What

Adds MCP Apps support on the agent: advertise the UI extension to MCP servers, attach mcpApp on tool results for Template UI, and expose host proxy APIs for app resources/read and tools/call.

Fixes #203

How

  • On MCP initialize, advertise io.modelcontextprotocol/ui with mimeTypes: ["text/html;profile=mcp-app"].
  • Filter model tool list by _meta.ui.visibility; stamp mcp_app on results (including when LangChain conversion fails but raw MCP result was captured).
  • Request-scoped host proxy (mcp_host + routes): read UI resources, list tools/resources, call tools only when visibility includes app.
  • Docs/config notes for enabling with Template UI (frame_src / features.mcp_apps on the UI side).

Testing

  • Unit tests added/updated (test_mcp_apps, test_mcp_host, smoke, serialization)
  • Ran locally (make test)
  • Manual verification:
    • Pair with Template UI MCP Apps host; call a UI tool and confirm mcpApp on the stream + proxy read/call work

Rollback

Revert the commit.

Checklist

  • PR title follows Conventional Commits (feat:, fix:, ci:, etc.)
  • No secrets, credentials, or PII in the diff
  • No breaking changes (or documented above with a migration path)
    • Additive APIs and capability advertising; non-Apps MCP servers unchanged
  • Pre-commit hooks pass (uv run pre-commit run --all-files)

Walkthrough

The change adds MCP Apps capability advertisement, UI metadata handling, tool visibility filtering, raw result capture, and MCP server annotations. It adds authenticated host proxy operations and routes for MCP tools and resources. Tool message serialization preserves MCP App data and artifacts. Configuration and startup enable the capability. Unit and smoke tests cover the integration.

Inline comments:
In `@deep_agent/aegra/mcp_host.py`:
- Around line 119-129: Update _find_mcp_tool to enforce a maximum number of
pagination requests while following page.nextCursor, returning None once the
bound is reached; preserve the existing tool lookup and normal termination
behavior.
- Around line 100-116: Update mcp_session to apply the configured deadline from
entry.get("timeout", 30) around the client session context and yielded session
operations, ensuring remote MCP calls cannot block the request indefinitely
while preserving normal session behavior within the timeout.

In `@deep_agent/aegra/serialization.py`:
- Around line 54-56: Update the serialization/deserialization flow around
_safe_serialize and the message-type branches so additional_kwargs remains
round-trip safe: either serialize it only for ToolMessage instances, or restore
it in every corresponding deserialization branch. Preserve existing
additional_kwargs values for non-tool messages and avoid emitting data that no
branch can reconstruct.
- Around line 85-89: Update the additional_kwargs handling in the
deserialization flow so data["mcpApp"] is merged into the existing
additional_kwargs dictionary when it does not already contain the MCP App key,
rather than using an elif that skips the fallback whenever additional_kwargs is
present. Preserve existing additional_kwargs entries and avoid overwriting an
existing MCP App value.

In `@tests/unit/aegra/test_mcp_apps.py`:
- Around line 388-390: Remove the tautological assertion on first in the
affected test; it provides no validation because first is already boolean.
Preserve the surrounding patch-installation test logic and retain only
assertions that verify the intended behavior.

In `@tests/unit/aegra/test_serialization.py`:
- Around line 74-77: Extend the serialization assertions for serialize_message
with a nested mcpApp["result"] value, verifying the expected result is preserved
alongside resourceUri and server.

285-286: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Use settings.MCP_DCR_ENABLED for the encryption-key check because the raw comparison accepts only "true" while pydantic-settings also accepts "1", "t", "y", "yes", and "on", causing startup validation to disagree with the route gate.
