What Skybridge does
Skybridge is a React and TypeScript framework for building MCP servers whose tools return interactive UI views that render inside MCP clients such as Claude and ChatGPT. It ships a dev server with a local emulator, hot module reload and a tunnel that connects a local app to those hosts.
Why teams reach for it: Skybridge is for MCP servers that also have to render a UI: it supplies React hooks and tRPC-style type inference running from the MCP server's tool definition through to the React view, a dev server with a local emulator, hot module reload and a permanent tunnel into Claude and ChatGPT, and it abstracts the implementation differences between MCP clients so one app runs in Claude, ChatGPT and VSCode.

What will you use to implement the protocol?
A framework or SDK gives developers pre-built code for creating an MCP server or client, so they don't have to implement the protocol from scratch.
