Widget MCP
Adds interactive widgets to LLM chats for common tasks like timers, stopwatches, unit conversions, and displaying facts. Breaks away from text-only interfaces by providing visual, interactive components similar to Google's search result widgets.

Motivation
MCP-UI opens the door to breaking the text wall from chat UIs we've been using the last few years. The full extent of what's possible is
This project shows the floor of what's possible by providing a few simple widgets for common situations.
If you've ever google "convert X to Y" or "2 minute timer" and see the custom UI results, this should feel very familiar.
Current widgets
Timer- Editable timer with a chime.Stopwatch- Timer that just counts up.Conversion- Convert between set of units for which the LLM can write a formula.Display Fact- When the answer is simple, just show it in an easy to read card.
Supported MCP Clients
MCP-UI is new and as of August 2025 is only supported by a few clients.

Requests for widgets
Here's a few examples of widgets that could be fun to add.
- Color Picker - Interactive color selection and palette tools. Could be parameterized to allow the LLM to suggest a color and let the user tweak and explore.
- Calculator - Basic and scientific calculator functionality. Initial function seeded by LLM.
- Dice Roller - Custom set of dice based on what you ask the agent for.
I'm sure you have some cool ideas!
