  "account": "The piece discusses WebMCP, an experimental browser API that allows a website to expose tools for an AI agent to call. The author, a speaker at AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe, presents WebMCP Live Demo and introduces its concept. WebMCP operates within the context of the browser, requiring the website to be open and the user logged in (if authentication is needed) before the agent can call the tools exposed by the page. Unlike traditional MCP, WebMCP functions within the browser environment, with the website open and user logged in to utilize the tools. The author highlights the browser-based nature of WebMCP, contrasting it with the cloud-based solutions, and emphasizes the potential privacy benefits due to local model inference. The author also mentions their Chrome extension, WebMCP Local Agent, which allows for local model inference, enhancing privacy and enabling offline operation.",
  "summary": "I haven't written anything lately because, honestly, I just didn't have the headspace for it. There were a few reasons, but the biggest one was my talk at AGNTCon + MCPCon Europe, where I spoke about WebMCP. How did it go? Great! A lot of people showed up, they asked questions — what more could I ask for? 😅 The conference itself was amazing too, and I definitely came back with enough inspiration…",
