ui-widget-developer
Build MCP servers for Copilot Chat using the OpenAI Apps SDK or MCP Apps SDK widget rendering support (any language). Use this skill when: - Creating MCP servers that integrate with M365 Copilot declarative agents - Building rich interactive widgets (React + Fluent UI) that render in Copilot Chat - Implementing tools that return structuredContent for widget rendering - Adapting an existing MCP server to support Copilot widget rendering - Setting up devtunnels for localhost MCP server exposure - Configuring mcpPlugin.json manifests with RemoteMCPServer runtime Do NOT use this skill for general agent development (scaffolding, manifests, deployment) — use declarative-agent-developer instead. This skill is ONLY for MCP server + widget development. Triggers: "MCP server for Copilot", "OpenAI Apps SDK", "Copilot widget", "structuredContent", "MCP plugin", "devtunnels MCP", "OAI app", "widget rendering", "UI widget"
