The Model Context Protocol just got a major upgrade. MCP Apps (SEP-1865) is a new extension that lets MCP servers deliver interactive user interfaces directly to AI applications like Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor.

This isn't just about pretty visuals. It's about giving your AI tools the ability to show data in ways that actually make sense—charts, tables, dashboards, forms—while maintaining the security and auditability that MCP was built on.

There's a better way to organize MCP servers that solves the context rot problem plaguing AI workflows everywhere.

Most "MCP integrations" ship as thin wrappers over existing REST endpoints because it's the fastest way to get something working, but that convenience often fights how agents actually reason and act. If you want MCP that agents can use reliably, design it like an action‑oriented RPC interface rather than a collection of CRUD‑style endpoints.

I watched Claude hallucinate API endpoints that didn't exist, confidently call made-up functions, and crash our systems with broken JSON. Then we implemented the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and our error rate dropped from 28% to under 3%.

This is what I wish someone had told me when I started.
