How to Check WebMCP Readiness in AmICited

Use the WebMCP check in AmICited's Agent Accessibility audit to see whether your site exposes callable tools that AI agents can use directly — search, add to cart, book — instead of guessing from the page.

The next frontier of agent-readiness is letting AI agents act on your site, not just read it. WebMCP lets a site expose callable tools — search, add to cart, book — that agents invoke directly. This check detects whether yours does.

The WebMCP detection section of the Agent Accessibility audit

Note
A “Not detected” result is normal today — WebMCP is an emerging standard. This check is here so you can see where you stand and adopt it early if it fits your site.

Where to find it

It’s the WebMCP section of Audit → Agent Accessibility, with a status badge (e.g. Not detected).

What it checks

As the section explains: “WebMCP lets a site expose tools (actions) that AI agents can call directly — search, add to cart, book, etc. — instead of guessing from the page. Detected from the homepage HTML.” AmICited inspects your homepage for a WebMCP declaration and reports whether one is present.

Why it matters

  • Agents act reliably. Instead of inferring how to use your site from the page, an agent can call defined tools — fewer errors, more completed tasks.
  • You control the actions. Exposing explicit tools lets you decide what agents can do (and how), rather than leaving it to guesswork.
  • Early-mover advantage. As agentic browsing grows, sites that are already agent-actionable stand to benefit first.

How to use it

  1. Check your status. If it’s Not detected, you haven’t implemented WebMCP yet.
  2. Decide if it fits. Sites with clear actions (commerce, booking, search) benefit most.
  3. Implement and re-check. If you add WebMCP, re-run the audit to confirm detection and update the WebMCP readiness tile.

Even if you don’t adopt it today, this check keeps an emerging capability on your radar.
