Scott and Wes unpack WebMCP, a new standard that lets AI interact with websites through structured tools instead of slow, bot-style clicking. They demo it, debate imperative vs declarative APIs, and share their hottest take: this might be the web’s real AI moment.
To get access you can join the Chrome Early Preview Program. I think you can just turn on the WebMCP flag in about:flags though. developer.chrome.com/docs/ai/join-epp
The docs are here: docs.google.com/document/d/1rtU1fRPS0bMqd9abMG_hc6K9OAI6soUy3Kh00toAgyk/edit?tab=t.0
And the Chrome extension: chromewebstore.google.com/detail/model-context-tool-inspec/gbpdfapgefenggkahomfgkhfehlcenpd
