feat: MCP Apps host support — tool _meta, resources, rich results and tinymcp::ui (#50) - #51
Conversation
McpRemoteTool keeps the server's _meta. McpToolResult gains optional structured_content, meta and embedded resources, all host-facing: no rendering method reads them, so model-facing text is unchanged and the wire form is unchanged when they are absent. Adds McpResource, McpResourceContents and MAX_RESOURCE_BYTES for resources/list and resources/read.
McpClientIdentityConfig gains capabilities, sent as initialize.capabilities. Defaults to an empty object and is left off the wire when empty, so existing configurations serialize unchanged.
McpResultEnvelope (kind mcp_result) carries a call's structured content, _meta, embedded resources and optional McpCallOutcome as host-only metadata. McpCallOutcome::from_metadata reads the outcome from either the envelope or the bare mcp_call shape, so hosts that meter calls through it keep working. Adds Error::ResourceTooLarge and bumps the contract to 1.5.
…urces Both transports send the identity's capabilities at initialize (HTTP builder capabilities(), stdio with_capabilities()), cache listed tools with their _meta (cached_tool), and gain list_resources (paginated, bounded) and read_resource (raw contents, refused above MAX_RESOURCE_BYTES). render_tool_result fills structuredContent, _meta and embedded resource blocks into the host-facing fields; the rendered text is byte-identical.
Connections captures each tool's _meta at connect (tool_meta, tool_metas) and reads resources of a connected server (list_resources, read_resource). McpServerRegistry answers tool_meta from the last listing, honouring its allow and deny lists, and lists and reads resources by server name.
tool_result_for maps a result exactly as tool_result does and attaches an McpResultEnvelope as host-only metadata; McpServerTool uses it. mcp_call_tool attaches the envelope with its McpCallOutcome nested under outcome on an answered call, scrubbing secrets from the server-supplied parts; failed calls keep the bare outcome. McpCallOutcome::from_metadata reads both.
McpUiPresentation, UiLink and LinkClass, UiResource and UiCsp, the widget call policy and rendering choice, and the MCP Apps constants, so every host reads and writes the same tool UI metadata.
Behind the new ui feature: resolve a call's widget template from the tool's _meta, cap the data a presentation carries, validate widget documents, classify links (web, handoff, image, blocked), and decide widget tool calls and rendering. Pure over the call's JSON; caching stays with the host.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThis change adds shared MCP Apps UI types, resource and structured-result handling, and host-facing UI resolution and policy APIs. HTTP and stdio transports support client capabilities and resource operations. Tool results can carry envelopes that preserve host-facing data and call outcomes. ChangesMCP Apps UI support

Explanation
Most changes support issue #50, including implementation, tests, and documentation. However, crates/tinymcp/src/transport/stdio/mod.rs also changes executable resolution to use the effective PATH and adds negotiated protocol-version validation. The summary provides no connection between these production behavior changes and the UI, result, resource, capability, or contract requirements in #50.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win
Trim the tool name in tool_meta before the cache lookup.
is_tool_allowed trims tool internally. cached_tool(tool) then looks up the untrimmed string. call_tool trims first and then uses the trimmed name. So tool_meta("ui", " show_card") passes the permission check but returns None, while a call with the same name works. Trim once at the start of the function to match call_tool.

McpServerTool::execute returns tool_result_for without applying SecretScrubber. The function copies server-controlled structuredContent, _meta, and embedded resource text into ToolResult.metadata. A server can echo a configured credential in these fields, so the host receives the credential in the new metadata. Apply the same credential scrubbing used by the bridge before returning this metadata.

Clone capabilities before moving identity
McpClientInfo::from(identity) consumes identity, so the following field initializer attempts to access a moved value and causes compilation to fail. Clone or extract identity.capabilities before constructing client_info, or otherwise retain the capability value before passing identity to McpClientInfo::from.
Additional security observation

Serialize envelope fields with their MCP wire names
The envelope documents and carries the reply's structuredContent and _meta, but these fields are serialized as structured_content and meta because they have no rename attributes. McpResultEnvelope::to_metadata() therefore emits keys that MCP consumers do not expect, so hosts reading the envelope lose both pieces of host-facing result data. Add the same wire-name renames used by McpToolResult (and retain them on deserialization).

Do not emit a response for the initialized notification
The second scripted exchange corresponds to notifications/initialized, which is a JSON-RPC notification and therefore has no response for the client to read. Emitting an empty line leaves that line in stdout; when tools/list is sent next, the stdio reader can consume the blank line instead of the tools response and fail JSON parsing. Remove this entry and let the subsequent reply correspond to tools/list.

Match one-character handoff schemes
The classifier accepts any scheme whose first character is alphabetic, including a valid one-character scheme such as x://pay, but this regex requires at least two scheme characters because the character class uses {1,31} after the initial character. As a result, extract_links silently omits otherwise allowed handoff URLs. Allow zero additional characters so extraction matches the classifier's accepted scheme grammar.

Propagate capabilities into the initialize request
This adds a public configuration field and documents it as being sent in initialize.capabilities, but the existing McpClientInfo::from conversion copies only name, title, and version. As a result, a host can configure extension capabilities and successfully round-trip them through this config type, yet the transport silently drops them before sending the handshake. Carry the value through the initialize request rather than adding it only to the configuration model.
Additional critique observation
Propagate capabilities into initialize requests
[RULE] unpropagated-config
A configured value such as the documented extensions object is now accepted and retained in McpClientIdentityConfig, but the transport-facing McpClientInfo::from(&identity) path and initialize payload must also carry this field. Without that wiring, transports continue sending their previous capabilities value, so hosts configured to advertise an extension never advertise it on the wire. Update the transport initialization path to read and send this field, and add a test that asserts the configured capabilities appear in the initialize request.

Do not authorize calls from an untrusted read-only hint
annotations comes from the server and readOnlyHint is only an advisory declaration; a malicious or mistaken server can mark a side-effecting tool as read-only.

A resource URI can contain an endpoint credential or other configured secret, and it is consequently copied into host-facing metadata unchanged. Scrub the URI before serializing the envelope.
Additional critique observation
Scrub resource URIs before exposing the envelope
[RULE] secret-leak
McpResourceContents resources can carry secrets in their URI, for example a URI with a token query parameter. This loop scrubs only text and meta, while the new envelope places the resource unchanged into ToolResult::metadata, so a configured credential can be returned to the host. Scrub every textual resource field, including the URI, before serializing the envelope.

Summary
Problem. tinymcp dropped tool
_meta,structuredContentand resources, so hosts could not render MCP Apps widgets (SEP-1865_meta.ui.resourceUri,text/html;profile=mcp-app) or OpenAI Apps SDK widgets (openai/outputTemplate). Servers such as Swiggy Instamart shipui://widget/*.htmlscreens that no host could show.Solution. Carry that data end to end and give hosts one shared set of presentation rules:
McpClientIdentityConfig.capabilitiesmakes theinitializeclient capabilities configurable (so a host can advertise theio.modelcontextprotocol/uiextension); tool_metais kept;McpToolResultgainsstructured_content,metaandresources; themcp_resultenvelope carries them; a resource-too-large error is added.tool_meta,read_resourceandlist_resourcesby server id._metaand resource payloads, 1.6 for the tool UI presentation vocabulary).uifeature (tinymcp::ui):ui.resourceUriandopenai/outputTemplateupi), image and blockedreadOnlyHintis allowed,show_uiand hidden tools are denied, everything else needs confirmationRelated issue
Closes #50
