The agent-ready web: Simplify user actions with WebMCP
summary
Claim: WebMCP turns web UIs into callable tools so agents stop screen‑scraping. Implementation specifics include a declarative API (HTML attributes generate JSON schemas) and an imperative API (register custom tools with an execute block running DOM JS). Live demo completes a concert purchase in three tool calls (search, open, purchase), runs in Chrome 146 preview, and ships an inspector extension plus an eval CLI for testing.
