Yes, but in practice, how do you connect AI to WebMCP? What is the point of a protocol that speaks MCP inside the browser if it's not reachable outside the browser?

Many browsers now have AI agents built into them. For example, Chrome has Gemini-in-Chrome, and Atlas has ChatGPT. When a user is on a website and then opens the built-in browser AI agent, the AI agent will see the WebMCP tool calls for that website and be able to call them.
