Flavio Copes details how pages can directly offer tools to browser agents.
Flavio Copes published a detailed article exploring WebMCP on his website. The technology allows web pages to expose specific actions to AI agents using JavaScript or HTML forms rather than requiring agents to mimic human interactions. Copes describes mechanisms for agents to discover and call these tools inside active pages while maintaining secure boundaries. He also includes tests to demonstrate the functionality. This post forms part of his ongoing series of tutorials and resources aimed at developers working with emerging AI tools and agent capabilities.
