AI lead in monday.com’s CEO office and creator of AgentCraft and MCP-UI; he co-created MCP Apps, an open standard for interactive interfaces in AI assistants.
Managing Coding Agents at Scale Requires Better Visibility, Autonomy, and Review
Ido Salomon, creator of AgentCraft, argues that the obstacle to using coding agents at scale is the human effort required to steer, direct and review them. His strategy-game-style orchestrator represents agents as units on a map, with the file system as terrain, and combines visibility tools with autonomous workflows and shared workspaces. Salomon says the detailed interface may suit power users, but not everyone; an early, simpler mode is intended to make agent tools easier to approach.
MCP Apps Standardizes Host-Controlled UI Across AI Assistants
Liad Yosef and Ido Salomon argue that MCP Apps gives AI assistants a way to render service-specific interactive interfaces rather than reducing every result to text. Built from the MCP-UI project and being developed as an MCP extension, the approach lets a server return an app resource that a compatible host renders in a sandbox, while clicks and other actions return through the host for further orchestration. They present it as a portability and distribution model, though state management and interoperability remain active work.
MCP Apps Turn Chat Hosts Into Application Distribution Channels
Liad Yosef and Ido Salomon argue that MCP Apps turn chat products such as ChatGPT, Claude, VS Code, Cursor and Copilot into application distribution surfaces, not just places for text responses. Their case is that tools can return branded, interactive UI resources over MCP, while user actions flow back through the host so the model retains context and control. For builders, they frame this as a shift from monolithic web destinations to portable app components that can run across compliant agent hosts.
