Pull request overview
This PR fixes a critical bug where MCP UI prompts were not being submitted to the chat. The append prop was missing from the ProgressiveMessageList component in BaseChat, causing interactive buttons in MCP UI resources to call an empty default function instead of actually submitting prompts. Additionally, the MCP Elicitation documentation page is being made publicly visible.

appendprop to enable MCP UI prompt submission - Removes

…mpts The append prop was not being passed from BaseChat to ProgressiveMessageList, which meant MCP UI buttons that send 'prompt' type postMessages were calling an empty default function instead of actually submitting to the chat. This fix enables MCP UI interactive buttons to work properly by connecting the prompt action handler to handleSubmit.

Summary

appendprop was not being passed fromBaseChattoProgressiveMessageList, which meant MCP UI buttons that sendprompttype postMessages were calling an empty default function() => {}instead of actually submitting to the chat.Problem
When an MCP UI (rendered via
MCPUIResourceRenderer) sends a prompt message like:The message was received by
@mcp-ui/client, which calledappendPromptToChat(prompt)inMCPUIResourceRenderer. However, sinceappendwas not passed down through the component chain, it defaulted to an empty function and nothing happened.Fix

This fix is also required for the MCP Apps feature branch (
feat/add-mcp-app-renderer) to work properly, as it also relies on theappendprop flowing down fromBaseChat.Broken version
