First it was MCP-UI ..... now its MCP Apps 👀
Join me as we explore MCP Apps, what they are, how they differ from MCP-UI, and how to turn an existing MCP-UI server into a proper MCP App.
Bonus: if time allows, we’ll try making it compatible with ChatGPT apps.

Is the real AI skill gap coding or orchestration?
This short shows MCP sampling in action, using the Council of Mine MCP server as an example.
One question → nine LLM conversations → one synthesized conclusion.
