WebMCP is available for early preview

WebMCP aims to provide a standard way for exposing structured tools, ensuring AI agents can perform actions on your site with increased speed, reliability, and precision. By defining these tools, you tell agents how and where to interact with your site—whether it’s booking a flight, filing a support ticket, or navigating complex data. This direct communication channel eliminates ambiguity and allows for faster, more robust agent workflows.
Structured interactions for the agentic web
WebMCP proposes two new APIs that allow browser agents to take action on behalf of the user:
- Declarative API – Perform standard actions that can be defined directly in HTML forms.
- Imperative API – Perform complex, more dynamic interactions that require JavaScript execution.
These APIs serve as a bridge, making your website “agent‑ready” and enabling more reliable and performant agent workflows compared to raw DOM actuation.
Use cases
Imagine an agent that can handle complex tasks for your users with confidence and speed.
- Customer support – Help users create detailed support tickets by enabling agents to fill in all necessary technical details automatically.
- E‑commerce – Users can shop more effectively when agents can locate products, configure options, and navigate checkout flows with precision.
- Travel – Agents can search, filter, and handle flight bookings using structured data, ensuring accurate results every time.
