WebMCP

WebMCP gives an AI assistant built into the web browser the same tools as the MCP server, right on the Easy8 page you have open. There is nothing to connect: the assistant works as the user logged in to Easy8, with that user's permissions.

Requirements

  • A browser with WebMCP support. WebMCP is a new web standard; at the time of writing only Google Chrome supports it, and depending on the version it has to be turned on first. Other browsers ignore it.
  • An administrator turns on Administration → Settings → AI → Enable WebMCP. It does not depend on Enable MCP, except for attachments: the assistant downloads them through the MCP server, so opening attachments also needs Enable MCP.

Security

  • A browser assistant can use every tool, including tools that change data. Read-only access policies and read-only API keys do not apply, because no application or key is involved.
  • The assistant reads the page, including descriptions and comments written by other people, which can contain instructions meant to mislead it. Turn on WebMCP only when this risk is acceptable, and prefer assistants that ask before they change data.
  • Other websites cannot use the Easy8 tools in your name.
