Give your coding agent the ability to install and test Chrome extensions with Chrome DevTools for agents → https://goo.gle/4cjO2wa In this episode of Developer Tooling Tips, learn how to configure DevTools for agents to control Chrome Extensions. You need to manually enable extension capabilities in your MCP config. Once enabled, specialized tools allow agents to load extensions from disk, open popup panels, capture DOM snapshots, and interact with UI elements using the Chrome DevTools protocol.

As a warm-up for The WebMCP Challenge, I added WebMCP support to my LED grid controller, and you can now ask AI agent to change the emoji rendered on the LED grid in my office (be nice, that shows up in my video calls). Head to https://lnkd.in/eyMixBxx with your favourite WebMCP enabled AI agent and prompt it. You can try "Show a thumbs up on the LED grid", but you can also be creative, like telling the agent about your mood and asking the agent to pick and emoji that reflects it. Want to join the challenge? Head to https://lnkd.in/eJwWdMzc #WebMCP

Apparently, not even a typhoon could keep me away from Shanghai for Google I/O Connect China 🙈 While there were so many flight delays and cancellations getting into Shanghai because of the weather issues and typhoon Dolphin, I was surprised my flight still went ahead (especially as the turbulence had me holding on for dear life). I loved meeting developers and builders from across the region and sharing what we're up to in Chrome. I spent most of the event at the HTML-in-Canvas booth, which had pretty epic demos of the amazing things you can do with the canvas API and how this latest update is an incredible improvement for accessibility. It was especially cool to share the creative demos and libraries people have already built using HTML-in-Canvas. In between chats with developers, I ran off to run a workshop helping developers get started with Modern Web Guidance. It was a popular session, the room was so full we had lots of people standing and watching from the back! I walked through how you can: ✅ install it with any agent ✅ pair it with Chrome DevTools for agents to find and fix performance issues ✅ audit a site for outdated code against a Baseline target ✅ build new features that make a site feel a little more delightful ✨ If I'm being for real, the best part was the food wheweee 🤤😪😪 so good!

We're excited to see ChatGPT supporting WebMCP! We co-proposed WebMCP as a web standard track API that lets sites expose structured tools to AI agents. Because it's still experimental, it will likely change based on practical testing. Join OpenAI Developers WebMCP Challenge to build agent-ready web apps and win prizes → https://goo.gle/4qpDQYV Take on the virtual challenge from Aug 25 to Sep 3 to try out the spec. And tune into the kickoff livestream on Aug 25 to view example projects, learn best practices, and see what the judges are looking for. Plus, our own Sarah Drasner is joining the judging panel! We can't wait to see what you build.
The WebMCP Challenge is here. We’re teaming up with Cloudflare, Shopify, Vercel, Google Chrome, Render, and Netlify to see what you can build when people and AI agents work together. Introducing WebMCP support in the ChatGPT desktop app’s built-in browser. Your website exposes the tools; ChatGPT discovers and uses them directly on the live page. Your site controls which actions are available while people and ChatGPT work together. Build a new web app or ChatGPT Site, or add WebMCP to an existing site. Up for grabs: $35,000 in cash prizes, Codex Micros, ChatGPT Pro subscriptions, OpenAI merch, and partner prizes. Build and submit by September 3 at 5 p.m. PT. https://lnkd.in/eyte9cyC
