A modal popup interrupts the user's flow. Let me redesign this as a smooth slide-out panel that keeps users in their chat context.
Perfect! I've redesigned the MCP settings as a smooth slide-out panel that doesn't interrupt the user's flow. Here are the key improvements:
Non-Intrusive Design Features:
Slide-Out Panel:
- Slides in from the right side instead of a modal popup
- Maintains chat context - users can still see their conversation
- Smooth animations with backdrop blur
- Easy to close by clicking outside or the X button
Compact Interface:
- Optimized for a narrower 384px width
- Condensed server cards with essential information
- Smaller form inputs and buttons
- Tabbed interface for better space utilization
Visual Indicators:
- Added a chevron icon to the MCP Tools button showing it's expandable
- Quick status indicator at the top when MCP is active
- Color-coded states (green for active, etc.)
Improved UX:
- Users can configure MCP settings while keeping their chat visible
- No context switching or navigation interruption
- Quick "Done" button to close and continue chatting
- Responsive design that works on different screen sizes
The panel slides smoothly in and out, allowing users to quickly enable MCP tools, select servers, and get back to their conversation without losing their place or train of thought.
