We just submitted our project to the OpenAI Developers WebMCP hackathon: The WebMCP Computer. WebMCP Computer is an operating system that lives inside the browser, with WebMCP as its native control layer. It is a computer that treats agents as first-class citizens, where files, processes, applications, windows, and the... terminal are exposed directly through WebMCP. You can send anyone one URL that becomes a disposable computer for any agent task. We created a computer instance in ChatGPT Sites, open it with Codex’s in-app browser and try it here: Some examples of what you can do with WebMCP Computer: 1/ Give a coding agent a fresh computer to clone a repository, edit code, run tests, and preview the result. 2/ Let an agent inspect logs, manage processes, change configurations, and repair a broken system. 3/ Give a research agent its own workspace to browse, download files, analyze data, and create a report. 4/ Create reproducible environments for evaluating and comparing different agents. 5/ Let humans and agents work together in the same environment, with the agent using WebMCP and the human using the GUI. The list of applications is endless, with more examples in our GitHub. The project is fully open source under the MIT license. Created by our awesome founding engineer Ilay Alog.show more

@OpenAIDevs that's a winning idea. and amazing execution. the website is snappy and looks so polished. I'm also about to apply. great job!!

@OpenAIDevs ty! 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Super cool!

@OpenAIDevs Thanks 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Amazing! Looks promising💪🏻

@OpenAIDevs ty🙏🏻🚀

@OpenAIDevs 🔥

@OpenAIDevs Super cool!!!

@OpenAIDevs Thanks Opher 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Love this

@OpenAIDevs Thanks Andy! Miss you!

@OpenAIDevs The URL-as-disposable-computer primitive is the interesting part. Agents stop being visitors and start getting a workspace with state.

@OpenAIDevs really cool and clever!

@OpenAIDevs thanks David!

@OpenAIDevs 把浏览器做成代理的操作系统，这个思路有点猛

@OpenAIDevs Thanks! 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Very super cool! Love it 🔥

@OpenAIDevs Thanks 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Coool. MCP web. Talking to computer vision is meta. Nice.

@OpenAIDevs REALLY COOOL

@OpenAIDevs Now this is some cool stuff

@OpenAIDevs Very cool! Well filmed demo too

@OpenAIDevs Soon it will be the normal

@OpenAIDevs very cool guys! !

@OpenAIDevs Thanks! Big fans of your work at Cabinet

@OpenAIDevs browser operating systems built around webmcp agents look incredible

@OpenAIDevs The native control layer part is the right shape for agents.

@OpenAIDevs 👀

@OpenAIDevs What’s the use of using mcp for this? Such a waste

@OpenAIDevs Bro literally brought the domain

Parabéns! Admito que deu até uma pontinha de inveja! Queria muito participar, mas não tenho elegibilidade. Seu projeto está incrível! Agora é só equipá-lo com package tools. Se puder dar uma olhada na biblioteca analogos no PyPI, acredito que ela pode agregar ferramentas interessantes e carregar novos domínios sem limites. Esse projeto tem um potencial enorme de escala!

@OpenAIDevs I just had this thought that this would be a really cool idea and here we are! Nice work.

@OpenAIDevs ty 🙏🏻

@OpenAIDevs Hello Levin, I sent you a DM Would appreciate you checking that. Thanks

@OpenAIDevs WebMCP doesn’t manage processes, compile code, handle concurrency, or virtualize a filesystem. 95% of the engineering heavy lifting here is WASM/WASI, OPFS, and virtualized POSIX runtimes running inside the browser sandbox. WebMCP is just a thin ~5% declarative wrapper

@OpenAIDevs Supercool.. smhow I thought that Codex is Agent Computer and WebMCP is helping it to do browser tasks with anything exists over web.

@OpenAIDevs even after watching the video 3 times and trying the demo I couldn’t not understand what this does

@OpenAIDevs Looks awesome. Why do we need WebMCP for this tho? Can an agent work on your own local computer already?

@OpenAIDevs This is great! I also participated in the challenge!!

@OpenAIDevs agents as first-class citizens is the right frame. the next question is what their citizenship papers look like, every platform still assumes a human clicked the signup button
