# `fastmcp.apps.config`
MCP Apps support — extension negotiation and typed UI metadata models.
Provides constants and Pydantic models for the MCP Apps extension
(io.modelcontextprotocol/ui), enabling tools and resources to carry
UI metadata for clients that support interactive app rendering.
## Functions
### `app_config_to_meta_dict` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L181" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
app_config_to_meta_dict(app: AppConfig | dict[str, Any]) -> dict[str, Any]
```
Convert an AppConfig or dict to the wire-format dict for ``meta["ui"]``.
### `is_model_visible` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L188" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
is_model_visible(component: FastMCPComponent) -> bool
```
Whether a component may be shown to, or invoked by, the model.
Visibility is a declaration, and the MCP Apps spec puts the filtering on
the host — so ``tools/list`` carries app-only tools and the host keeps
them from the model. That division only works where a host stands between
the server and the model.
It does not hold for surfaces a server drives itself. A search result or
a code-mode catalog reaches the model as ordinary tool output, and a
call-tool proxy invokes on a name the model supplies; nothing downstream
can filter either. Those surfaces have to apply the declaration here.
A component with no ``visibility`` is visible: the field marks the
exception, and the spec's default is both audiences.
## Classes
### `ResourceCSP` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L21" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Content Security Policy for MCP App resources.
Declares which external origins the app is allowed to connect to or
load resources from. Hosts use these declarations to build the
``Content-Security-Policy`` header for the sandboxed iframe.
### `ResourcePermissions` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L57" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Iframe sandbox permissions for MCP App resources.
Each field, when set (typically to ``{}``), requests that the host
grant the corresponding Permission Policy feature to the sandboxed
iframe. Hosts MAY honour these; apps should use JS feature detection
as a fallback.
### `AppConfig` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L85" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
Configuration for MCP App tools and resources.
Controls how a tool or resource participates in the MCP Apps extension.
On tools, ``resource_uri`` and ``visibility`` specify which UI resource
to render and where the tool appears. On resources, those fields must
be left unset (the resource itself is the UI).
All fields use ``exclude_none`` serialization so only explicitly-set
values appear on the wire. Aliases match the MCP Apps wire format
(camelCase).
### `PrefabAppConfig` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L125" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
App configuration for Prefab tools with sensible defaults.
Like ``app=True`` but customizable. Auto-wires the Prefab renderer
URI and merges the renderer's CSP with any additional domains you
specify. The renderer resource is registered automatically.
Example::
@mcp.tool(app=PrefabAppConfig()) # same as app=True
@mcp.tool(app=PrefabAppConfig(
csp=ResourceCSP(frame_domains=["https://example.com"]),
))
**Methods:**
#### `model_post_init` <sup><a href="https://github.com/PrefectHQ/fastmcp/blob/main/fastmcp_slim/fastmcp/apps/config.py#L141" target="_blank"><Icon icon="github" style="width: 14px; height: 14px;" /></a></sup>
```python
model_post_init(self, __context: Any) -> None
```
