WebMCP is a new technology that allows AI agents to interact with web pages more directly. It works by turning web pages into MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers via a Chrome extension. This enables agents to understand and manipulate web content in a structured way, potentially improving efficiency and user experience.
The technology, backed by Google and Microsoft, is designed to work alongside human users, allowing them to ask agents questions about the page they are viewing. WebMCP uses a Declarative API for standard actions and an Imperative API for more complex tasks. Early experiments demonstrate the ability to query web pages and receive structured data back.
