## What it does

This skill guides browser WebMCP integration for frontend codebases. It inspects entry points and determines whether to use the imperative API with `document.modelContext` or declarative HTML form annotations like `toolname` and `tooldescription`.

During imperative registration, the skill configures `registerTool` calls. Chrome 151+ returns a promise, so it uses `await` for compatibility. It sets up execution cancellation via `AbortSignal` on Chrome 153+. High-stakes actions receive `consequentialHint` in Chrome `154.0.8017.0`+, while diagnostics use the `debugging` hint.

It fails outside a secure window browsing context. Running it inside a backend Node process, worker, or headless service is unsupported.

## Requirements
- Works with: Chrome

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --skill webmcp -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/webmcp/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --skill webmcp -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --skill webmcp -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills webmcp
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --skill webmcp -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --path skills/webmcp
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills --skill webmcp -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/webmaxru/web-ai-agent-skills/tree/HEAD/skills/webmcp/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- register browser actions in `document.modelContext`
- annotate HTML forms with `toolname` and `toolautosubmit`
- handle action cancellation with `AbortSignal`
- configure `consequentialHint` annotations for destructive tools

## Example prompts
- Expose our search form to browser agents using WebMCP declarative attributes.
- Register a client-side WebMCP tool through `document.modelContext` in this app.
- Add cancellation support with `AbortSignal` to our WebMCP browser tools.

description: Implements and debugs browser WebMCP integrations in JavaScript or TypeScript web apps. Use when exposing imperative tools through document.modelContext (with a navigator.modelContext fallback), annotating HTML forms for declarative tools, handling agent-invoked form flows, or validating WebMCP behavior in the current Chrome preview. Don't use for server-side MCP servers, REST tool backends, or non-browser providers.

# WebMCP

## Procedures

**Step 1: Identify the browser integration surface**
1. Inspect the workspace for browser entry points, UI handlers, and any existing app state or form handling layer.
2. Execute `node scripts/find-webmcp-targets.mjs .` to inventory likely frontend files and existing WebMCP markers when a Node runtime is available.
3. If a Node runtime is unavailable, inspect the nearest `package.json`, HTML entry point, and framework bootstrap files manually to identify the browser app boundary.
4. If the workspace contains multiple frontend apps, prefer the app that contains the active route, component, or user-requested feature surface.
5. If the inventory still leaves multiple plausible frontend targets, stop and ask the user which app should receive the WebMCP integration.
6. If the project is not a browser web app, stop and explain that this skill does not apply.

**Step 2: Choose the WebMCP shape**
1. Read `references/webmcp-reference.md` before writing code.
2. Read `references/declarative-api.md` when the feature can be expressed as an HTML form flow or needs agent-invoked submit handling.
3. Read `references/compatibility.md` when native availability, Chrome preview setup, or draft-versus-preview behavior matters.
4. Read `references/troubleshooting.md` when registration, schema serialization, or agent-driven form execution fails.
5. Verify that the integration runs in a secure window browsing context.
6. If the feature must run on the server, in a worker, or headlessly without a visible browsing context, stop and explain the platform limitation.
7. Choose the imperative API when the tool wraps existing JavaScript logic, requires dynamic registration, or must handle execution cancellation.
8. Choose the declarative API when the user flow already maps cleanly to a form submission and the page can keep the human-visible form in sync with agent activity.
9. Keep tool names, descriptions, and parameters explicit and positive, and prefer atomic tools over overlapping variants.

**Step 3: Implement tool registration**
1. Read `assets/model-context-registry.template.ts` and adapt it to the framework, state model, and file layout in the workspace when using the imperative API.
2. Resolve the model context with the feature-detection pattern `const modelContext = document.modelContext || navigator.modelContext;` and guard subsequent registration on its presence. Prefer `document.modelContext` (the current surface) and keep `navigator.modelContext` only as a fallback for older Chrome 146–149 builds.
