Don't let AI agents push your buttons - use webMCP instead!
summary
Proposes a concrete API, webMCP, that lets a page declare executable site-side tools (example: search_products tool with a JSON schema) which the browser agent calls instead of doing fragile UI clicks; the page runs the function with full DOM, cookies and backend access and returns structured JSON so agents are faster and more reliable. Claims compatibility with MCP for reuse and announces a Chrome prototype and an explainer for developers to test and give feedback.
