mcpbundles-app-ui

Python library for building MCP App UIs. Define an app declaratively in Python, get self-contained HTML with built-in MCP protocol support and interactive charts.

Installation

pip install mcpbundles-app-ui

Quick Start

from mcpbundles_app_ui import App, LightTheme, Stats, Stat, Card

class MyApp(App):
    name = "My App"
    subtitle = "Analytics overview"
    theme = LightTheme(accent="#3b82f6")

    layout = [
        Stats(
            Stat("preview.total", "Total", primary=True),
            Stat("preview.thisWeek", "This Week"),
        ),
        Card(title="Select an option to explore"),
    ]

# Generate self-contained HTML
html = MyApp().render()

Features

  • Declarative components: Stats, Stat, Card, Grid, Chart.bar(), BarList, RecentList, and more
  • Theme system: LightTheme and DarkTheme with customizable accent colors, fonts, and all design tokens
  • Interactive charts: Built-in canvas chart engine (18 chart types, CSP-safe, zero dependencies) with declarative Python components
  • MCP protocol client: Built-in JavaScript for initializeMCP(), callTool(), sendMessage(), askAI()
  • Navigation: Breadcrumb system with setBreadcrumbs(), pushBreadcrumb(), popBreadcrumb()
  • Loading states: showLoading(), hideLoading(), withLoading(), paginateAll()
  • Export utilities: copyToClipboard(), toCSV(), exportAsCSV()
  • Toast notifications: showToast() for success/error feedback
  • Path-based assets: custom_head and custom_scripts accept Path objects for file-based CSS/JS
  • Zero Python dependencies: Only stdlib. Produces standalone HTML with all CSS/JS inline.

Charts

Charts are defined declaratively in your Python layout using Chart factory methods:

from mcpbundles_app_ui import Chart, Grid

layout = [
    Grid(cols=2)(
        Chart.bar("data.byMonth", title="Monthly Revenue"),
        Chart.comparison("data.thisWeek", "data.lastWeek", title="Week over Week"),
    ),
    Chart.funnel("data.pipeline", title="Sales Pipeline"),
    Chart.distribution("data.byCategory", title="Category Breakdown"),
]

The library includes two rendering engines:

  • Chart engine — 18 canvas chart types (candlestick, line, area, bar, column, dual axes, scatter, pie, treemap, radar, histogram, heatmap, funnel, table, and 4 card types). Used by chart-driven apps where the user controls views via dropdowns and selectors.
  • Tabbed engine — Multi-tool apps where each tab calls a different MCP tool. Charts render within tab content areas with a shared period toolbar.

Charts automatically use the app's theme colors (--chart-1 through --chart-6).

Components

Component Description
App Base class for app definitions
Stats Row of statistic cards
Stat Single statistic with data binding
Card Container with optional title
Grid Grid layout (2-4 columns)
Section Named section with header and subtitle
Chart.bar() Bar chart with data binding
Chart.comparison() Side-by-side comparison of two values
Chart.funnel() Pipeline/funnel stage chart
Chart.distribution() Distribution breakdown by category
ListPicker List selection component with callback
BarList Horizontal bar ranking list
RecentList Recent items list
StageList Pipeline stage list with bars
Raw Escape hatch for custom HTML
CustomScript Inject custom JavaScript

Themes

from mcpbundles_app_ui import LightTheme, DarkTheme

# Custom accent color
theme = LightTheme(accent="#8b5cf6")

# Custom fonts
theme = LightTheme(
    accent="#3b82f6",
    font_family="'Inter', system-ui, sans-serif",
    font_url="https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Inter:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap",
)

File-Based Assets

Load CSS/JS from files instead of inline strings:

from pathlib import Path
from mcpbundles_app_ui import App, LightTheme

class MyApp(App):
    name = "My App"
    theme = LightTheme()
    custom_head = Path(__file__).parent / "assets/styles.html"
    custom_scripts = Path(__file__).parent / "assets/app.js"
