One prompt builds an agent-agnostic TMDB MCP with generative UI via Grok
Baconbrix · x · 2026-10-02
Developer Baconbrix demos using Grok's /build command to create a working MCP server from a single prompt:
- The prompt asks for an MCP that searches and queries TMDB, supporting MCP UI refs for generative UI — movie lists render as carousels with details, plus custom formats for actors and movie reports generated via Grok APIs
- The resulting MCP is agent-agnostic and works with any tool, including Grok itself
- Style tweaks are done by returning to the build chat with natural language
A practical look at the "AI-generated MCP + embedded UI" workflow for custom tool integrations.
