The Web is Forking
summary
The web is splitting into a human DOM world and an agentic web that finds sites via lmstxt/g.org and WebMCP, reads Markdown-for-Agents or converted HTML, and executes actions with MCP. Agents source 85% of quotes from forums, 88% of agent citations aren’t in Google’s top 10, and 44% come from the first third of a page. Cloudflare’s on‑the‑fly Markdown cuts token use 50–80%. Use server MCP for production, client MCP for richer in‑browser tools, and Stripe agent wallets plus strict schemas and caps to prevent runaway spend.
