React-ing a backend framework

This talk covers the process of building a backend framework at the intersection of MCP, DX & UI. I’ll walk through the unsolved problems we encountered, the design decisions that shaped an open source framework and what it takes to scale both the technology and community around it. A major turning point was integrating React and introducing native support for rendering components inside tools and rethinking this backend-first framework. This takes tools to the next level and redefines how users interact with interfaces. We’ll cover practical examples, implementation details and a few lessons learned as a first time OSS project author.
