MCP Apps registry audit finds 5.5% of servers have broken interfaces

A recent audit of the MCP Registry revealed that 5.5% of registered servers, totaling 869, are serving MCP Apps, which allow tools to present interactive interfaces within conversations. However, a significant portion of these Apps, 68 in total, have broken requirements according to the MCP Apps specification. The most frequent issue, affecting 25 servers, is the provision of HTML fragments instead of complete HTML documents, while other problems include using outdated MIME types or pointing to non-existent resources.
