About Mcpdemos
Mcpdemos is an MCP server published by leestott in the Developer Tools category: mCP Demos - 8 Node.js/TypeScript demos showcasing Model Context Protocol capabilities, from text-only tools to interactive UIs with bidirectional communication.

Graceful Degradation
If a host doesn't support MCP Apps (ui:// resources), all demos fall back to text-only tool interactions. The UI resources are optional enhancements.
