🎓 Learning objectives

  • Scaffold a new MCP server project using mcp-use's create-mcp-use-app generator
  • Declaratively expose tools, resources, prompts, sampling, elicitation, and notifications on a server
  • Use the MCP Inspector to test and debug a server's capabilities before connecting it to an agent
  • Explain what MCP-UI and OpenAI's Apps SDK each add for servers that need visual widgets
  • Explain why tunneling is needed to expose a local development server to external clients
