Overview

From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.

Added For Clarification: February 12th, 2026

You likely want the official W3C repo + spec: https://github.com/webmachinelearning/webmcp

This was an early WebMCP proposal / implementation. I was just a guy with a dream.

The idea of WebMCP has since evolved and is being worked on by much more capable folks that develop the web.

This implementation is not compliant with the W3C spec.

All this being said, please do feel free to try it out, as it demonstrates the value of WebMCP.

A proposal and code for websites to support client side LLMs

[](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@jason.today/webmcp) [](./LICENSE)

WebMCP allows websites to share tools, resources, prompts, etc. to LLMs. In other words, WebMCP allows a website to be an MCP server. No sharing API Keys. Use any model you want.

Here's a simple website I built that is WebMCP-enabled

It comes in the form of a widget that a website owner can put on their site and expose tools to give client-side LLMs what they need to provide a great UX for the user or agent.

The look, feel, how it's used, and security are all absolutely open for contribution / constructive criticism. MCP Clients directly building WebMCP functionality seems like an ideal outcome.

An end-user can connect to any number of websites at a time - and tools are "scoped" (by name) based on the domain to simplify organization.

Getting started (using your LLM with websites using WebMCP)

Installation

Just specify your MCP client (claude, cursor, cline, windsurf, or a path to json)

npx -y @jason.today/webmcp@latest --config claude

_If you're interested in setting it up manually, use the command `npx -y @jason.to
