Session Description

AI agents are quickly becoming the new browsers, changing how users consume content and get work done. That shift is increasingly powered by a new generation of agentic apps that don’t just present text but deliver interactive experiences within any MCP host. By standardizing interactive UI on MCP, the MCP Apps official extension (SEP-1865) is poised to become the new agentic app runtime, serving as the backbone of the future and removing adoption obstacles that previously hindered the protocol. Join us to learn more about: The new web - How MCP Apps reshapes the traditional app landscape and transforms the way users interact with the web Deep dive into MCP Apps - - Architecture - Real-world use cases - What's ahead? - Getting started (+community and #mcp-apps-wg) - Future Vision

Synthesis

Synthesized Breakdown

This talk frames MCP Apps as the interactive application runtime for agentic software. Instead of MCP servers returning only structured tool data or text, MCP Apps lets servers return UI views inside MCP hosts so models get actionable context and humans get usable controls. The session connects MCP UI, the MCP Apps extension, SEP-1865, host integration, real-world use cases, and the move from chat responses toward agentic applications. Its practical method is to separate model-operable data from human-operable interface while keeping both inside the same MCP interaction.

Evidence Boundary

This synthesis uses the official schedule plus cached video transcripts. Official AI Engineer World's Fair San Francisco 2026 livestreams and cut videos are primary event video sources for transcript/slide evidence; external, historical, or speaker-matched videos remain supporting context unless manually verified as exact official event recordings.
