>Questions

Is Budget Allocator MCP App an MCP App with inline UI?

Yes. The maintainer's source declares an MCP UI resource and links it to a tool result. It renders inline only in hosts that support MCP Apps.

Where were these details checked?

Against the maintainer's README, source, or official documentation at https://github.com/modelcontextprotocol/ext-apps/tree/main/examples/budget-allocator-server, plus the GitHub API where a repository is available.
