mcpbundles-app-ui

Python library for building MCP App UIs. Define an app declaratively in Python, get self-contained HTML with built-in MCP protocol support and interactive charts.

Installation

pip install mcpbundles-app-ui

Quick Start

from mcpbundles_app_ui import App, LightTheme, Stats, Stat, Card

class MyApp(App):
    name = "My App"
    subtitle = "Analytics overview"
    theme = LightTheme(accent="#3b82f6")

    layout = [
        Stats(
            Stat("preview.total", "Total", primary=True),
            Stat("preview.thisWeek", "This Week"),
        ),
        Card(title="Select an option to explore"),
    ]

# Generate self-contained HTML
html = MyApp().render()

Features

• Declarative components: Stats, Stat, Card, Grid, Chart.bar(), BarList, RecentList, and more
• Theme system: LightTheme and DarkTheme with customizable accent colors, fonts, and all design tokens
• Interactive charts: Built-in Frappe Charts (SVG, CSP-safe, zero dependencies) — bar, line, pie, donut, percentage, heatmap
• MCP protocol client: Built-in JavaScript for initializeMCP(), callTool(), sendMessage(), askAI()
• Navigation: Breadcrumb system with setBreadcrumbs(), pushBreadcrumb(), popBreadcrumb()
• Loading states: showLoading(), hideLoading(), withLoading(), paginateAll()
• Export utilities: copyToClipboard(), toCSV(), exportAsCSV()
• Toast notifications: showToast() for success/error feedback
• Path-based assets: custom_head and custom_scripts accept Path objects for file-based CSS/JS
• Zero Python dependencies: Only stdlib. Produces standalone HTML with all CSS/JS inline.

Charts

Built-in Frappe Charts provides real interactive SVG charts. Available globally in custom_scripts:

// Bar chart
renderBarChart('container-id', ['Mon', 'Tue', 'Wed'], [10, 20, 15]);

// Line chart with area fill
renderLineChart('container-id', ['Jan', 'Feb', 'Mar'], [100, 150, 130]);

// Pie chart
renderPieChart('container-id', ['Chrome', 'Firefox', 'Safari'], [60, 25, 15]);

// Donut chart
renderPieChart('container-id', labels, values, { donut: true });

// Percentage chart (horizontal stacked bar)
renderPercentageChart('container-id', labels, values);

// Full control
renderChart('container-id', {
  type: 'bar',
  data: {
    labels: ['Q1', 'Q2', 'Q3', 'Q4'],
    datasets: [
      { name: 'Revenue', values: [100, 200, 150, 300] },
      { name: 'Costs', values: [80, 150, 120, 200] }
    ]
  },
  colors: ['#3b82f6', '#ef4444'],
  height: 300,
  barOptions: { stacked: true }
});

// Update existing chart data
updateChart('container-id', newData);

Charts automatically use the app's theme colors (--chart-1 through --chart-6).

from pathlib import Path
from mcpbundles_app_ui import App, LightTheme

class MyApp(App):
    name = "My App"
    theme = LightTheme()
    custom_head = Path(__file__).parent / "assets/styles.html"
