Component Registry & MCP to Frontend — GenUI Architecture (P3)
In the previous part, we understood that a Framework-Agnostic Frontend (like Astro) doesn’t receive HTML code from AI, but JSON data. But how does the Frontend know it needs to render that JSON block into a <Card>, a <Chart>, or a <Form>? The answer lies in the Component Registry — the interface resolution brain of the Generative UI architecture. 3.1. The Convergence of MCP (Model Context Protocol) and Frontend To understand the Component Registry, we need to go upstream to the Backend. On the Backend, modern Agentic systems are standardizing communication with peripheral systems (like Databases, APIs) via the MCP (Model Context Protocol) standard (See details in Series: MCP Engineering In Production). ...
