Featured

Enable, operate, and extend CAO's MCP Apps surface — the host-rendered fleet dashboard visible inside MCP App hosts (Claude Desktop, ChatGPT, VS Code Copilot, Goose, Postman). Use when the user says "enable MCP Apps in CAO", "the ui://cao views aren't rendering", "rebuild MCP Apps bundles", "add a new ui://cao/* view", or "configure the MCP Apps OAuth scope layer". Operates on the CAO_MCP_APPS_ENABLED surface and cao_mcp_apps/ build system. Not for the localhost:9889 browser dashboard, not for plugins, providers, or session management.
