WordPress

People, browser agents, and the Assistant

See how the same WordPress task works for people and agents

You choose which WordPress tools agents may use. People can still use the ordinary website, compatible browser agents can call the approved tools directly, and the optional Assistant lets visitors use them in a conversation.

As people delegate more browsing and routine work to personal assistants, agents will become normal website visitors. The owner still needs a practical say in what those agents can discover and use. Read the publisher story behind Open for Agents.

Storefront walkthrough

Follow a product search, cart change, and Undo

Choose each step to compare what the visitor sees, what Core publishes, and how the Assistant presents the same reviewed boundary. This walkthrough uses a recorded demo journey, so you can explore every step without changing your cart.

What the site owner controls

Core publishes the tools you approve; the Assistant stays optional

Open for Agents Core finds supported WordPress tools and gives the owner a clear process for reviewing and publishing them.

  1. Discover the capabilities already present in WordPress.

  2. Review what each capability reads, returns, or changes.

  3. Govern its access, approval, and publication boundaries.

  4. Publish only the tools the owner has approved.

  5. Validate the result through the public website.

Compatible browser agents

Compatible browser agents can use Core-published tools directly. This direct WebMCP path does not require the Open for Agents hosted service.

Open for Agents Assistant

The optional Assistant presents the same reviewed boundaries in conversation. The secure hosted service connects it to the site's reviewed capabilities.

Try the Assistant in the official demos. We provide it directly for selected projects; there is no public download or self-service plan yet.

Check your own website

See how your website responds before you change anything

Run a live, read-only check of the homepage response, published crawler choices, sitemap, and optional discovery files.

What to know today

What the current products do not do

WebMCP is emerging

WebMCP is subject to change, and compatible browser support is not universal. Tool annotations help clients understand intent, but they do not replace authorization, access control, or website security.

Open for Agents keeps checkout, payment, order placement, authentication, and sensitive account actions under human control. An approved tool does not let an agent bypass the site's security or the visitor's approval. Open for Agents is independent: compatibility references do not imply endorsement by Chrome, Google, Shopify, WordPress, or any standards body.

Try it yourself

Try the live Storefront Assistant

The live demo lets you repeat the WordPress journey yourself: current WooCommerce discovery, a reviewed cart proposal, visitor approval, a visible change, and Undo.
