LLMs control live HTML UIs via function calls — no build step, any HTML becomes a MUP.

Strengths
  • •Protocol spec is ~400 lines — any HTML with JSON manifest becomes a controllable MUP
  • •Demo shows Claude building presentations with charts then writing playable games live
  • •Runs as MCP server integrating directly with Claude Code without framework lock-in
Weaknesses
  • •Early stage — demo is impressive but real-world adoption and edge cases untested
  • •Depends on MCP ecosystem adoption which is still emerging in the AI tooling space

Post Description

MUP (Model UI Protocol) gives LLMs interactive UI panels in the browser. The LLM controls them via function calls; the user interacts with them directly. Both sides see each other's actions in real time.

In the demo video, Claude narrates via TTS while simultaneously building an 8-slide presentation — with auto-generated charts, comparison tables, and live theme switching. Then it writes a dice roller from scratch (~50 lines of HTML), the server auto-detects it, and Claude rolls dice through it. All in under 6 minutes.

A MUP is just an HTML file. No build step, no framework:

npm install -g mup-mcp-server claude mcp add mup -- npx mup-mcp-server Then say "make me a presentation" in Claude Code.

Built-in MUPs: slides (with chart engine), voice (TTS/STT), chat, progress tracker. Or write your own — any HTML with a JSON manifest becomes a MUP.

It runs as an MCP server. The protocol spec is ~400 lines.

Markdown to Presentation (Marpit + )

The interface is a straightforward split editor: Markdown on the left, slide preview on the right, with theme selection, paginate/YAML toggles and quick export/print actions. It doesn't reinvent slide tooling — it's basically Marpit glued to a tidy web editor — but if you live in Markdown this is a convenient, low-friction way to produce slide decks quickly. I'd like to see clearer export options (PDF/speaker notes) and integrations, but for quick technical talks it does the job.
