WebMCP API: JavaScript Interface for Exposing Web Apps as AI Tools
By
Alifatisk
Slow-proofed and worth the wait. Worth its weight in flour.
Summary
WebMCP API is a new JavaScript interface that enables web developers to expose web application functionality as 'tools' - JavaScript functions with natural language descriptions and structured schemas. These tools can be invoked by AI agents, browser agents, and assistive technologies. Web pages using WebMCP essentially function as Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers that implement tools in client-side scripts rather than on the backend. The technology facilitates collaborative workflows where users and AI agents work together within the same web interface, leveraging existing application logic while maintaining shared context and user control.
