Can I use WebMCP in production today?

Not in stable browsers — WebMCP is still a W3C proposal. Monitor the Web Machine Learning Working Group at github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp for ratification updates.

Does WebMCP work with any AI model?

Yes, as long as the browser-integrated agent supports the WebMCP protocol. The tools you register are model-agnostic — the schema-driven approach works with any LLM that can call structured tools.

What is the difference between a WebMCP tool and a regular JavaScript function?

A WebMCP tool is a regular JavaScript function wrapped in a structured schema (name, description, parameters) and registered with the browser agent via navigator.mcp. The schema is what makes the function discoverable and callable by an AI agent.
