>Questions

Is Mermaid Image Generator MCP Server an MCP App with inline UI?

No inline MCP App UI is claimed here. It is listed as a server or host because the verified source documents MCP tools or client support, not a ui:// app resource.

Where were these details checked?

Against the maintainer's README, source, or official documentation at https://github.com/codingthefuturewithai/mcp_mermaid_image_gen, plus the GitHub API where a repository is available.
