Unclear What the 'ui://' scheme is used for and what feature it belongs to is not established by the evidence.

What

A constant that previously held the version string "0.4.10" now holds the string "ui://", alongside a new companion constant "ui/resourceUri". This suggests a new URI scheme for referencing UI-related resources in MCP (Model Context Protocol, the standard Claude Code uses to talk to external tool servers).

Why

The evidence does not say what feature this scheme supports, only that the constant now exists.

What the documentation says
Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Agent SDK reference - TypeScript touched a line naming ui:// after this was published. * A tool whose `tools/list` entry declares an [MCP Apps `ui://` resource](#mcpserverstatus) has a limit of 8,388,608 characters on Claude Code v2.1.295 or later, and versions before v2.1.295 exempt it. agent-sdk/typescript see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up ui://, on Design guidelines. All external origins are blocked by default. Declare the origins each `ui://` resource needs through `_meta.ui.csp`: connectors/building/mcp-apps/design-guidelines see the edit
