WebMCP is on track to be a W3C spec, and I think it solves all of this in a very straightforward manner.

For frontend devs, this can be as simple as writing some new markup that exposes their controls as tools to the browser. Then when the LLM engages a registered tool, the UI hides navigation controls and expands the content. Not a ton of work, but huge payoff to stay relevant.

MCP tool descriptions aren't just functional, but ultimately the new hyperlinks in a new kind of SEO that digs into every facet of a site or app's design.

TL;DR Imagine a web with less junk on the screen and more dynamic and accessible UI.
