Google wants to make the web agent-ready

Google unveiled Chrome and web standards updates to make websites more usable by AI agents and coding tools.

The plans include WebMCP support in Chrome, agent access to Chrome DevTools data, and Modern Web Guidance for Baseline-targeted builds.

The move could change how browsers, sites, and developer tools work together as agentic AI becomes mainstream.

Early adopters and use cases already span companies like Booking.com, Expedia, Instacart, Intuit, Shopify, and Redfin.
