Live on this page

This page has a real WebMCP tool. Try calling it.

The tool below is registered right now using document.modelContext.registerTool(). Use the Rook extension or Chrome’s native WebMCP support to call it from an AI agent.

Tool registration (live)

await document.modelContext.registerTool({
  name: "get_docs_info",
  description: "Returns info about the current docs page",
  inputSchema: {
    type: "object",
    properties: {
      include_headings: { type: "boolean" },
      include_links: { type: "boolean" },
    },
  },
  execute: (args) => {
    const info = {
      title: document.title,
      url: location.href,
      headingCount: document.querySelectorAll("h1,h2,h3").length,
      linkCount: document.querySelectorAll("a[href]").length,
    };
    return {
      content: [{ type: "text", text: JSON.stringify(info) }]
    };
  }
});

Resource registration (MCP-B)

resource.js

import '@mcp-b/global';

const modelContext = document.modelContext;
if (typeof modelContext?.registerResource !== 'function') {
  throw new Error('MCP-B extensions are unavailable');
}

modelContext.registerResource({
  uri: 'app://config',
  name: 'App Configuration',
  mimeType: 'application/json',
  read: async () => ({
    contents: [{ uri: 'app://config', text: JSON.stringify(config) }]
  })
});

Continue with the first tool tutorial, the @mcp-b/webmcp-polyfill reference, or the @mcp-b/webmcp-ts-sdk reference.
