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.

When OpenAI integrated support for Anthropic's Model Context Protocol (MCP) into ChatGPT's deep research feature, they documented something elegant: a two-tool pattern that gives AI agents a consistent way to engage with any data source. If your MCP server implements search and fetch with their specific signatures, ChatGPT knows exactly how to explore your data without custom integration code.

Both tools accept only a single string parameter. That constraint isn't a limitation—it's what makes the pattern universal.
