A builder asks for UI and UX best practices when turning an existing workflow into an MCP app.
They already have a web-based flow working, but suspect a 1:1 port into an MCP app would be a bad idea. Their main concern is usability for non-technical users, especially if the default experience looks too much like a chat interface.
The post is essentially a request for implementation guidance: what interaction patterns work well in MCP apps, and what examples exist that avoid making the product feel like a generic chat box.
