WebMCP: Teaching Your Website to Talk to AI Agents

Hacker NewsPublished 16 days ago

WebMCP is a new web standard developed by Google and Microsoft that allows websites to declare structured tools for AI agents to interact with directly, improving reliability over current screen-scraping methods. It enables AI agents to perform tasks like booking a table by calling these tools with specific parameters, making automation more robust to website changes. This technology is currently available in Chrome behind a trial and aims to standardize AI interaction with web pages.
