🤖 WebMCP Developer Preview: Any Website Becomes Agent-Readable with One Switch#
Cloudflare launched a developer preview of WebMCP, which exposes a WebMCP interface for any website with a single toggle and no new APIs or origin changes required. The human visitor stays in control and creators keep their traffic attribution.
Why it matters: WebMCP dramatically lowers the barrier for making existing web properties usable by browser AI agents, which expands the surface area agents can operate on without bespoke integration work from site owners.
