I know it’s in active discussion on GH, but I wish clients would solve (non-text) UIs from MCP servers rather soon. It would 10x the power of these chat extensions.

can you give an example of what you're talking about? do you mean not having a "chatbot" UI and instead sending a camera feed to your mcp client or something?
Here's someone experimenting with what I mean: https://github.com/idosal/mcp-ui
Is this sort of like how, when iPhone touch-screen came out, it allowed for dynamic regeneration of UI for each specific app instead of "hard coding" hardware inputs/buttons as the one interface to all apps? So here, AI can dynamically generate a context-dependent UI on the fly that can be interacted with, influenced by user input, API reponses etc?
