The Web Standard

The Web Model Context API is a W3C Community Group draft spec. It makes every browser tab a tool source — web pages register tools that AI agents can discover and call:

navigator.modelContext
├── .registerTool(tool)       Register a tool for AI agents
├── .unregisterTool(name)     Remove a tool
├── .provideContext(options)   Set tools (replaces existing)
└── .clearContext()            Remove all tools

MCP-b polyfills that API for all browsers today, and bridges it to the full Model Context Protocol — turning that tool source into a complete MCP server with prompts, resources, sampling, and transports.

Built by MCP-b. Not an official W3C or MCP project.

Getting Started

1. Use the web standard directly

If you're running Chrome with --enable-experimental-web-platform-features, navigator.modelContext is already there. Just use it:

Add @mcp-b/webmcp-types (pnpm add -D @mcp-b/webmcp-types) for full input/output schema inference:

navigator.modelContext.registerTool({
  name: 'add_todo',
  description: 'Add a new todo item',
  inputSchema: {
    type: 'object',
    properties: { title: { type: 'string' }, done: { type: 'boolean' } },
    required: ['title'],
  } as const, // ← args inferred: { title: string; done?: boolean }
  outputSchema: {
    // ← optional — infers return type
    type: 'object',
    properties: { id: { type: 'number' }, title: { type: 'string' } },
    required: ['id', 'title'],
  } as const,
  execute: async (args) => ({ id: Date.now(), title: args.title }),
});

2. Polyfill it

Want it to work in any browser without the Chrome flag? Add the polyfill — same API, same code:

import { initializeWebMCPPolyfill } from '@mcp-b/webmcp-polyfill'; // pnpm add @mcp-b/webmcp-polyfill

initializeWebMCPPolyfill(); // no-op if native support exists

navigator.modelContext.registerTool({
  name: 'get_page_title',
  description: 'Returns the current page title',
  inputSchema: { type: 'object', properties: {} },
  execute: async () => ({
    content: [{ type: 'text', text: document.title }],
  }),
});

Or with React: pnpm add usewebmcp

import { useWebMCP } from 'usewebmcp';
