The way users interact with software is changing and AI is reshaping not just how we build apps, but how people experience them.
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) bridges this gap on a technical level, giving AI hosts a standardized way to connect to backend data and services. With MCP Apps, this now extends to UI and UX too: forms, dashboards, and workflows rendering directly inside AI hosts like Claude, VS Code Copilot, or SAP Joule.
In this session, we look at what this means for UI5 developers. We'll examine Joule's current approach to surfacing business UI, its benefits and limitations, and explore why MCP Apps might offer a more flexible path forward. Because UI5 Web Components are built on web standards, they are a natural fit for this new world: rich, interactive business UIs inside AI conversations, backed by the same services that power our Fiori apps today.
Speakers:
Mike Zaschka (Independent SAP Solution Architect, Developer and Consultant)
Marian Zeis (IT Consulting Marian Zeis)
