WebMCP: Making Your Web App Agent-Ready
Towards AI

Generative AI
AI agents no longer need to scrape your UI. Your website simply tells them what it can do. Every time an AI agent interacts with a website today, it’s doing something absurd: it takes a screenshot, sends that image to a large language model, and hopes the model can figure out where to click. When that doesn’t work, it parses raw HTML with up to thousands of tokens, trying to reverse-engineer an interface designed for human eyes. A single button click can use up as many tokens as it takes to write a small novel. This is the state of the art, and it’s embarrassingly fragile.
