Dev team rejects MCP Apps over data discrepancy concerns

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

A development team has decided against adopting the Model Context Protocol (MCP) Apps extension due to concerns about its design, which allows for discrepancies between the information presented to the AI model and what the end-user sees. The MCP Apps specification separates 'content' for the model from 'structuredContent' for the user interface, creating a potential for the model to reason based on one set of data while the user views different, potentially misleading, information.

    One answer, two truths: why we are not building MCP Apps

    <p>We're building a chat over business data. Ask it about revenue, it calls a tool, the tool queries a database, and an answer comes back. Not long ago we sat down to decide how those answers should look. A paragraph of numbers is a bad answer to "how did December go?", and every…
