MCP Apps just dropped (OpenAI and Anthropic collab) and I think this is huge (modelcontextprotocol.io)

Looks like OpenAI, Anthropic, and the MCP-UI team actually worked together on a common standard for MCP Apps: https://blog.modelcontextprotocol.io/posts/2025-11-21-mcp-ap...

Honestly, I think the biggest friction for MCP adoption has been how un-userfriendly it is. It’s great for devs, but not the average users. Users don't always want to chat, sometimes they just want to click a button or adjust a slider. This feels like the answer to that problem.

Full disclosure, I'm partial here because of our work at https://usefractal.dev. We were early adopters when MCP first came out, but we always felt like something was missing. We kept wishing for a UI layer on top, and everyone says it's gonna take forever for the industry to adopt, maybe months, maybe years.

I cannot believe the adoption comes so quickly. I think this is gonna be huge. What do you guys think?
