OpenDOM wants to give agents a front door
A forthcoming toolkit for defining WebMCP tools that let AI agents use websites through deliberate, site-provided interfaces.
Field notes
The site frames WebMCP as a structured alternative to screen-driven browsing: a website exposes named tools, and an agent calls them with the required inputs. Its examples include an order lookup that pauses to request an order ID before returning an ETA. The cited WindTunnel comparison covers 49 tasks on eight websites; for GPT-6 Astra, the page reports median WebMCP cost of $0.017 and 2,575 tokens, versus $0.261 and 20,560 tokens for computer use.
