component parameters.
