The headless CMS with page management, built for teams whose content has to answer to APIs and agents.

Based on Joel Varty's WebMCP breakdown

2 minute assessment

Are you ready to ship a WebMCP tool safely?

WebMCP is a web API that lets an AI agent use functions on your website, instead of trying to work out the interface on its own.

Before you build, there's a few things to check, including;

  • Does your content have enough structure for the tool to return a useful answer?
  • Is the tool clear about what it does?
  • Do you have the workflow if an agent takes an action on behalf of a user?

The assessment checks your content structure, tool descriptions, security, how the API works, and actions.

What you might be missing

The API is only one part of the tool. What matters is what the tool can actually do:

    • Your content: Does it have the right information and answers?
    • Your instructions: Is it clear what the tool does and how to use it?
    • Its access: What can it see, and what can it change?
For example

A find_customer_stories tool needs more than a list of stories.

If each story is one large rich text field, the agent has to work through the content to find the right answer. Fields for product, industry, topic, or summary give it more to work with.

The same goes for tool descriptions, security, and actions. These are worth thinking through before you put a tool in front of users.

The assessment gives you a quick way to check whether you have covered them.

The assessment

See where you stand

You don't need to spend an afternoon reading the WebMCP spec to figure out whether your site is ready. 6 questions, 2 minutes, 5 areas:

01Content structure 02Tool descriptions 03Security 04The API 05Actions

You may find that your site is ready, or that there's one thing to fix first. Either way, you'll know what needs to be done before you build.
