The web was built for humans. AI agents are…improvising.
Think about how the internet works today: You open a browser, search, click around, fill forms, and compare pages.
Perfect workflow for a human. Pretty terrible workflow for an AI.
When an agent tries to do something simple, like finding flights or comparing products, it often has to scrape HTML or even analyze screenshots to understand which buttons exist.
Which is basically the digital equivalent of guessing. That's why Web Model Context Protocol (WebMCP) is interesting. Instead of forcing AI to reverse-engineer websites, WebMCP lets sites expose structured actions directly to agents.
Not "find the button somewhere on the page" But something like:
- searchProducts()
- bookFlight()
- cancelSubscription()
Websites stop behaving like static pages and start acting like services AI can talk to. The web slowly evolves into something new: an environment designed not only for humans, but also for AI agents working on our behalf.
Curious what are you guys think about this shift. Would you expose AI-accessible capabilities on your website if a standard like this became widely adopted?
